About Our Team

Sandia's Center for Global Security and Cooperation leads and implements Sandia's cooperative programs for arms control, nonproliferation, nuclear security and threat reduction in support of a variety of customers including the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Office of Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation, the Department of Defense (DoD) Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) and Department of State, to name a few. These programs focus on reducing global nuclear, chemical, biological and radiological dangers by preventing the misuse of nuclear, chemical, biological and radiological materials, preventing the diversion of weapons-usable materials from civilian nuclear energy programs through safeguards, and reducing the threat posed by nuclear weapons themselves through arms control treaties and agreements, and cooperative threat reduction programs. These objectives are achieved through international cooperative partnerships, engagement with the policy community, and engineered solutions. The technical expertise used in the Centers work arises from fundamental research and development, systems research and analysis, and a variety of competencies, skills and knowledge required to engineer solutions. The technology developed is wide ranging and includes : physical protection and security systems for protecting materials, transportation systems and facilities; International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards for nuclear material in other countries; systems for detecting, deterring and interdicting materials at border crossings and seaports; developing and implementing exportable monitoring technologies for transparency and verification of agreements; biosafety and security systems to build capacity in other countries; and technical cooperation to promote regional stability in regions critical to U.S. national security, through the Cooperative Monitoring Center (CMC).

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 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.
