Experience with Git, Jira, Azure DevOps, or similar engineering tools.

Ability to read, understand, and review production software code.

Strong written communication and documentation skills, the ability to produce audit-ready documentation.

Experience preparing for and supporting quality or regulatory audits.

Preferred Experience

Experience working in regulated industries such as nuclear, aerospace, defense, medical devices, energy, or industrial systems.

Familiarity with ASME NQA-1 quality requirements.

Experience in nuclear or a U.S. Department of Energy environment.

Familiarity with safety-critical software standards such as IEEE 1012, IEC 61508, or IEC 60880.
