The opportunity exists for an R&D Systems Engineer to conduct surveillance on the Multiapplication Transportation Attachment Device (MTAD) as part of the Integrated Surety Architectures (ISA) program. Whereas realized nuclear weapon products are typically fielded and rarely used, the MTAD is regularly operating on transportation missions for enhanced over-the-road security. You will have the opportunity to assess MTAD mission performance, support working groups to evaluate the data, and support product reacceptance as part of monitoring state of health while ensuring continued fielding.

Your work will impact organizations across Sandia; you will interface with stockpile systems as well as transportation systems i.e. Safeguards Transporter (SGT). As ISA over-the-road missions continue to mature, the program is also establishing common data-management infrastructure, governance, tools, and analytical workflows to support mission surveillance and system assessment. You will serve as a key technical contributor and user of this evolving environment by identifying subsystem data needs, evaluating mission information, supporting data quality and context, and providing MTAD-specific expertise to the Mission Data Working Group.

You will be a critical technical team member supporting the development of the governance framework and data coordination across programs

• Analyze and assess MTAD performance, which will be included in the annual system state of health report
• Analyze trailer state changes and support the mission data working group
• Investigate and coordinate testing as appropriate related to MTAD and over-the-road anomalies
• Support team interactions with the Hub, Pantex, and/or stockpile system engineers on MTAD nonconformances and reacceptances for continued missions
• Support MTAD Production Agency Transition activities with Kansas City National Security Campus (KCNSC)
• Develop, implement, and coordinate testing as appropriate for ISA modules as part of annual SGT surveillance testing
• Assist in connecting requirements, configurations, mission observations, test evidence, anomalies, and analytical conclusions to improve technical traceability and support defensible engineering decisions
• Support the maturation of the ISA data management plan
• Develop technical documentation, presentations, reports, and assessment products for program leadership, working groups, annual assessment activities, and Nuclear Security Enterprise stakeholders
