Minimum Job Requirements

Department of Energy (DOE) Order 426.2A Requirements

• In addition to the above requirements, the applicant must also meet the requirements of DOE O 426.2A (i.e., Baccalaureate in engineering or related science, 2 years job-related and at least 1 year nuclear experience, or a DOE O 426.2A alternative).  DOE O 426.2A experience requirements can be satisfied following employment.  In the interim, newly hired personnel will not be assigned duties that could impact the safety basis of nuclear facilities.   (Ref. DOE O 426.2A)

Preferred Job Requirements

• High standards, excellent observation skills, strong written and oral communication, and strong interpersonal skills.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and SharePoint.
• Must meet DOE O 426.2 requirements (job‑related + nuclear experience; nuclear experience may be acquired post‑hire before starting safety‑basis duties).
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
• Experience in quality/process improvement methods, statistical analysis/metrics, engineering standards, measuring and test equipment, basic chemistry, and software Quality Assurance (QA) programs.
• Formal training/experience in NAP‑401.1A, NQA‑1, ISO‑9000, or similar quality standards.
• Experience conducting assessments, audits, and engineering design/procurement document reviews.
• Knowledge of DOE Orders and NNSA quality requirements.
• Tooling & tester‑specific experience (GD&T, machining, welding, electrical systems, ESD protection, VBA, Visio).
