You will use your simulation and modeling software background, software and system engineering expertise, and preferable NASA domain experience to evaluate target programs to ensure safety and mission success.
Roles and Responsibilities:
- Perform software verification and validation activities to include analysis of software requirements, design, code, and test throughout the software development cycle from the conceptual phase through the operational phase to ensure the expected and need response for nominal and adverse conditions/events.
- Perform static code analysis to identify errors and the impact of those errors
- Performs IV&V analysis of systems and software architecture, system and software requirements, software design, software interfaces, source code, software integration and the developer's unit, build, and systems integration test products.
- Performs functional analysis, scenario analysis, timeline analysis, detail trade studies, and requirements allocation and interface definition studies to evaluate compliance of software specifications with customer requirements.
- Participates in the software developer's software Requirements, Design, Code, and Test (RDCT) walkthroughs.
- Perform system engineering activities to support scenario analysis, interface analysis, functional analysis in the evaluation of software specifications and software behavior
- Use system based knowledge to derive, document, code and execute independent test cases
- Perform static code analysis to identify errors and the impact of those errors
- Perform risk assessments and software hazard analysis
- Write and speak effectively to write technical plans, reports, and communicate results, problems, status, etc. to developers and NASA management
