Working/Functional Title

Mechanical Design Engineer I

Position Summary

Michigan State University (MSU) operates the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) as a user facility for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (DOESC) supporting the mission of the DOESC Office of Nuclear Physics. FRIB provides researchers with one of the most advanced tools of modern science to study rare isotopes or shortlived nuclei not normally found on Earth. Hosting what is designed to be the most powerful heavyion accelerator FRIB enables scientists to make discoveries about the properties of rare isotopes nuclear astrophysics fundamental interactions and applications for society including in medicine homeland security and industry. User facility operation is supported by the DOESC Office of Nuclear Physics as one of 28 DOESC user facilities. MSUs nuclear physics graduate program is a topranked program nationally according to U.S. News & World Report.

This position affords an exciting opportunity to become part of the worldclass FRIB Laboratory that enables unique discovery opportunities in nuclear science.
