Ready to join the Sandia mission and work on real-world projects with national security impact?

Mission Tech, Sandia's Nuclear Deterrence and Science (ND&S) Mission Technologies student program, is seeking motivated mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science graduate students to join us for a year-round internship. With a technical focus in engineering design, component/subsystem development, and product testing, you will partner with ND&S teams to collaborate on real mission-related deliverables. You will use your foundational engineering skills in mechanical, electrical, and software design and analysis in an applied contribution to our nations security.

On any given day, you may be called on to:

• Develop and test advanced materials as part of component science, engineering and production and presenting the data and results of these tests to Sandia engineering teams
• Collaborate with design engineering and assurance engineering teams in the collection and analysis of data through observation and experimentation
• Support advanced system development through code refresh and full-stack programming.
• Assist in the testing and optimization of circuits, chips, and other high-reliability electronics using common engineering environment tools
• Support various aspects of telemetry development, including conceptual design, prototype development and testing, and transitioning of production work

At Sandia, we value the important work done by our interns and its contribution to National Security. Because of this, our interns earn competitive pay rates. Our pay structure is based on earned credit hours, classification, and degree level. Your pay rate will be determined during the hire process and included in your offer package.

Mission Tech is an internship program that serves the Nuclear Deterrence and Science (ND&S) mission at Sandia National Laboratories. Mission Tech comprises five mission centers:
1) System Modernization, Advanced Systems and Digital Engineering;
2) Design Engineering and Assurance;
3) Component Science, Engineering, and Production;
4) Stockpile Systems; and
5) Surety, Design Engineering, and Weapons Quality. Our projects span multiple disciplines across mission-critical work and crosscut across all of ND&S; projects include engineering design, product testing, component research and development, remote sensing, data analytics, and more.

Mission Tech interns are onboarded as an integrated part of their project teams and work collaboratively with experienced technical staff who are leaders and experts in their fields. All…
