What Your Job Will Be Like Are you a student who enjoys building reliable software that touches real hardware and real data and want to apply those skills to materials science problems? Join Sandia National Laboratories¿ Materials Characterization and Performance team as a year-round intern supporting automation and advanced characterization. You will help modernize experimental data collection and processing by integrating sensors and detectors, orchestrating instruments, and building robust data pipelines for multimodal experimental streams (temporal signals, spatial data, and instrument state/metadata). The ideal candidate is Python-forward , but comfortable bridging to performance and vendor ecosystems by wrapping C/C++ (and/or Rust) into Python. On any given day, you may be called on to: Develop Python-based acquisition/control software that interfaces with characterization tools and laboratory sensors Integrate OEM SDKs and DLLs (often C/C++) into Python...
