About Our Team:

JOIN OUR DEDICATED TEAM

The Future Fuzing Department, is the Nation's premier Advanced and Exploratory (A&E) design team for Nuclear Weapon (NW) Fuzes, which includes advanced radar/inertial sensors, weapon controllers, and communication bus architectures. We are responsible for generating new modular fuze concepts, designs, prototypes, tests, and analyses for next generation NW systems. Our technical scope includes RFIC design to fab, digital communications architectures, model-based system engineering, and integration of flight test modules. The department teams extensively with other Sandia organizations and we support National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), Navy, and Air Force customers.

We offer R&D in design and development of Future Fuzing systems from the RF component level circuit design to Radar-Inertial system level design and analysis. The department is not only responsible for future Radar system level design but the development of other sensor technology such as Inertial Measurement Units (IMU), and other fuzing modalities as required. The Department also provides ongoing support to current Life Extension Programs of Record (W88 ALT370, Mk21 AFA, B61-12) through close partnership with our sister Department, Radar Fuzing.

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.

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.
