Princeton, New Jersey, United States Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory Full time
Position Overview:

The Safety Systems Engineering Specialist will deliver technical support for the design, maintenance, operation, and repair of safety and operational systems at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL).

PPPL, a distinguished U.S. Department of Energy National Laboratory operated by Princeton University, has been at the forefront of fusion energy research, a sustainable and virtually inexhaustible energy source. In alignment with national objectives, PPPL is expanding its focus beyond fusion energy to include areas such as microelectronics, quantum information science, and sustainability science. Every team member at PPPL has the opportunity to contribute to our mission through various roles in science, engineering, technology, or professional services. We value diversity and inclusivity, believing that each individual enriches our scientific endeavors in unique ways.

Key Responsibilities:

Functional Safety Engineering (70%):

  • Establish and supervise maintenance, testing, and repair protocols for operational and safety systems. Create procedures, specifications, drawings, and training materials to guarantee safe and reliable operations throughout the systems' life cycle.
  • Manage operator training, operations, and troubleshooting for safety and interlock systems, including safety-class PLC-based access control, fixed gas detection monitoring, and various safeguards supporting experimental plasma research.
  • Ensure that all technical documents related to the systems are precise and up-to-date, adhering to stringent management of change and configuration management processes.
  • This role will primarily support the National Spherical Torus eXperiment Upgrade (NSTX-U) systems, with additional support for smaller experiments at PPPL.

Engineering Operations Support (30%):

  • The incumbent will be expected to prepare for operational roles such as Chief Operating Engineer and Shift Supervisor.
  • Coordinate the startup, routine operation, and shutdown of unique high-power pressure, vacuum, and electrical systems.
  • Oversee the operation of the NSTX-U device, including the initiation of each operational pulse.
  • Ensure that operations remain within the safety parameters established for the facility.
  • Respond to fault conditions during NSTX-U operations and maintain safety envelopes.
  • Facilitate effective communication among the operational team.
Qualifications:

Education and Experience:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical, or a related engineering discipline is required.
  • A minimum of 8 years of experience in an industrial, military, or national laboratory research environment is preferred.
  • At least 5 years of experience in functional or machinery safety engineering is required.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:

  • Proven ability to collaborate with a diverse range of individuals, from maintenance teams to research partners.
  • Familiarity with Lock-Out/Tag-Out (LOTO) procedures and electrical safety standards is desirable.
  • Competence in applying functional safety standards such as IEC 61508/61511.
  • Experience with radiological safety measures, including nuclear shielding, is advantageous.
  • Proficiency in preparing technical documentation, including operational, maintenance, and installation procedures, is preferred.
  • Ability to effectively engage with a broad spectrum of scientific and technical personnel.

Certifications and Licenses:

Industry certification demonstrating competency in functional or machinery safety engineering is preferred:

  • Exida Functional Safety Professional (FSP), Certified Functional Safety Professional (CFSP), or Certified Functional Safety Expert (CFSE).
  • UV FS Engineer.
  • B11 Licenses Machinery Safety Specialist (LMSS).

Physical Requirements:

  • Full or corrected vision, depth and color perception, and the ability to perform occasional close work in low light conditions.
  • Capability to frequently lift and/or move up to 25 pounds and occasionally lift and/or move up to 50 pounds.
  • Full mechanical dexterity and coordination in hands, arms, and legs.
  • Ability to work near static magnetic fields without medical restrictions.
  • Willingness to climb ladders and engage in continuous walking, standing, or sitting.
  • Comfortable working in environments with typical industrial hazards.
  • Required to wear protective clothing and equipment, including hard hats and safety glasses.

Working Conditions:

  • Most tasks will be conducted at PPPL facilities, with potential vendor visits for ongoing projects.
  • Work is typically during the first shift, with possible second shift duties based on facility needs.
  • May require occasional off-hours response to emergencies or alarms.
  • Involves working in confined spaces and utilizing fall protection and other job-specific PPE.
