About this position
Sandia National Laboratories is seeking a Postdoctoral Appointee to conduct experimental research in materials science, mechanical behavior, and reliable microelectronic packaging for harsh environments. The position is based onsite in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and supports research connected with the Center for Integrated Nanotechnology (CINT), a Department of Energy Office of Science Nanoscale Science Research Center operated jointly by Sandia National Laboratories and Los Alamos National Laboratory.
The primary project focuses on developing materials and novel microelectronic packaging solutions capable of surviving temperatures up to 200°C and repetitive shock or impact loading. The researcher will evaluate existing packaging approaches, design and develop new concepts, coordinate fabrication, use Sandia manufacturing resources such as the Center for Advanced Manufacturing Innovation and the Microsystems Engineering, Science, and Applications complex, and test candidate solutions in relevant environments. The work involves coordination with a large product-development team, communication of results at internal meetings and research conferences, and publication of high-quality technical articles.
The postdoctoral researcher will also contribute to a collaborative research program on the mechanical behavior of materials. Available research activities include micro- and nanomechanical testing, nanoindentation, micropillar compression, MEMS-based thin-film and microtensile testing, conventional mechanical testing, in situ microscale and nanoscale experiments, and high-throughput testing. Characterization capabilities include electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, chemical spectroscopies, electron backscatter diffraction, and x-ray diffraction.
The team brings together expertise in nanotechnology, materials science, microsystems, metallurgy, mechanical engineering, materials reliability, diagnostics, modeling, autonomous experimentation, and AI-accelerated materials discovery. The environment supports collaboration with materials-modeling and machine-learning specialists, as well as opportunities to develop new research pathways and interact with scientists across Sandia, Los Alamos, academia, industry, and government laboratories.
Funding details
The postdoctoral appointment is temporary for up to one year and may be renewed at Sandia's discretion for up to five additional years. The position offers competitive employment benefits, including vacation, medical benefits, 401(k) benefits, learning opportunities, relocation assistance for eligible hires, and work-life-balance amenities. No specific stipend or salary amount is stated.
What's required
PhD in a physical science or engineering discipline such as Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related field, conferred within five years before employment. Applicants must have documented experience with oral presentations and published communication, familiarity with microelectronic packaging strategies, and experience working on an engineering or scientific research team. Desired qualifications include experience developing packaging solutions; harsh-environment testing; product design and CAD such as SolidWorks; fabrication and testing coordination; mechanical testing; materials characterization; machine learning and data science; in situ electron microscopy; autonomous experimentation; Python or similar programming; additive manufacturing; thin-film processing; diffraction and defect analysis; constitutive modeling, finite-element analysis, or molecular dynamics; experimental design and execution; independent research and collaboration; and custom microscale testing. The selected applicant must be able to work onsite in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Pre-employment drug testing and background checks are required, and additional access and citizenship restrictions may apply because of the national-security work environment.
How to apply
Apply through the Sandia National Laboratories applicant portal using Job ID 699351. Submit the required application materials and supporting information through the online posting before it closes; the posting is open for at least three calendar days and may be extended.
