Incorporates review comments and walk down data into associated engineering products, databases and programs. Supports engineering work functions in support of applicable safety analyses, industry codes, and regulatory requirements. Manages the development, implementation, and evaluation of complex designs, product construction and testing. Typically reports to a head of a unit/department.

**Position Requirements**:

- Software regression testing and validation
- Perform and document security-related tests on electric meters, gas communication modules, field network communication devices as well as other network support devices to ensure they meet BGE System Specifications and Client security requirements.
- Collect, analyze, document and report on performance, reliability and related functional and/or performance issues.
