What Your Job Will Be Like:

We seek a self-motivated Postdoctoral Appointee to advance existing projects while advancing their career through peer-reviewed publications and presentations, as well as, internal and external interactions. Example of research areas pertinent to this job include: Heterogeneous Integration of Silicon and III-V microelectronics devices, advanced packaging, electrochemistry, process development and integration. A significant amount of coordination with other staff and technologists is required to deliver on research efforts. You will be expected to meet and coordinate with the teams designing, fabricating, characterizing, and measuring microelectronic devices. In this highly collaborative environment, excellent teaming and communications skills are a requirement for success.

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

  • Advance Sandia’s proficiency in heterogeneous integration and advanced packaging by performing research and developing novel approaches to current research challenges.
  • Microelectronics device design
  • Multiphysics modeling of novel devices.
  • Assist in the R&D of new microelectronic devices through electrical testing.
  • Interact with internal and external expertise on device design, fabrication, and testing.
  • Author peer-reviewed journal papers and present at relevant conferences.

Due to the nature of the work, the selected applicant must be able to work onsite.

Qualifications We Require:

  • PhD in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Applied Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related STEM field conferred within five (5) years prior to employment.
  • Undergraduate degree in a STEM field
  • Experience with or interest in microelectronics fabrication
  • Ability to acquire and maintain a DOE Q clearance

Qualifications We Desire:

  • Academic or professional experience in MEMS or other relevant microelectronics fields such as Advanced Packaging R&D for ICs, RF Microsystems, SiPhotonics, Compound Semiconductors, or Heterogeneous Integration
  • Ability to conceive and propose ideas for process improvement, troubleshooting, and new capability development
  • Interest in leading development efforts including cost, schedule, and device realization.
  • Proven interpersonal skills, including the ability to communicate, explain, and educate others
  • Strong interpersonal skills and eagerness to collaborate in a multi-disciplinary team environment

About Our Team:

The Heterogeneously-Integrated Sensor Microsystems & Failure Analysis department specializes in designing and realizing high-performance focal-plane arrays and sensor microsystems for a variety of customers and developing and implementing integrated-circuit (IC) failure analysis techniques. We have broad and deep expertise in IC analog and digital design, semiconductor physics, and device fabrication and integration. We also have expertise in IC failure analysis techniques needed to support integrated-circuit development for both internal and external foundries.

We are an accredited Department of Defense (DoD) Trusted Design Center. Our Category 1A Trusted Accreditation through the DoD Defense MicroElectronics Activity (DMEA) is for "Trusted Design" services for both unclassified and classified integrated circuits. We provide Trusted ASIC Design Services for both radiation-hardened and non-radiation-hardened Trusted Foundries (350nm, 180nm, 130nm, 90nm, 65nm, 45nm, 32nm and 14nm). We are also involved in microelectronics research and development for next generation microelectronics in support of both laboratory directed research and development (LDRD) and external sponsors. In addition to IC product development, the department works closely with our in-house radiation hardened CMOS technology group to maintain state-of-the-art radiation-hardened CMOS research, design, and production capability.

Posting Duration:

This posting will be open for application submissions for a minimum of seven (7) 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.

Position Information:

This postdoctoral position is a temporary position for up to one year, which may be renewed at Sandia's discretion up to five additional years. The PhD must have been conferred within five years prior to employment.

Individuals in postdoctoral positions may bid on regular Sandia positions as internal candidates, and in some cases may be converted to regular career positions during their term if warranted by ongoing operational needs, continuing availability of funds, and satisfactory job performance.
