Cleared Experienced R&D Systems Engineer - ISA MGT Integration Lead, Onsite

About the role

The opportunity exists for an experienced R&D Systems Engineer to lead Integrated Surety Architectures (ISA) integration activities with the high visibility Mobile Guardian Transporter (MGT) system. The MGT program was well into its design by the time ISA was designated as a program of record for MGT. The ISA-MGT integration lead will need to navigate the complexities and challenges of a late program addition, partnering across multiple Centers with management, chief engineers, as well as with our NA-12 and NA-15 customers on issues such as reliability allocations and upstream Safeguards Transporter (SGT) ISA reuse hardware changes, all while keeping the ISA aspects of the MGT program on track. Moreover, qualification testing activities, ISA hardware integration challenges specific to MGT, and Concept of Operations will need to be addressed and coordinated. The lead will be the primary driver for successful ISA integration with the MGT program.

The Special Projects department was established to focus on the successful deployment of Integrated Surety Architectures (ISA) applications for reentry body and air delivered systems into the transportation safeguards system embodied by the Safeguards Transporter (SGT). The organization serves as the ISA project integration office at Sandia to the NNSA enterprise for over the road (OTR) applications. Currently, there are two major ISA efforts underway at SNL for ALT 940 and the Multi-application Transportation Attachment Device (MTAD) for air delivered systems. As such, the organization interacts extensively with the NW development and stockpile systems capabilities within the laboratory in addition to the transportation safeguards program.

Responsibilities

• Evaluate all aspects of the MGT system (mechanical, electrical, concept of operations, weight, power, budget, manufacturability, testing, reliability, and qualification)
