Some tasks will include:

• Develop and own required artifacts related to Safety for DoW programs
• Conduct and document safety assessments such as Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA), Subsystem Hazard Analysis (SHA), System Hazard Analysis (SHA), and Functional Hazard Assessment
• Develop verification plans and support related test activity, including analyzing data and developing required artifacts
• Collaborate with various engineering teams to embed safety features and fault tolerance into the design process

Requirements:

• Candidate must be a US Citizen and meet eligibility to obtain (and maintain) a Secret Clearance
• Bachelor's Degree in a STEM discipline and at least 5 years of experience in a similar role
