About Our Team

The NW Controllers and Surveillance Department is responsible for the design, development, and support of electronic subsystems that manage the arming and fuzing functions of the nation's nuclear deterrent. The department specializes in analog and digital circuit design, as well as integrating software to control and test real-time embedded systems. The department is also responsible for the ongoing surveillance activities required to maintain the active stockpile's arming and fuzing electronic sub-systems.

Organization 5358 - The Inertial Integration and Qualification Department is responsible for the research, design, development, production support, and surveillance of inertial sensor products for Nuclear Deterrent Fuzing applications.

Currently, the team supports the production of the MC5002 / MC5002A Path Length Module as part of the common fuzeeffort for the Mk5 W88 Alt 370 AF&F and Mk21 AFA for the SLBM and ICBM legs of the nuclear weapons stockpile triad. The department also has responsibility for stockpile surveillance and management of the legacy Mk5/W88 MC3813 Force Balanced Integrating Accelerometer and the Pathlength Module. Finally, the team has responsibility for future weapon system research and development for future ND Systems, including the W93. Essential capabilities include technology evaluation, subsystem design and qualification, test system development, product realization, and stockpile management.

Security Clearance

Vector Resources is required by DOE to conduct a pre-employment drug test and background review that includes checks of personal references, credit, law enforcement records, and employment/education verifications. Applicants for employment need to be able to obtain and maintain a DOE Q-level security clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship. 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.

Applicants offered employment with Vector Resources are subject to a federal background investigation to meet the requirements for access to classified information or matter if the duties of the position require a DOE security clearance. Substance abuse or illegal drug use, falsification of information, criminal activity, serious misconduct, or other indicators of untrustworthiness can cause a clearance to be denied or terminated by DOE, resulting in the inability to perform the duties assigned and subsequent termination of employment.
