Fermilab, Batavia, IL, United States
We Are:
Fermilab is America's premier laboratory for particle physics and accelerator research, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. We support discovery science experiments in Illinois and at locations around the world, including deep underground mines in South Dakota and Canada, mountaintops in Arizona and Chile, CERN in Europe and the South Pole.
We are strategic risk takers, innovators, and collaborators. We are engineers, scientists, technicians, administrative professionals. We are over 2,000 employees advancing knowledge for the benefit of humankind. Fermilab has been at the forefront of particle physics for more than 40 years. We build world-leading accelerators and detectors to conduct some of the most advanced particle physics experiments possible. We collect and analyze the data from those experiments with some of the most powerful computers in the world. We conduct this research on a 6,800-acre prairie, 35 miles outside Chicago, a treasure that has been designated a National Environmental Research Park.
Under general supervision, the Senior Design Drafter within the Particle Physics Directorate (PPD) prepares and electronically stores complex designs, details, assemblies, and schematics to satisfy design requirements for mechanical and electrical systems, utilizing Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and other job-related software applications, ensuring compliance and consistency to professional standards. Oversees assigned projects from inception through completion.
You Will:
This position does not offer relocation, sponsorship assistance, or referral bonus payment.
Physical Activity Requirements:
Human Factors: Heights, mental concentration, sitting and tight work schedule.
Physical Factors: Oxygen Deficiency Hazard
PPE: Foot protection
Fermilab is an Equal Opportunity Employer and believes a diverse and inclusive environment based on mutual respect is essential to our mission. Fermilab is committed to recruiting and developing the most hardworking people and does not discriminate in employment on the basis of race, ethnicity, color, religion, age, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, military/veteran status, country of birth, geography/postal code, disability, marital status, parental or gestational status, or other non-merit factor.
