## About the role

This is an engineering role—not simply a test execution position. You will determine what needs to be verified, how to test it, and what evidence is needed to demonstrate compliance. You'll work across software, hardware, firmware, FPGA, systems engineering, quality, and project teams to evaluate system performance, identify technical risks, and ensure requirements are fully verified.

## What they're looking for

- Lead independent verification and validation (IV&V) activities for nuclear digital I&C and embedded control systems
- Translate system, hardware, software, firmware, interface, and performance requirements into appropriate verification objectives and test requirements
- Perform, witness, and evaluate component, subsystem, system, Factory Acceptance, and regression testing
- Evaluate test results and objective evidence to determine whether requirements have been met
- Identify anomalies, technical risks, incomplete evidence, and potential compliance issues, drive issues through resolution and closure
- Document deficiencies and technical issues clearly and support investigation, disposition, corrective action, retest, and closure
