Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — Sandia Labs is preparing for workforce reductions that could impact up to 510 employees. Officials say the restructuring is tied to cost-cutting measures and may be influenced by a lack of funding for renewable energy in the proposed 2026 federal budget. The lab’s main site in Albuquerque employs over 13,000 people, but it’s unclear where the cuts will be concentrated.
