Full Job Description
What You'll Do Day-To-Day
Work from detailed programming specifications, design, modify, develop, write and implement software-programming applications.
Participate in the testing process through test review and analysis, test witnessing and certification of software.
Support and/or install software applications/operating systems.
Manage installation and configuration of complex suites third-party applications.
Provide resolution to a fundamental problem or seize an opportunity that improves the satisfaction of a customer, user or provider.
Explain the financial impact of a solution or a decision to assist customers in complying with budget requirements.
May take ownership of solutions deployed in a global environment. Ownership = operational leadership, strategic leadership, responsible for creating and defending software design, technical leadership within a task or project that changes the software, interface with IT, vendor/consultant/subcontractor/customer management.
May provide supervision and guidance to less experienced Software Engineers.
Develop safety critical software for digital I&C platforms used in reactor protection, engineered safety features actuation, and other safety class functions.
Translate system and regulatory requirements into detailed software requirements, design specifications, and implementation plans.
Implement software using approved development tools and methods appropriate for safety class applications (e.g., structured programming, formal methods, model-based development).
Support software architecture definition, including redundancy, determinism, diversity, and fail-safe behavior.
Perform software engineering test activities.
Ensure compliance with nuclear and safety critical software standards such as IEC 60880, IEC 62138, IEEE 7 4.3.2, IEC 61513, IEEE 1012and applicable NRC regulatory guidance.
Prepare and maintain lifecycle documentation, including requirements traceability, and configuration records.
Collaborate with system architects and system designers, hardware engineers, cybersecurity specialists, and licensing teams to ensure integrated, licensable solutions.
Participate in hazard analyses, FMEA, and software contributions to the safety case.
Support customer interactions, audits, and regulatory reviews related to software design and qualification.
Contribute to continuous improvement of software development processes, tools, and quality practices.
What You'll Bring
Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field. Equivalent work experience may be considered in lieu of degree.

Understanding of network protocols and application deployment across environments.
Ability to diagnose and resolve fundamental technical issues.
Excellent communication skills with ability to work effectively with all levels of staff and management.
Ability to develop and maintain good interpersonal relationships; work collaboratively within a team environment.
Ability to change priorities quickly, confront issues directly and work well as part of a team.
Experience developing software for safety critical or regulated environments (nuclear, aerospace, medical, rail, or industrial control).
Understanding of deterministic real time software behavior, embedded systems, and safety critical design principles.
Familiarity with nuclear digital I&C standards and regulatory expectations for safety class software.
Proficiency with programming languages and tools used in safety critical development (e.g., C, C++, structured languages, model-based tools, static analysis tools).
Experience with requirements engineering, traceability, and configuration management.
Strong analytical, documentation, and communication skills.
Experience with digital safety platforms (e.g., FPGA based systems, safety PLCs, or certified DCS platforms).
Knowledge of cybersecurity requirements for nuclear digital systems (e.g., NEI 08 09, RG 5.71).
Experience supporting licensing submittals, audits, or regulatory inspections.
Familiarity with model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and formal verification methods.
