  • Experience working on engineering design, qualification, or production projects within the Nuclear Security Enterprise (NSE).
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills and ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams.
  • High attention to detail to provide critical review for requirements tracing.
  • Strong understanding of systems engineering principles and methodologies.
  • Proven experience in requirements elicitation, analysis, and documentation.
