About NIST Engineering Laboratory

NIST Engineering Laboratory's work addresses manufacturing, construction and cyber-physical systems, including smart-grid activities. These capabilities are relevant to industrial resilience, infrastructure and the manufacturing base that supports national security. EL operates within NIST’s federal laboratory organization and works through research, testing and standards rather than a commercial product catalog. This profile covers the laboratory as an organizational unit; specific research buildings, testbeds and technical divisions require their own facility-level evidence. Recruitment is through NIST’s agency-wide careers channels.
