** Your Role and Responsibilities*
* + Conduct comprehensive systems engineering analyses of nuclear weapon and delivery systems to ensure compliance with nuclear surety requirements.

+ Analyze system designs, operational concepts, and performance data to assess adherence to nuclear safety and surety regulations, including AFI 63-125 and 91 Series AFIs.

+ Support the development, review, and verification of nuclear certification artifacts to ensure safety and reliability standards are met.

+ Identify and mitigate technical risks, providing recommendations to address safety and security challenges.

+ Oversee technical aspects throughout the lifecycle of nuclear certification and sustainment efforts, ensuring adherence to program objectives.

+ Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, program offices, government stakeholders, and external partners to drive progress in systems development.

** Qualifications*

+ An interest in learning about nuclear certification processes and documentation, including AFI 63-125 and 91 Series Air Force Instructions (AFIs) governing nuclear surety and safety operations.

+ Basic understanding of military hardware or software systems.

*
* Preferred Qualifications:

*
* + Prior experience or exposure to Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) or other nuclear-capable systems is a plus but not required.

+ Basic knowledge of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools, such as CAMEO Systems Modeler, DOORS, or other system modeling software, is a bonus but not mandatory.
