R&D Mechanical Engineer - Albuquerque, United States - Sandia National Laboratories
Description
About Sandia:Sandia National Laboratories is the nation's premier science and engineering lab for national security and technology innovation, with teams of specialists focused on cutting-edge work in a broad array of areas. Some of the main reasons we love our jobs:
What Your Job Will Be Like:
We are seeking an R&D Mechanical Engineer/Space Systems to join our Product Engineering team. Our team provides the competencies necessary for harnessing and developing the world's best technologies, practices, and suppliers for realizing advanced remote sensing systems. Join us to develop creative solutions to unique national security challenges
This position will focus on mechanical design for an optical based system and requires understanding of the product realization process for space-based hardware. This includes fabrication and assembly, interpreting and translating mechanical/optical concepts into opto-mechanical designs and fabricated hardware, and documentation. In this role, you will have the opportunity to become involved in a high visibility program area that manages the full range of remote sensing space system payloads and ground system software. Improved design, development, realization, and quality are all major thrusts of our program.
On any given day, you may be called on to:
The Product Engineering Group consists of electrical, mechanical, and material component engineering staff and technologists. We interface with many organizations and facilitate the design, qualification, and production of the next generation of satellite system payloads.
The RSS Group leads and implements the design, fabrication, integration, testing, and delivery of the Global Burst Detection (GBD) Program Satellite Payloads. We provide a broad competency base of needed skill sets for the development of advanced satellite payloads, nuclear deterrence (ND) support needs, and other work for others (WFO) programs. We can use our unique capabilities and team with others to provide end-to-end program needs. Embedded within the group are strengths in mechanical engineering, analog/digital design, embedded electronic design, software design, electronic fabrication and testing, optical science and design, power systems, test and integration utilizing space environmental for space-based systems.
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.
