Since 1949, Sandia National Laboratories has developed science-based technologies that support our national security. Today, over 272 million Americans depend on Sandia’s technology solutions to solve national and global threats to peace and freedom.

Through science and technology, people, infrastructure, and partnerships, Sandia's mission is to meet national needs in five key areas:

• Nuclear Weapons — ensuring the stockpile is safe, secure, reliable, and can support the United States' deterrence policy
• Nonproliferation and Assessments — reducing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, the threat of nuclear accidents, and the potential for damage to the environment
• Military Technologies and Applications — addressing new threats to national security
• Energy and Infrastructure Assurance — enhancing the surety of energy and other critical infrastructures
• Homeland Security — helping to protect our nation against terrorism

Sandia is a government-owned/contractor operated (GOCO) facility. Lockheed Martin manages Sandia for the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration. We seek collaborative partnerships on emerging technologies that support our mission.
