What Your Job Will Be Like We are seeking a Year Round - R&D Graduate Intern, that will assist on experiments at the Dynamic Integrated Compression Experimental (DICE) facility and the Mykonos pulsed power machine. The DICE facility houses a portable flash x-ray diode system generating pulsed x-rays for x-ray diffraction and radiography. In the initial stage of the project, the intern would be part of a team to work on: Supporting, upgrading, and maintaining the x-ray diode system Characterize system performance at various x-ray energies Use an ultrafast x-ray camera to radiograph test samples. The Mykonos Pulsed Power Facility is a 5-cavity linear transformer driver that operates at 0.85 MA output current, 400 kV output voltage, with a 10-90% current risetime of 85 ns, which enables small scale physics and engineering pulsed power experiments. Mykonos provides hands-on pulsed power experimental training along-side Sandia scientists in an environment that is...
