classification.What Your Job Will Be LikeWe are seeking an R&D
Systems Engineer to support a role within a multi-institutional
leadership team responsible for the successful execution of
large-scale, field-experiments. These experiments support a
research program incorporating field, laboratory, and modeling
studies aimed at enhancing our nation's 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,
multi-institution teams, and over time, take on project leadership
and project management roles.On Any Given Day:Support the technical
development of scientific objectives, experiment requirements,
interface documents, and verification plans.Partner with domain
experts throughout the DOE complex, including both scientists and
engineers.Work to develop, maintain, and communicate a technical
baseline for the experiments.Apply systems engineering principles
to fit the risks and needs of this experiment.Over time, your
systems engineering work will expand to include work with
cross-disciplinary teams to identify and conceptually develop new
technical work within this Sandia mission program area. This may be
accomplished through participation and partnerships in future
proposal calls. These responsibilities will include increasing both
Sandia's and your own impact and standing in these programs by
producing high-quality results, and perform your work according to
Sandia values.Due to the nature of the work, the selected applicant

detection through next-generation algorithms exploiting
multi-phenomenological data, advanced sensor technologies, and
demonstration experiments.We have a broad range of expertise in
field seismology, subsurface characterization, 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 open for

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.
