Sandia National Laboratories offers state-of-the-art capability in the design and development of Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) Systems, from system design through system integration to data collection and analysis. As a multidisciplinary laboratory, Sandia applies world-class expertise, such as high performance computer processing, semiconductor device physics, mechanical stress analysis, flight dynamics, motion measurement, etc, to the difficult problems Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Ground Moving Target Indication (GMTI) systems may present.

Department 5348, ISR Real-Time Processing, develops and delivers highly advanced digital hardware and software solutions to meet the demands of embedded processing for advanced radar (SAR/GMTI) and other advanced RF system development activities. Software development capabilities include: object-oriented analysis and design, operating system development, configuration and setup, quality attribute driven design, model-driven development, component-based development in support of a software product line, automated testing, low-level driver software for COTS and custom hardware, real-time embedded software, concurrent software for multi-core processors and GPUs, and GUI software.

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.

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.
