Sandia National Laboratories
Location: Albuquerque, NM
Job Number: 7065442 (Ref #: 671462)
Posting Date: Mar 19, 2020
Job Description
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 needs to 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. : We are seeking a hardworking Postdoctoral researcher with an interest in security of battery and energy management systems for grid energy storage systems. You will work closely with our utility partners, battery integrators and manufacturers, universities and other national laboratories. You will also work with multiple battery management development kits, communication system emulators as well as hardware-in-the-loop real time simulators (e.g., Opal-RT) and energy storage system hardware by utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. On any given day, you may be called on to: + Investigate the performance and security of all building blocks of battery storage systems, including battery management systems, supervisory system controls, power converters and cell interfaces through laboratory tests; + Study the security of the communication protocols between electronic hardware of battery energy storage systems; + Propose and develop improvements to state-of-the-art battery management system hardware, communication protocols and protection, monitoring and control functions; + Craft publications (e.g. technical reports, conference publications, and journal publications) that disseminate results of findings related to security of battery management systems made in the laboratory and proposed advances in state-of-the-art battery management systems; + Travel as necessary.
Required:
+ PhD in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline; + Background in one or more of the following: communications systems, power electronics, embedded systems, instrumentation, or control; + Programming experience with C, MATLAB, Python, or similar; + Publication record demonstrated through journal and conference publications listed in resume/CV.

Security Clearance:
This position does not currently require a Department of Energy (DOE) security clearance. Sandia will conduct a pre-employment drug test and background review that includes checks of personal references, credit, law enforcement records, and employment/education verifications. Furthermore, employees in New Mexico need to pass a U.S. Air Force background screen for access to Kirtland Air Force Base. Substance abuse or illegal drug use, falsification of information, criminal activity, serious misconduct or other indicators of untrustworthiness can cause access to be denied or terminated, resulting in the inability to perform the duties assigned and subsequent termination of employment. If hired without a clearance and it subsequently becomes necessary to obtain and maintain one for the position, or you bid on positions that require a clearance, a pre-processing background review may be conducted prior to a required federal background investigation. Applicants for a DOE security clearance need to be U.S. citizens. 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. Members of the workforce (MOWs) hired at Sandia who require uncleared access for greater than 179 days during their employment, are required to go through the Uncleared Personal Identity Verification (UPIV) process. Access includes physical and/or cyber (logical) access, as well as remote access to any NNSA information technology (IT) systems. UPIV requirements are not applicable to individuals who require a DOE personnel security clearance for the performance of their SNL employment or to foreign nationals. The UPIV process will include the completion of a USAccess Enrollment, SF-85 (Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive Positions) and OF-306 (Declaration of for Federal Employment). An unfavorable UPIV determination will result in immediate retrieval of the SNL issued badge, removal of cyber (logical) access and/or removal from SNL subcontract. All MOWs may appeal the unfavorable UPIV determination to DOE/NNSA immediately. If the appeal is unsuccessful, the MOW may try to go through the UPIV process one year after the decision date.
EEO Statement:
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.
