Early Career Mechanical Engineer – Inertial Systems, Onsite
Sandia National Laboratories
is the nation’s premier science and engineering laboratory for national security and technology innovation. We develop cutting‑edge sensor and electronic subsystems for missile systems, air‑delivered applications, and ground navigation.
About the Department The Inertial Systems Department focuses on designing, integrating, and testing inertial sensor systems. Projects range from component‑level characterization to final delivery for customers, and involve multidisciplinary collaboration across electronics, software, and mechanical engineering.
Responsibilities
Mechanical and electronic hardware design, including radiation shielding and materials characterization.
Component integration and testing of accelerometers, gyroscopes, IMUs, and inertial subsystems.
Software development: MATLAB code for analysis, data‑acquisition and analysis applications, finite‑element analysis, and environmental modeling.
Documentation, review of datasheets and literature, preparation of analysis and presentation materials.
Team collaboration: prototype development, testing, and briefings to peers and customers.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent education and experience demonstrating independent research and development capabilities.
Ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Q clearance.
Desired Qualifications
Graduate degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field with an independent research project.
Strong verbal and written communication skills and experience working in multidisciplinary teams.
Experience with SolidWorks or CREO mechanical‑design software.
Experience with MATLAB, ANSYS, or similar modeling and analysis tools.
Experience with inertial sensors, magnetometers, and environmental testing (vibration, centrifugal, vacuum, radiation).
Familiarity with the Sandia Nuclear Weapon Product Realization Process.
Use of AI for design efficiency.
Salary Range $99,400 – $193,600. The final salary will be based on experience, qualifications, and geographic differentials.
Security Clearance Applicants must be able to obtain and maintain a DOE Q‑level security clearance, requiring U.S. citizenship.
