Your Job Will Be LikeThe Radiation Effects Experimentation
Department is seeking a dynamic scientist to conduct innovative
research and analysis of radiation induced effects in materials,
electronics, and surrogate test articles! This position will
concentrate on radiation effects physics, modeling, and the design
of radiation hardened electronic systems. Our experiments may range
from fundamental investigations into radiation effects in
groundbreaking technologies to the response of components at higher
levels of product integration to meet technical and programmatic
objectives for a variety of customers. You may also be responsible
for leading and conducting radiation qualification tests and
analyses associated with Sandia's national security mission. You
will work in a collaborative environment with a diverse team and
have access to some of the world's most powerful pulsed radiation
generating facilities with state-of-the art diagnostics and
equipment!On any given day, you may be called on to:Create
innovative and complex solutions for the future through discovery
physics and the development of new capabilities such as
qualification methodologies, experimental platforms, and
environmental diagnostics.Propose, design, and execute experiments
at state-of-the-art radiation test facilities such as HERMES,
Saturn, Z, ACRR, NIF, WSMR FBR, IBL, and others.Team with other
specialists to analyze results and present new insights,
observations, or qualification evidence.Summarize findings in
internal reports and as appropriate, publish results in journal
articles and present at conferences.Some travel will be required
for test campaigns, project meetings, and conferences.Join our team
and achieve your dreams!Qualifications We RequirePhD degree in
Electrical or Electronics Engineering, Physics, Nuclear Engineering
or a related fieldA strong record of scientific and/or technical
achievements through publication, as evidenced by peer-reviewed
journals and external presentations at appropriate scientific
conferencesAbility to obtain and maintain a DOE Q
clearanceQualifications We DesireFamiliarity with radiation
producing facilities within and outside of Sandia and conducting
experiments at those facilities (e.G., X-ray, gamma-ray, neutron,
and ion)Knowledge of radiation effects on electronicsExperience
developing research ideas, establishing collaborations, organizing
research teams, and/or reporting progressExperience leading or
working with interdisciplinary teamsAbout Our TeamThe main purpose
of the Radiation Effects Experimentation Department is to assure
and verify the capability of the nation's nuclear stockpile to
survive and operate through radiation and electromagnetic
environments. These activities range from fundamental radiation
effects research to qualifying the performance of electronic piece
parts, subsystems, and systems to natural space-based and/or
man-made radiation environments (e.G., environment produced by
nuclear detonations). We accomplish our mission by performing basic
and applied radiation effects research on materials and electronics
using state-of-the-art photon, ion, neutron, electron, and laser
sources located at Sandia National Laboratories and other
laboratories throughout the United States. We also develop critical
radiation, electrical, and plasma diagnostics to characterize our
test environments as well as perform simulations to investigate the
radiation response of electronics and other test objects. An
important activity in the Department is the design, measurement,
analysis, and simulation of response data on surrogate test
articles for the purpose of validating Advanced Scientific
Computing (ASC) computer codes that are (or will be) used to
qualify future weapon and satellite electronic systems to various
pulsed radiation environments and effects. Department personnel
also provide guidance to electronic designers to assure proper
design techniques related to mitigating the deleterious effects of
radiation and qualification assessments of nuclear weapon hardware
to each of Sandia's production groups. This team is part of the
Radiation, Electrical and High Energy Density (REHEDS) Research
Foundation at Sandia.About SandiaSandia National Laboratories is
