Job Description

Sandia National Laboratories is the nation's premier science and engineering lab for national security and technology innovation with major facilities in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Livermore, California. We are a world-class team of scientists, engineers, technologists, post docs, and visiting researchers all focused on cutting-edge technology, ranging from homeland defense, global security, biotechnology, and environmental preservation to energy and combustion research, computer security, and nuclear defense. To learn more, please visit our website at www.sandia.gov.

Sandia National Laboratories is searching for a Semiconductor Device Modeling Software Developer to join the Electrical Models and Simulation Department technical staff located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The candidate selected for this position will be required to have the ability to obtain and maintain a DOE-granted “Q-level” security clearance, which requires U.S. Citizenship.

Department Description
Electrical Models and Simulation Department supports electrical circuit and device simulation through the development of customized modeling & simulation tools for electronic design, analysis and qualification. The application platforms developed within our department are built on state-of-the-art research in algorithms & physics resulting in accurate, validated models. These high-fidelity simulation capabilities are integrated into a QMU-framework to support design variability sensitivity and uncertainty throughout the design, analysis, and qualification cycle.

Career Summary
We have an immediate technical staff opening for a Semiconductor Device Modeling Software Developer with expertise in scientific programming for high performance computing. The position emphasizes algorithm design and enhancement to extend the capabilities and increase the efficiency of our large scale, parallel, drift-diffusion solver, which is a C++/object oriented program. The successful candidate will be part of a team of computational scientists and semiconductor device physicists. Additionally, the position requires extensive interaction with experimental and theoretical physicists and research engineers working on characterizing radiation effects in microelectronic devices and the resulting changes to circuit performance.

The responsibilities of this position include but are not limited to the following: Applies integrated technical judgment--which requires using the scientific method to recognize and formulate problems, to collect data through observation and experimentation, and to formulate and test hypotheses--to anticipate, innovate, and deliver solutions to Sandia National Laboratories missions. Roots the work in the fundamentals of science and engineering while applying a deep understanding of engineering and scientific principles. Creates and applies scientific theories and laws and engineering methods used within scientific and engineering disciplines to develop or demonstrate new designs, concepts, materials, machines, products, processes, or systems. Uses physical and computational simulation, analysis, and evaluation as inherent activities of development. Plans, conducts, and executes Sandia's science and engineering programs within the spectrum of fundamental research, development, or demonstration.

Participates in the development and application of computational capabilities to solve problems in science and engineering. Applies methods and techniques that merge disciplines in science and engineering with computer science. Includes the research, development, deployment and in-depth technical support of general scientific and engineering application software and related tools.

Primary Job Duties
• Plans, conceives, conducts, or manages research and development for Sandia's customers and sponsors.
• Directs systematic study toward a fuller knowledge or understanding of the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts, and discovers new approaches to achieve goals.
• Creates new understandings and capabilities by using the scientific method's hypothesis, test, and evaluation techniques; critical review; or similar engineering research and development methods.
• Initiates, designs, develops, executes, and evaluates new processes, products, or systems through basic and applied research.
• Uses engineering principles to research, design, or develop structures, instruments, machines, experiments, processes, systems, theories, or technologies; to construct or operate the same with full cognizance of their design; or to forecast their behavior under specific operating conditions.
• Undertakes development and possible technology transfer of solutions, products, principles or technology.
• Undertakes creative work, making systematic use of investigation or experimentation, to discover or revise knowledge of reality, and uses this knowledge to devise new applications.

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities
• Advanced technical degree or significant equivalent experience
• Technical knowledge and competencies appropriate to the position
• Thorough knowledge of and applied experience with scientific and engineering methods and with the discipline's standards for the ethical conduct of research
• Thorough knowledge of and experience with designing, planning, and executing research, design, and development projects
• Demonstrated knowledge of and experience with implementing Sandia policies affecting research, design, and development activities, projects, or initiatives
• Demonstrated ability to team across disciplines

Required
• Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related discipline
• Applicants must have experience in, and be highly proficient at, solid state physics
• Applicants must be experienced in computational simulation of semiconductor devices
• Experience with UNIX-type operating systems is required, as well as with an advanced scientific programming language, such as C++
• Must have excellent verbal and written communication skills, a willingness to work in a collaborative team environment, and demonstrated interest in interdisciplinary research

Desired
• An active publication record
• Working in a massively parallel, high performance computing environment
• Advanced C++ programming and object-oriented design
• Agile software development practices and quality software engineering
• Performing calculations with commercial TCAD tools
• Making effective technical presentations and interacting with customers, sponsors and partner institutions
