I. Position Summary:

A. What do SEA's do?

The nature of the S&EA role can vary widely from day to day and also between associates based on where your assigned area is within LCLS. Areas are divided into LCLS Instruments (Outdated Revisions: AMO is now TMO, SXR is now TXI - under install, and a new hutch exists on the upper level RIX - under install). Typically, an SEA is assigned two areas to support.

At the time of the writing, there are two general modes of support you may be providing under the Operations or Installation support roles. In either case, you may be responsible for the following examples below. As an S&EA, you will be both leading a team (~2-5 individuals) in these tasks or accomplishing them yourself (no worries if you have never done any/none of these tasks, there will always be someone there to teach!):

• Mechanical installations
  • assembly of 8020 component frames

B. Typical Hours

Working hours is extremely dependent on the job tasks you have at hand. We are a 24/7 facility that also appreciates a work/life balance.

Currently, it is a zoom meeting with the main goal to ensure that work meets the require COVID safe (& general safety) conditions and space conflicts are avoided.
