- Familiarity with verification and validation (V&V) concepts, requirements traceability, or formal QA processes.
- Exposure to Palantir Foundry or similar data/ontology platforms.
- Understanding of version control workflows and code review practices.
Compensation

Benefits
- Build automated test coverage (unit, integration, and end-to-end) for assigned NOS modules, using AI-assisted generation and review to accelerate coverage and catch gaps.
- Exposure to regulated industries where quality documentation and traceability are mandatory (nuclear, aerospace, defense, medical, financial).
