The Nuclear Safety Cross Check Analysis (NSCCA) program supports the Air Force's critical mission of ensuring the safety of nuclear weapon systems. We perform rigorous analysis and testing of nuclear weapon system software to ensure the system cannot violate the DoD Nuclear Surety standards.
Our Nuclear Safety Cross Check Analysis (NSCCA) program is seeking an Associate Systems Engineer to join their diverse team in Layton, UT.
Location: On-site in Layton, UT
In this role, you will:
• Perform assessments of systems, reviewing software with a focus on finding flaws and suggesting possible improvements.
• Perform code examination, analysis, and testing.
• Potentially work with system simulators and statistical analysis.
• Review and analyze systems, platforms, applications, and their interfaces to quickly acquire system knowledge to understand the design and functionality.
• Identify the hardware and software portions of systems for safety and mission critical functionality.
• Perform detailed evaluation of embedded software to verify that software requirements are correctly implemented in the design and code of embedded computers and that the resulting code does not contain embedded safety hazards.
• Identify requirements, design, and test procedures that will ensure the system will perform as expected.
• Document analysis performed with resulting anomalies identified.
• Present findings to peers, customers, and management.
