Early Career R&D RF Subsystem Engineer- Radar Fuzing, Onsite
or drop it. Posting Duration is minor metadata; we could drop it or put in a short
. Probably drop it. We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to those headings.
We have:
- About Sandia: description of lab, benefits, flexible work arrangements, etc. This could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is generic; but we have "About Sandia" which is about the organization. Could treat as "About the role"? Not exactly. Maybe we can use "About the role" for description of job? But we have separate "What Your Job Will Be Like" which describes responsibilities. So "About the role" could be about the position overall? However the instruction says use those headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those exact headings where appropriate.
Thus we need sections:
- About the role: maybe a brief summary of the position (maybe combine "What Your Job Will Be Like" first paragraph? Actually "What Your Job Will Be Like" includes design & development etc. That's responsibilities. So "About the role" could be a short overview: "Design microwave PWBs and PWAs for transmitters and receivers..." Might be better to put that under Responsibilities.
- Responsibilities: list of duties: Design & Development, Collaboration & Coordination, Testing & Validation, Technical Leadership, Cross-Disciplinary Work, plus occasional travel, onsite work, relocation assistance.
- Requirements: maybe "Qualifications We Require": Bachelor's degree, ability to attain/maintain DOE Q clearance.
- Qualifications: maybe "Qualifications We Desire": graduate degree, lab skills, knowledge, ability to work in team, experience with radiation-hardened electronics, proficiency with tools, familiarity with test equipment, design for manufacturing, collaboration, active Q clearance.
- Skills: could list specific skills: RF/microwave design, simulation tools (HFSS, ADS, CST), test development software (Python, MATLAB/Simulink, NI LabView, NI TestStand), test equipment (network analyzer, spectrum analyzer), etc.
- Benefits: from "What We Offer": Meaningful Impact, Innovative Environment, Professional Growth, Collaborative Culture, Work-Life Balance, Competitive Compensation, Security Clearance (maybe not a benefit). Also flexible work arrangements, generous vacation, strong medical benefits, competitive 401k, learning opportunities, relocation assistance.
- Pay: Salary Range $102,400 - $199,700.
- Schedule: maybe flexible work arrangements: 9/80, 4/10 compressed workweeks, part-time, telecommuting. Also mention onsite work required.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, NNSA MedPEDs, Security Clearance details? Security clearance is part of qualifications (requirement). The detailed security clearance paragraph about drug test, background, etc is legal boilerplate; we should remove that. Keep only the requirement: ability to attain and maintain a DOE Q security clearance, US citizenship. The rest is boilerplate.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like specific tools, specific programs (B61-12 LEP, W88 Alt 370, Mk21 AFA, W93), etc.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
Let's structure:
About the role
Design microwave Printed Wiring Boards (PWBs) and Assemblies (PWAs) for transmitters and receivers, incorporating custom integrated circuits. Provide feedback on lower-level assembly designs such as integrated circuits. Work closely with radar engineering teams and production agencies to ensure designs meet requirements and resolve issues throughout development and production. Conduct laboratory testing of RF transmitters and receivers. Support development of test requirements and acceptance testing protocols. Provide technical consultation, present at design reviews, and develop design documentation. Collaborate with multi-disciplinary engineering teams to make technical decisions and guide technology maturation. This position requires onsite work in Albuquerque, NM, with relocation assistance available for qualified candidates. Occasional travel (up to 25%) supports collaboration with production and partner teams.
That covers responsibilities. But we also have a separate "What Your Job Will Be Like" earlier with similar content; we already captured. Now Responsibilities section maybe we could split into bullet list? The instruction: Use- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert duties into list.
Thus under Responsibilities we can have
- Design microwave PWBs and PWAs for transmitters and receivers, incorporating custom integrated circuits. ... etc. Similarly for Requirements (Qualifications We Require) we can list. Qualifications We Desire also list. Skills maybe list of specific skills/tools. Benefits list. Pay: maybe
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, we should convert duties to list. However we already have duties in paragraph; we could still keep paragraph but also list? The instruction says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. If we have a list, we must use ul/li. If we have prose, we can use p. It's not mandatory to list; but if we have a list we should use ul/li. We have a list of duties; better to use ul/li.
