• Improve reactor functionality through methodical, first-principle based problem solving
• Develop and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs) and inventory records for reactor components and assemblies
• Write and revise work instructions and assembly procedures to support repeatable, efficient builds
• Support engineering change processes by ensuring documentation packages are accurate, complete, and revision-controlled
• Collaborate with engineering and technician teams to verify documentation reflects as-built system configurations
• Organize and maintain structured documentation packages for released and in-development reactor systems
• Clearly communicate progress and findings in both written and verbal form

Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in an engineering degree program (Mechanical, Aerospace, or related field); no degree required
• Completion of relevant coursework in engineering fundamentals, CAD, or technical drawing
• Basic familiarity with SolidWorks or similar 3D CAD software
• Attention to detail and commitment to producing accurate, organized technical documentation
• Strong work ethic with a desire to learn in a fast-paced engineering environment
• Good written and verbal communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to GD&T principles or ANSI/ASME Y14.5 drawing standards
• Experience reading or creating P&IDs, BOMs, or engineering work instructions
• Familiarity with document control or PLM/PDM systems
• Hands-on lab or shop experience (fabrication, assembly, or testing)

Physical Requirements

• Must be able to sit, stand and use a computer for extended periods of time
• Must be able to lift 50 lbs
