The Interns for Security, Arms control, and Force protection Engineering (iSAFE) Institute provides the opportunity to develop next-generation systems for compelling national security missions. Our interns work on complex and challenging problems to lower the risk posed by high-consequence events, such as nuclear and biological proliferation, terrorist threats, catastrophic incidents, and potentially destabilizing world and national events. Our projects range from small R&D and data analysis efforts to large, multidisciplinary team collaborations on complex multidimensional national security deliverables. Sponsored by Sandia’s Global Security Division, iSAFE offers our interns the opportunity to work with highly competent technical mentors and staff members which enhances the intern's experience at Sandia, while contributing to challenging national security mission problems. The mission of iSAFE is to identify and attract highly skilled interns to Sandia National Laboratories and provide contributions to national security through the effective use of science, technology and full-spectrum system solutions to lower the risk posed by high-consequence events. iSAFE’s objective is to create a pipeline of highly skilled and competent STEM interns for possible future employment at Sandia.

Sandia National Laboratories is the nation’s premier science and engineering lab for national security and technology innovation, with teams of specialists focused on cutting-edge work in a broad array of areas. Some of the main reasons we love our jobs:

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