classification.What Your Job Will Be LikeWe seek an experienced
engineer to lead the systems engineering (SE) team supporting
multi-institutional, large-scale, field-experiments. These
experiments support research aimed at enhancing our nations
capabilities for monitoring underground nuclear explosions anywhere
in the world. This role will offer opportunities to explore the
full systems engineering life-cycle and collaborate with large,
multi-disciplinary teams, and over time, take on project leadership
and project management roles.Over time, there may be opportunity to
work with cross-disciplinary teams to identify and conceptually

seismo-acoustic and infrasound modeling; evaluation of seismic and
infrasound sensors and systems; and the processing, analysis, and
interpretation of all types of geophysical data. Technical work
spans the spectrum from theoretical to applied and includes strong
modeling, lab and field data collection, and analysis capabilities.
The department serves as Sandia's resource for ground-based
monitoring expertise, partnering with departments across the labs
to integrate multiple types of data-including optical, seismic,
electromagnetic, infrasound, atmospheric, radionuclide-to address
broad national security needs.Posting DurationThis posting will be

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.by
