Engineering Technology and Design

Engineering solutions to assure answers for tomorrow’s evolving threats

The Engineering Technology and Design Division (E-DO) provides innovative engineering solutions while stewarding and expanding capabilities to develop answers for tomorrow’s evolving threats. E Division provides diverse R&D solutions and a broad range of capabilities including requirements definition, design, analysis, fabrication, assembly, testing, and evaluation. Our mission is to advance technology while expanding the tools and expertise needed for the future.

We invest in people and innovation.

As a learning organization, we foster collaboration across teams and institutions, continuously improving by applying lessons learned. We’re committed to developing the next generation of engineers through a robust student pipeline and hands-on training that directly supports LANL’s Weapons Program.

Excellence is at the core of everything we do. We deliver high-quality products and services while maintaining a strong focus on safety, security, and transparent communication.

Our expertise spans across multiple technical domains:

  • Engineering & Design
  • Thermal & Fluid Systems
  • Diagnostics & Testing
  • Materials & Safety
  • Weapons Systems Support
