TITANS Cybersecurity (also known as the Center for Cyber Defenders or CCD) is seeking students who want to have a career in cybersecurity. We are focused on developing the next generation of experts in the field of computer security from the software stack down to microelectronic hardware components. You will use your foundational computer science/engineering, electrical engineering, materials science, math, analytics, and data science skills, but your work will be directed to cybersecurity topics. We are seeking students pursuing undergraduate degrees in the field of Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or any closely related field of study and are interested in furthering their knowledge in the area of cyber security and information protection while working on their graduate degree.

Your job could consist of:

• Manual and automated failure analysis and vulnerability assessment

• Intrusion prevention/detection and response, penetration testing, and forensics

• Information protection, and resiliency

• Authentication and authorization

• Cryptography

• Mobile devices and smart technologies

• And many more areas of research!

  We are also looking for candidates with expertise in electrical engineering, physics, and materials science interested in:

• Debugging hardware prototypes

• Printed Circuit Board Layout

• Design analysis

• Prototype assembly

• Identifying and fixing integrated circuit issues (failure analysis)

• Focused Ion Beam (FIB) tools

• Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)

• Laser Scanning Microscopy (LSM) tools

• Design either at the integrated circuit or circuit board level, including tools such as

• K Layout

• Altium

• Cadence Tool Chain

• FPGA/microcontroller/embedded systems development

• Electronic measurement equipment experience including oscilloscope, power supplies, waveform generators, etc.

Security Clearance:

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, which requires U.S. citizenship. 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.

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 DOE, resulting in the inability to perform the duties assigned and subsequent termination of employment.
