• electrical characterization of nanostructures
• low-noise high-bandwidth electronics setup including programming for data collection, and cryogenics and cryogenic circuitry
• data analysis

About Our Team:

The Multiscale Fabrication Science & Technology Development department conducts cutting edge experimental solid-state device research at the nanometer and atomic scales, as well as in the quantum mechanical regime, to develop technologies with novel capabilities and performance. Core capabilities of the department include solid-state device micro- and nano-fabrication, electrochemically deposited materials and electrochemistry, low temperature measurement, quantum coherent control and measurement, and quantum information science and technology. The department leverages strong relationships with the Microsystems Engineering, Science and Applications (MESA) facility, the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT), and the Center for Computing Research.

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.
