Form of workWhat You Will Do
Do you want to be part of an energetic, high performing team whose primary mission is to independently verify and certify nuclear weapon and other manufactured products meet or exceed requirements? The Weapons Production Directorate at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is responsible for Quality Production of nuclear weapon components as well as other products. Quality Product Verifiers are a vital part of the Production Agency Quality Division's mission to ensures that all products meet or exceed technical, quality, and Customer requirements.
As a Quality Product Verifier you will independently evaluate final products, production data, and quality evidence to verify final products meet design and quality requirements. The evaluation is achieved by a detailed and thorough compare and contrast approach between production-related data and quality evidence versus product drawings/specifications as well as other codified quality and business requirements. Upon successful evaluation, Quality Product Verifiers certify (on behalf of LANL) through completion of a formal certificate that products meet all applicable requirements. Quality Product Verifiers also present the product and its associated data on behalf of LANL to Customers for their inspection and verification while serving as the liaison between LANL and the Customer. Quality Product Verifiers also perform delegated verification inspections and product stamping activities on behalf of The United States of America Department of Energy (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA).
Quality Product Verifiers perform evaluations on various final products such as plutonium pits, high explosive detonator cable assemblies, radioisotope thermoelectric generators, and other components / subassemblies. The technical requirements associated with these final products are primarily dimensional and functional performance requirements. However, there are other requirements such as chemistry, metallurgy, pre-test conditioning, and specialized analyses.
