We are seeking a Year-Round R&D Graduate Intern to join our dynamic team! The Scalable Computer Architectures R&D team is one of the leading hardware analysis and co-design groups in the United States. Our mission is to advance computing hardware for a range of Sandia's mission stakeholders, providing significant improvements in performance, cost, reliability and power consumption for a wide range of applications. Every day in our team is different because of rapid technological change in the industry. We work at the bleeding edge of hardware design to provide future directions for Sandia's computing users.

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

• Work in a team environment, partnering to build hardware component models in Sandia's Structural Simulation Toolkit (SST)
• Develop fault injection analysis capabilities for full systems
• Analyze application behavior in the presence of hardware faults

Sandia demonstrates its commitment to public safety in the national interest by requiring that all new hires be fully vaccinated or have an approved medical or religious accommodation before commencing employment. The requirement also applies to those who are telecommuting and working virtually.

Any concerns about the ability to meet this requirement should be directed to HR Solutions at (505) 284-4700.

• Earned bachelor's degree
• Currently attending and enrolled full time in an accredited science, engineering, or math graduate program
• Minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0/4.0
• Ability to work up to 30 hours per week during the academic year, and up to 40 hours per week during the summer
• U.S. citizenship

• Understanding of computer architecture and components of an embedded computer system elements (processor core, cache, memory, etc).
• Knowledge of fault injection methods for electronics.
• Experience with simulation tools for computer systems, in particular the Structural Simulation Toolkit (SST).
• Experience developing research questions and conducting self-driven research.
• Proficiency in C++

The Scalable Computer Architectures department leads responsibilities for specifying and developing future generations of high-performance computing systems to meet a broad cross-section of Sandia's national security missions. The team has three principal activities:

1. Advanced hardware optimization and codesign which includes development of best-of-class simulation and emulation technologies;
2. Advanced architecture testbeds and the Vanguard advanced system prototype projects which deploy first-of-a-kind hardware systems to evaluate the relevance and opportunity to Sandia stakeholders;
3. The application performance team which leads initial application porting and performance evaluation on next-generation computer systems.

The department is a source of collaboration and outreach with leading computing vendors and academics, and, collaborates with a broad spectrum of mission organizations to help develop leadership-class hardware solutions.

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 L-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 the DOE, resulting in the inability to perform the duties assigned and subsequent termination of employment.

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.
