Intern - Energy Storage Technology and Systems - R&D; Graduate Year-Round

What Your Job Will Be Like The Energy Storage Technology and Systems Department has a position open for a year-round intern interested in developing open-source cloud-based systems for data acquisition and visualization, and system modeling and control.
In particular, the candidate will develop open-source packages used to store time-series data acquired from Excel and comma-delimited files or from remote devices into databases (like InfluxDB and postgreSQL) and display the data in responsive web interfaces (like Redash and Grafana).
Experience with one or more of react, JSON APIs, angularJS, Node.
JS, and Python is required.
Experience with packages like Tensorflow, Pandas, Matplotlib, SQLAlchemy, and scikit-learn is highly desirable.
The student will be part of a multi-disciplinary group and interact with researchers working on power converters, cybersecurity, and battery degradation analysis.
The applicant is expected to generate deliverables, including software releases, and be given the opportunity to publish (e.
g.
, technical reports, conference publications, and journal publications).
We fully expect that the successful candidate will not have the entire range of desired experience and will help them acquire new expertise during the internship period.
The position may be remote.

Security Clearance This position does not currently require a Department of Energy (DOE) security clearance.
Sandia will conduct a pre-employment drug test and background review that includes checks of personal references, credit, law enforcement records, and employment/education verifications.
Furthermore, employees in New Mexico need to pass a U.
S.
Air Force background screen for access to Kirtland Air Force Base.
Substance abuse or illegal drug use, falsification of information, criminal activity, serious misconduct or other indicators of untrustworthiness can cause access to be denied or terminated, resulting in the inability to perform the duties assigned and subsequent termination of employment.
If hired without a clearance and it subsequently becomes necessary to obtain and maintain one for the position, or you bid on positions that require a clearance, a pre-processing background review may be conducted prior to a required federal background investigation.
Applicants for a DOE security clearance need to be U.
S.
citizens.
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.
Members of the workforce (MOWs) hired at Sandia who require uncleared access for greater than 179 days during their employment, are required to go through the Uncleared Personal Identity Verification (UPIV) process.
Access includes physical and/or cyber (logical) access, as well as remote access to any NNSA information technology (IT) systems.
UPIV requirements are not applicable to individuals who require a DOE personnel security clearance for the performance of their SNL employment or to foreign nationals.
The UPIV process will include the completion of a USAccess Enrollment, SF-85 (Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive Positions) and OF-306 (Declaration of for Federal Employment).
An unfavorable UPIV determination will result in immediate retrieval of the SNL issued badge, removal of cyber (logical) access and/or removal from SNL subcontract.
All MOWs may appeal the unfavorable UPIV determination to DOE/NNSA immediately.
If the appeal is unsuccessful, the MOW may try to go through the UPIV process one year after the decision date.
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.
