What Your Job Will Be Like

We are seeking an experienced, collaborative team member for the Metallography Preparation and Analysis Laboratory (Metlab) for the role of R&D Laboratory Support Technologist. This laboratory, part of the Metallurgy & Welding Engineering organization, supports a variety of Sandia's missions by preparing a wide range of materials for examination, testing, and research, including optical imaging and analysis of features of interest. Materials evaluated include metals, semiconductors, polymers, ceramics, and other materials supporting Sandia's mission areas, including Nuclear Deterrence and other national security programs. The work in the Metlab directly enables material analyses critical to answering fundamental and applied science questions. As a Technologist in the Metlab, you will make crucial contributions in support of Sandia's research and development, failure analysis, and forensics-related activities.

Success in this role requires a strong technical foundation in metallography and metallurgy, the ability to think critically about material behavior and failure, and prior laboratory experience supporting sample preparation and analysis workflows. Applicants should have demonstrated hands-on experience with metallographic preparation, familiarity with laboratory support responsibilities, and the ability to work independently while maintaining a high standard of quality, safety, and organization. These items may include knowledge of ES&H documentation, lab maintenance tasks such as placing purchase orders, and activity scheduling and prioritization. All applicants should have a passion for problem solving, a strong attention to detail, and the ability to learn quickly.

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

Cut, mount, grind, polish, and chemically etch samples for optical and electron microscopy characterization
Conduct initial analyses to support material failure, fracture, fatigue, and wear root cause studies
Apply metallographic and metallurgical knowledge to select preparation approaches appropriate to a wide range of materials and microstructures
Collaborate with all lab team members to meet project milestones, prioritize high-impact projects, and ensure team success
Assist with customer communication, including project timeline expectations
Maintain equipment through coordination of manufacturer service visits
Assist with lab ownership tasks, such as maintenance of safety documentation, chemical handling, project scheduling, and related lab support duties
Occasional overtime to meet program requirements may be necessary

Due to the nature of the work, the selected applicant must be able to work on-site

Salary Range

$74,700 - $144,400

Salary range is estimated, and actual salary will be determined after consideration of the selected candidate's experience and qualifications, and application of any approved geographic salary differential.

Qualifications We Require

Bachelor's degree in materials science and engineering, metallurgical engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, or a closely related field, or equivalent relevant experience
Demonstrated experience in a laboratory or industrial setting performing metallographic sample preparation
Demonstrated knowledge of metallurgy and/or materials characterization principles sufficient to independently support metallography workflows
Able to acquire and maintain a DOE Q-level security clearance
Ability to work on-site

Qualifications We Desire

Substantial hands-on experience with metallographic preparation of ferrous and non-ferrous materials
Advanced knowledge of metallurgy, including microstructure-property relationships, phase identification, heat treatment effects, and/or failure mechanisms
Ability to independently develop or modify metallographic preparation approaches for challenging materials or geometries
Experience in optical microscopy, image capture, and microstructural documentation/interpretation
Experience supporting root cause analysis, failure analysis, fracture studies, or forensic materials work
Strong commitment to customer satisfaction and quality while maintaining a safe working environment
Experience working collaboratively toward a common goal in a team environment
Proven time management, documentation, and communication skills
Ability to demonstrate proficiency with activities requiring high precision manual dexterity and small-scale mechanical skills, i.e., fabrication, assembly, or specialty craftsmanship
Detail oriented with respect to work on high precision components
A genuine curiosity for science and a strong interest in continued technical learning

About Our Team

The Metallurgy and Welding Engineering Department is the principal organization for metallurgy research and development throughout Sandia. Our expertise covers a broad range of experimental and predictive capabilities that apply fundamental process as well as applied physical and mechanical metallurgy principles. Specific technical areas include laser welding, failure analysis, mechanical testing, physical metallurgy, and others. Our scientific focus is on materials structures, properties, performance and reliability. We support an extensive variety of national security programs and we are highly engaged in providing collaborative, innovative materials science and systems-based engineering solutions.

Posting Duration

This posting will be open for application submissions for a minimum of three (3) 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.
