A minimum of 5+ years of industry experience (nuclear or related) with a B.S. degree, or 3+ years with an M.S. or Ph.D., demonstrating expertise in software development and nuclear reactor core thermal-hydraulic analysis.
Proficiency in Python programming and experience with Git or similar version control systems; preference for candidates also proficient in C++.
Experience with Software Quality Assurance (SQA) programs and familiarity with Nuclear Quality Assurance (NQA-1) standards is highly preferred.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills, essential for working within an NQA-1 environment and for formally documenting calculations.
