Join our team as an early career Electrical Engineer to play a vital role in asserting the safety of components, subassemblies, or systems throughout all phases of a product's lifecycle. In this role, you will develop expertise in nuclear safety architecture for weapon systems and gain in-depth knowledge of the design and functionality of safety-critical components and/or software. You will provide guidance on nuclear safety principles and implementation for early development, test and integration, and manufacturing activities. Additionally, you will guide the collection of evidence to support the claims related to nuclear safety assertions and produce the necessary documentation. As a Nuclear Safety Assurance Engineer, you will support Research and Development teams responsible for design, development, qualification, and manufacturing of high-consequence products that support our Nuclear Deterrence mission.
