We Are:

Fermilab is America’s premier laboratory for particle physics and accelerator research, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. We support discovery science experiments in Illinois and at locations around the world, including deep underground mines in South Dakota and Canada, mountaintops in Arizona and Chile, CERN in Europe and the South Pole.

 

We are strategic risk takers, innovators, and collaborators. We are engineers, scientists, technicians, administrative professionals. We are 1,800 employees advancing knowledge for the benefit of humankind. Fermilab has been at the forefront of particle physics for more than 40 years. We build world-leading accelerators and detectors to conduct some of the most advanced particle physics experiments possible. We collect and analyze the data from those experiments with some of the most powerful computers in the world. We conduct this research on a 6,800-acre prairie, 35 miles outside Chicago, a treasure that has been designated a National Environmental Research Park.

 

The LBNF/DUNE Designer works in the Project engineering team in Lead, South Dakota, supporting the installation and construction efforts of the LBNF/DUNE Far Detector & Cryogenics subproject. Under general direction, this position has responsibility to support the integration and installation work for infrastructure, scientific detector equipment and cryogenic systems. The individual will develop and maintain the integrated 3D models from the stakeholders and develop 2D drawings as needed. They will also use their technical background to develop solutions for complex interfaces, plan for installation, create tooling designs and work with the team on the overall integration of the FDC subproject.

 

All work will be performed in a team atmosphere working with scientists, engineers and personnel from other universities, national Laboratories and countries. The individual will integrate safety and high-quality standards into their designs. They will also maintain the principles of diversity and respect for others in their work.

 

Under limited supervision, have overall responsibility in conjunction with others for the integration issues that cut across various subprojects as well as among different institutions to support the overall project planning and execution. It includes integration of processes across the project in the areas of:

  • 3D model management across multiple CAD platforms for LBNF/DUNE Far Detectors & Cryogenics subproject
  • Development and maintenance of a 2D drawings needed for stakeholders.
  • Configuration Management and Change Control processes.
  • Uses technical background to develop creative solutions for complex interfaces, installation, tooling designs and overall integration.
