What Your Job Will Be Like:

Our department is seeking electrical engineers (R&D Electronic Engineer) to join multidisciplinary teams that are designing and developing advanced electronic systems. Qualified engineers will be asked to employ state-of-the-art technology to develop a variety of high-reliability electronic subsystems. Skills important to our design and development work in these areas include embedded-system design skills with experience in FPGA and/or microcontroller design, analog- and digital-circuit design, RF communications, DSP, or power supply design.

On any given day, you may be called on to:

• Create the system design
• Implement design methodology
• Build the prototype
• Ground-test the system
• Support the actual full-up system test

Successful candidates will have opportunities to grow and mature into significant responsibility.

Due to the nature of the work, the selected applicant must be able to work onsite.

Qualifications We Require:

• Bachelor's degree in an electrical engineering or equivalent must be conferred prior to start date or equivalent combination of education and experience
• Experience in digital or analog design and or FPGA/ASIC design
• Experience with PWA layout tools
• Ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Q level clearance

Qualifications We Desire:

• Master's degree in electrical engineering or equivalent
• FPGA design or verification experience
• Embedded System Design experience
• Analog Circuit Design experience

About Our Team:

Department 8421 designs, tests, and deploys advanced electronic systems for various national security applications. The department has a broad mix of skills and technical resources in areas such as digital communications, sensors, radio frequency (RF)/microwave, field-programmable gate array (FPGA) design, power supply technology, general electronics-circuit design, digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms and coding, mechanical design and analysis, and systems engineering.

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.
