The UNC group leading the LEGEND-0 National Science Foundation (NSF) project is seeking a mechanical design engineer. The LEGEND-0 NSF project is part of an international collaboration to build and commission a major fundamental science experiment underground at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS) located near L’Aquila, Italy. The UNC group’s design responsibilities relevant to this position are to design and procure the assembly fixturing and environmental control enclosures (gloveboxes) required to assemble the central detector array. In addition, responsibilities include working with the LEGEND-0 Project Engineer to archive and control revisions on the mechanical design of the experiment and to provide additional design support as needed. The candidate will also assist with generating cost and schedule estimates. The primary location of this position will be on the campus of UNC Chapel Hill. Some domestic and international travel will be required.

Primary duties include :

  • Design fixtures and environmental control enclosure for assembling the Ge detector array.
  • Collaborate with other subject matter experts to optimize the assembly process.
  • Maintain the CAD repository for the project.
  • Tracking cost and schedule and helping draft project reports.
  • Contribute to other aspects of design for the group to support related R&D and testing and verification efforts.

Minimum Education and Experience Requirements Relevant post-Baccalaureate degree required (or foreign degree equivalent); for candidates demonstrating comparable independent research productivity, will accept a relevant Bachelor’s degree (or foreign degree equivalent) and 3 or more years of relevant experience in substitution.
