    What You Will Do


    Join the best and brightest minds in the world at one of the most innovative and creative multidisciplinary research institutions engaged in strategic science on behalf of national security.

    The work we do at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) matters to our country and the world.

    The Actinide Materials Processing and Power Division (AMPP) groups work in a team environment within LANL's nuclear facility to process materials and manufacture products in support of Nuclear Deterrence

    AMPP-5 is the Power Supply Production group.


    We work for space and defense programs to process Pu-238 to make heat sources for instruments or generators that need long lasting and reliable power.


    Our group consists of three teams: the aqueous team which purifies fuel and processes waste for disposition, the fuel fabrication team which processes and manipulates powder fuels, and the welding team which encapsulates fuel into various containment vessels.

    Each team plays a vital role in the organization's overarching mission to support space exploration and national defense through Pu-238 science.

    Majority of daily production tasks in AMPP involves "hands on" glove box work.

    As a Process Engineer on the Welding team, you will be tasked with encapsulation of heat source plutonium.


    Your team utilizes automated gas tungsten arc welding and electron beam welding processes, performs decontamination activities to remove encapsulated plutonium from glovebox lines, and performs non-destructive assay inspections such as leak testing.
