A guide to Division 2000's capabilities and expertise in component development and engineering support
Sandia operated by AT T for the US Department of Energy. Sandia has a billion dollar annual budget and over 8,000 employees. Sandia's main sites are in Albuquerque, New Mexico; Livermore, California; and Tonopah, Nevada. Sandia has a broad base of engineering and scientific skills that supports the whole product cycle from advanced R D through manufacturing and end-user support. Sandia's original mission was to develop the non-nuclear portion of nuclear weapons. In the 1970s, the mission was expanded to include technical work on conventional and alternative energy sources. Recently, the mission was further expanded to include technology transfer and US competitiveness. This report describes the activities in the Component Development and Engineering Support Division 2000 (indicated by the bold lines on the organization chart). Division 2000 develops electrical, electronic, optical, explosive, mechanical, and other components that are the core products of Sandia systems. The Division also develops advanced capabilities in CAD/CAE, test, nondestructive test, programming, reliability, failure analysis, and simulation that are part of the core services required by Sandia systems. For each of the core products and services described in this brochure, there is a corresponding set of science and engineering capabilities that are Sandia's core competencies. Also, there are systems groups that use these core products and services to develop ultra-reliable systems for Sandia's customers. Most of these groups have literature available describing their capabilities and expertise.
