At Sandia National Laboratories, the Software Engineering and Research Department seeks to provide sustainable career pathways for research software engineers (RSEs). The conceptual model for our organization follows what we call a Research, Develop, and Deploy (RDD) workflow pattern, enabling RSEs to partner with research and deployment specialists. We argue that this interdisciplinary model allows our department to act as an incubator and an accelerator for impactful ideas. We describe these tactics and our experiences as a RSE team in a scientific computing center.
