-
Support sensor qualification testing and documentation, including developing test plans, executing tests, and analyzing results.
-
Perform detailed analysis of environmental test data, including long-term sensor drift studies and reliability assessments.
-
Serve as the technical interface between design teams and production/manufacturing agencies to resolve design and production challenges.
-
Partner with Sandia engineers and external collaborators across the nuclear complex to ensure project success and compliance with standards.
The position requires an ability to travel up to 25% to support the mission.
