"Exceptional service in the national interest." This was the statement made by President Truman when he authorized the National Laboratories. Sandia offers many creative career opportunities for those willing to challenge their minds, their hearts and their spirits.
Sandia regularly submits receives acknowledged for R&D projects.The Awards, widely recognized as the "Oscars of Innovation", identifies and celebrates the top high technology products of the year. Sophisticated testing equipment, innovative new materials, chemistry breakthroughs, biomedical products, consumer items, high-energy physics: the R&D 100 Awards spans industry, academia, and government-sponsored research.
Sandia National Laboratories safeguards the nation's nuclear stockpile and helps the country solve some of its most pressing engineering problems in homeland security, energy, and basic research.
Its roots lie in World War II's Manhattan Project. Its history reflects the changing national security needs of postwar America.
Sandia's original emphasis on ordnance engineering — turning the nuclear physics packages created by Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories into deployable weapons — expanded into new areas as national security requirements changed.
In addition to ensuring the safety and reliability of the stockpile, Sandia applied the expertise it acquired in weapons work to a variety of related areas such as energy research, supercomputing, treaty verification, nanotechnology, and nonproliferation.
