About Our Team:

Envisioning your future as a Sandian

Sandia has embarked on accelerated product realization to drive transformational practices that reduce the time from program conception to full-rate production and is adding agility into the system so Sandia can continue to adapt quickly while still ensuring quality. Digital Engineering in an integrated digital approach that uses system data and models as a continuum across disciples to support lifecycle activities from concept through disposal. This is an exciting approach to engineering that takes full advantage of the digital integration of engineering analysis, experimental data, knowledge, and experience across the enterprise. Assuring we have better requirements traceability, efficient design of components and systems, improved quality (by catching defects early), reduced costs, and shortened product realization timelines. Enabling greater efficiency in current methods and disruptive improvements leading to new methods, allowing efficiency gains and transformative improvements. This is a critical element to our nation’s nuclear deterrence strategy.

JOIN OUR DEDICATED TEAM

Working on the Digital Engineering Ecosystem, you’ll be part of an outstanding team that takes its national security mission to heart, helping make decisions that lay the foundation for a high-visibility, high-impact work transforming systems engineering practices through model-based technologies.

This is an extraordinary unique opportunity at Sandia unlike any other place to gain experience for a national and international priority. Why not join us? We want you to be a part of our innovative and collaborative team and make an impact on the nation and the world! We are seeking a highly motivated Systems Engineer team member. This is a rare opportunity to mold the design process from concept to delivery with a new program. This is an amazing opportunity to grow your career in all areas of system engineering by working on a variety of projects and tasks to align with your interests and specializations. This position is located at our Albuquerque, NM location.

Posting Duration:

This posting will be open for application submissions for a minimum of seven (7) calendar days, including the ‘posting date’. Sandia reserves the right to extend the posting date at any time.

Security Clearance:

Sandia is required by DOE to conduct a pre-employment drug test and background review that includes checks of personal references, credit, law enforcement records, and employment/education verifications. Applicants for employment need to be able to obtain and maintain a DOE Q-level security clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship. If you hold more than one citizenship (i.e., of the U.S. and another country), your ability to obtain a security clearance may be impacted.

Applicants offered employment with Sandia are subject to a federal background investigation to meet the requirements for access to classified information or matter if the duties of the position require a DOE security clearance. Substance abuse or illegal drug use, falsification of information, criminal activity, serious misconduct or other indicators of untrustworthiness can cause a clearance to be denied or terminated by DOE, resulting in the inability to perform the duties assigned and subsequent termination of employment.

EEO:

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status and any other protected class under state or federal law.

NNSA Requirements for MedPEDs:

If you have a Medical Portable Electronic Device (MedPED), such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, drug-releasing pump, hearing aids, or diagnostic equipment and other equipment for measuring, monitoring, and recording body functions such as heartbeat and brain waves, if employed by Sandia National Laboratories you may be required to comply with NNSA security requirements for MedPEDs.

If you have a MedPED and you are selected for an on-site interview at Sandia National Laboratories, there may be additional steps necessary to ensure compliance with NNSA security requirements prior to the interview date.
