General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc.
Livermore, CA
General Atomics (GA), and its affiliated companies, is one of the world’s leading resources for high-technology systems development ranging from the nuclear fuel cycle to remotely piloted aircraft, airborne sensors, and advanced electric, electronic, wireless and laser technologies. We currently have an exciting opportunity for an experienced mid-career Mechanical Engineer to support development of disruptive technologies in partnership with the National Ignition Facility & Photon Science (NIF & PS) Directorate at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories (LLNL). This is a permanent position located in Livermore, CA, with significant travel to San Diego, CA. The Cryogenic System cools targets filled with hydrogen isotopes to the temperatures required to liquefy and/or solidify the gas. This device then locates targets at the focus of the NIF Laser’s 192 beams with an accuracy of a few microns. The combination of thermal and mechanical requirements, the...
