About the role

- This role sits at the intersection of software quality, regulatory compliance, and AI-augmented engineering.
Responsibilities

- Establish and refine defect tracking and V&V workflows alongside the Compliance/Quality/Testing Lead, ensuring traceability from requirement to test to resolution.
Requirements
- Computer science degree or equivalent, with 0-2 years of professional experience (internships, co-ops, and project work count).

- Good written and verbal communication, and willingness to learn the nuclear regulatory environment (NQA-1).
- Coursework or project work testing AI/ML systems or LLM-powered applications (prompt testing, output validation, drift detection).
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and integrating automated tests into build/release workflows.
- Familiarity with verification and validation (V&V) concepts, requirements traceability, or formal QA processes.
- Exposure to Palantir Foundry or similar data/ontology platforms.
- Preferred Experience
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).
