About the role

Sandia National Laboratories seeks a senior Ph. D. Metallurgical/Materials Engineer to ensure reliability and safety of pressure vessels in hydrogen service at the Livermore, CA site. The role emphasizes materials selection, design standards, and joining technologies, with frequent travel across CONUS. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in fracture mechanics, welding metallurgy, and failure analysis, and will interact with cross‑functional teams to reduce risk and drive innovation.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
