We are seeking a motivated scientist who will use radiography capabilities (i.e., digital radiography, computed tomography) to evaluate the internal structure and integrity of manufactured components. As part of the Sandia/California Radiography team, the selected candidate will support component design and process development, materials evaluation, failure analysis, product and process qualification, and other activities where radiography and other non-destructive analysis techniques are required.
On any given day, you may be called on to:
- Utilize radiographic imaging and analysis to answer critical questions about the engineered components important to our scientific and national defense missions
- Conduct innovative experiments using various techniques including digital radiography, computed tomography, x-ray fluorescence, and auger spectroscopy
- Develop fixtures for effective two- and three-dimensional radiography imaging using conventional and advanced manufacturing methods
- Process imaging data using various software including Volume Graphics
- Identify new research ideas and directions, collaborating with colleagues to write research proposals.
- Promote a safe working environment through analysis of hazards, development of controls & mitigations, and documentation of safety-focused operating procedures and best practices
- Present results at workshops, conferences, and meetings with sponsors
The Nuclear Deterrence Materials and Radiation Effects department is committed to attracting, retaining, and cultivating an outstanding workforce representing a broad group of people and perspectives. This hardworking team works together to accomplish extraordinary results. While this position requires expertise in Radiography, the job title will be R&D S&E, Materials Science.
