The 6360 Senior Manager will execute strategic initiatives in collaboration with the United States Nuclear Detonation Detection System (USNDS) ground program management office.

  • Stakeholder Engagement : Build and nurture strong partnerships with Sandia Program Offices, co-developing solutions to meet their needs.
  • Synergy Creation : Encourage collaboration between projects and products within the group to enhance overall impact.
  • Portfolio Execution : Lead the execution of the emergent systems portfolio alongside the Modern Systems Solutions group.
  • Program Oversight : Direct the execution of the US Nuclear Detonation Detection System (USNDS), ensuring successful delivery on time and within budget.
  • Due to the nature of the work, the selected applicant must be able to work onsite at our primary facility in Albuquerque, NM

    Salary Range

    $184,400 - $313,700

  • Salary range is estimated, and actual salary will be determined after consideration of the selected candidate's experience and qualifications, and application of any approved geographic salary differential.
  • Qualifications We Require

  • Bachelor's degree in relevant discipline, or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience, plus ten (10) or more years of directly related experience that demonstrates the knowledge, skills, and ability to perform the duties of the job.
  • Active DOE Q and SCI clearance which may require a polygraph test.

  • A graduate degree in science or engineering (MS or Ph.D.).
  • Demonstrated positive impact of leadership ability, including direct and influence management skills.

  • About Our Team

    The Modern Systems Actualization Senior Manager has a pivotal role within a highly integrated Center leadership team dedicated to empowering our customers to act with confidence and precision. 6360 is responsible for delivering mission capability to the Air Force for projects within the United States Nuclear Detonation (NUDET) Detection System (USNDS) Ground Program, which includes the Integrated Correlation and Display System (ICADS). The team works closely with Air Force Technical Applications Center (AFTAC) operators to support real-time missions, resolve and analyze anomalies, and define space ground system requirements.

    Posting Duration

    This posting will be open for application submissions for a minimum of seven (7) calendar days, including the 'posting date'. Sandia reserves the right to extend the posting date at any time.

    Security Clearance

    Position requires a Department of Energy (DOE) SCI security clearance to start, or equivalent active security clearance with another U.S. government agency (e.g., DOD). Sandia is required by DOE to conduct a pre-employment drug test and background review that includes checks of personal references, credit, law enforcement records, and employment / education verifications. Applicants for employment need to be able to obtain and maintain a DOE Q-level security clearance and SCI access, both of which require US citizenship. SCI access may also require a polygraph examination. If you hold more than one citizenship (i.e., of the U.S. and another country), your ability to obtain these levels of access may be impacted.

    Applicants offered employment with Sandia are subject to a federal background investigation to meet the requirements for access to classified information or matter if the duties of the position require a DOE security clearance. Substance abuse or illegal drug use, falsification of information, criminal activity, serious misconduct or other indicators of untrustworthiness can cause a clearance to be denied or terminated by the DOE, resulting in the inability to perform the duties assigned and subsequent termination of employment.

    EEO

    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.

    NNSA Requirements for MedPEDs

    If you have a Medical Portable Electronic Device (MedPED), such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, drug-releasing pump, hearing aids, or diagnostic equipment and other equipment for measuring, monitoring, and recording body functions such as heartbeat and brain waves, if employed by Sandia National Laboratories you may be required to comply with NNSA security requirements for MedPEDs.

    If you have a MedPED and you are selected for an on-site interview at Sandia National Laboratories, there may be additional steps necessary to ensure compliance with NNSA security requirements prior to the interview date.
