• Prepare designs for nuclear safety and operational systems: Including reactor protection, augmented quality assurance, process instrumentation, and balance of plant systems.
• Execute design projects through all phases: From conceptual to detailed design, using digital tools and rigorous configuration management.
• Select and integrate I&C hardware and software: Ensuring functional, performance, reliability, and security goals.
• Collaborate with other disciplines: To achieve RAM targets using FMEA, PRA, and related methods.
• Support regulatory licensing and procurement: Oversee supplier development and compliance with standards.
• Manage supplier testing and integration: Review and approve test plans, procedures, and reports (FAT, SAT, etc.).
• Build and maintain relationships: With project management, A/E, EPC partners, and suppliers.
• Manage project scope, budget, and schedule: Deliver results on time and within budget.
• Drive continuous improvement and cost reduction: Support LEAN initiatives.
• Provide leadership and mentorship: Promote a strong nuclear safety culture.

Requirements:

• Technical Degree in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Nuclear, Computer Science/Technology, Systems), or related field (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics).
• Extensive Industry Experience: ideally within heavy industries, high-risk or high-standards industries (nuclear, power, oil & gas, etc.).
• Design Documentation Expertise: creating system design requirements, specifications, and documentation using digital tools (drawings, databases, etc.).
• Diagramming and Modeling Proficiency: developing diagrams (functional block, logic, wiring, etc.) and physics-based simulations.
• Standards Compliance: Working experience with IEC 60xxx/61xxx/62xxx OR IEEE standards (603, 7-4.3.2, etc.).
• Safety-Critical I&C Experience: Proven experience in design, application, or field engineering of safety-significant I&C systems.
• Dynamic Simulation Experience with digital tools for physics-based process control algorithm development and simulation.
• PLC/DCS Experience: application or field engineering of mid-tier PLC or top-tier DCS systems.

Desired Experience:

• Nuclear I&C Expertise: Experience with nuclear analog and digital I&C, safety systems, and related processes (CRD, RBM, EQ testing, etc.).
• Nuclear Regulatory Experience: Familiarity with nuclear regulatory affairs, design certification, and licensing (US NRC or international standards).
• Advanced DCS/PLC Experience: Hands-on experience with deploying and supporting complex, high-reliability DCS/PLC systems (GE Mark-VIe, Westinghouse CommonQ, etc.).
• Digital Engineering Tool Proficiency: Experience with modern digital engineering tools for content creation, requirements management, simulation, and configuration management (Confluence, DOORS-NextGen, Simulink, etc.).
• Strong Analytical and Decision-Making Skills: Clear thinking, detail-oriented, and able to make sound, timely decisions.
• Excellent Communication Skills: Exceptional technical writing and strong verbal communication abilities.
• Project Management Skills: Ability to take ownership, plan, prioritize, and manage projects effectively.
• Proactive and Results-Oriented: Self-starter with a positive attitude and a track record of delivering quality results.
• Team Player: Ability to collaborate effectively in cross-disciplinary teams.
• Adaptability and Continuous Improvement: Willingness to learn, adapt, and implement process improvements.
• Lean/Agile and Quality Improvement Skills: Working knowledge of Agile, LEAN, DMAIC, DFSS, FMEA, and related methodologies.