Thus we can have:
Responsibilities
- Design microwave Printed Wiring Boards (PWBs) and Assemblies (PWAs) for transmitters and receivers, incorporating custom integrated circuits.
- Provide feedback on lower‑level assembly designs such as integrated circuits.
- Work closely with radar engineering teams and production agencies to ensure designs meet requirements and resolve issues throughout development and production.
- Conduct laboratory testing of RF transmitters and receivers.
- Support development of test requirements and acceptance testing protocols.
- Provide technical consultation, present at design reviews, and develop design documentation.
- Collaborate with multi‑disciplinary engineering teams to make technical decisions and guide technology maturation.
- Occasional travel (up to 25%) to support collaboration with production and partner teams.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline, or an equivalent combination of directly relevant education and engineering or scientific experience that demonstrates the knowledge, skills, and ability to perform independent research and development.
- Ability to attain and maintain a DOE Q security clearance (U.S. citizenship required).
Qualifications
- Graduate degree in Electrical Engineering or a highly related field where an independent research project was a graduation requirement (e.g., independent project, thesis, or dissertation).
- Laboratory skills and knowledge of RF and digital test equipment.
- Knowledge of RF, Digital Communications, Electronic Warfare, and Cyber Security systems and principles.

- Proficiency with RF/microwave design and simulation tools (HFSS, ADS, CST, etc).
- Familiarity with test development and data processing software such as Python, MATLAB/Simulink, NI LabView, NI TestStand, etc.
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. If we have a list, we must use ul/li. If we have prose, we can use p. It's not mandatory to list; but if we have a list we should use ul/li. We have a list of duties; better to use ul/li.
Thus we can have:
Salary range: $102,400 - $199,700.
Schedule: maybeFlexible work schedules including 9/80 and 4/10 compressed workweeks, part‑time, and telecommuting options; onsite work required in Albuquerque, NM.
We also have About Sandia intro about lab benefits etc. Could be part of About the role? Or maybe we could have a section "About Sandia" but not in allowed headings. The instruction says usefor section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect us to use those headings only. So we should not add "About Sandia" heading. Instead we can incorporate that info into About the role or Benefits? The About Sandia includes description of lab, flexible work arrangements, benefits, etc. Some of that is already covered in Benefits and Schedule. The description of lab being premier etc could be omitted? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include that info somewhere. Could add a brief paragraph under About the role about Sandia being premier lab etc. That seems okay. Thus About the role could include both overview of Sandia and role description. Let's craft:
About the role
Sandia National Laboratories is the nation’s premier science and engineering lab for national security and technology innovation, with teams of specialists focused on cutting‑edge work in a broad array of areas. The laboratory offers challenging work with amazing impact, extraordinary co‑workers, best‑in‑class tools and facilities, career advancement, flexible work arrangements (including 9/80 and 4/10 compressed workweeks, part‑time, and telecommuting), generous vacation, strong medical and other benefits, competitive 401k, learning opportunities, relocation assistance, and a focus on work/life balance.
In this position you will design microwave Printed Wiring Boards (PWBs) and Assemblies (PWAs) for transmitters and receivers, incorporating custom integrated circuits; provide feedback on lower‑level assembly designs such as integrated circuits; work closely with radar engineering teams and production agencies to ensure designs meet requirements and resolve issues throughout development and production; conduct laboratory testing of RF transmitters and receivers; support development of test requirements and acceptance testing protocols; provide technical consultation, present at design reviews, and develop design documentation; collaborate with multi‑disciplinary engineering teams to make technical decisions and guide technology maturation. The role requires onsite work in Albuquerque, NM, with relocation assistance available for qualified candidates, and occasional travel (up to 25%) to support collaboration with production and partner teams.
That seems to capture both. Now Responsibilities: maybe we can keep as list but we already described duties in paragraph. To follow instruction to use
