Supervisor - I&C Safety Systems Software Tools & Automation

Are you interested in being part of an innovative team that supports Westinghouse's mission to provide clean energy solutions? At Westinghouse, we recognize that our employees are our most valuable asset and we seek to identify, attract and recruit the most qualified talent while recognizing and encouraging the value of diversity in the global workplace.

About the role:

You will serve as a first-line engineering leader within the I&C Safety Systems Software Tools and Automation Organization, responsible for leading a team that develops and maintains software tools, automation frameworks, simulation environments, documentation automation capabilities, DevOps infrastructure, and engineering productivity solutions that support safety-critical digital I&C software development.

This role combines people leadership, resource management, hands-on software development, technical direction, and process improvement. You will have direct reports within the Software Tools and Automation team and will be responsible for building team capability, assigning work, supporting employee development, managing priorities, and ensuring the team delivers high-quality solutions that improve software development efficiency, quality, traceability, and maintainability.

You will also serve as a hands-on technical leader, contributing to the architecture, design, development, testing, and deployment of software tools and automation solutions. The role requires strong experience with C#, .NET, Azure DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, NuGet packages, reusable software libraries, automated testing frameworks, simulation environments, and integration of engineering tools across the software development lifecycle.

A key focus of this position is improving how safety software is developed, tested, documented, released, and maintained. You will lead initiatives to automate engineering workflows, improve Azure DevOps usage, support simulation-based testing, streamline documentation generation, improve traceability, and reduce manual effort across the software lifecycle.

You will work closely with software engineering leads, project managers, systems engineers, verification and validation teams, quality assurance, licensing, and other stakeholders to align tools and automation strategy with project needs and organizational priorities.

You will report to the Manager, I&C Safety Software and will be located in a hybrid role at the Warrendale, PA facility
