ROLE & RESPONSIBILITIES

Our advanced nuclear client is seeking an I&C Design Engineer to provide the following services: system design, prototype development and testing, plant level system integration, and commissioning. This position reports directly to the Non-Safety I&C Manager. In this role, you will act as an I&C Engineer for Sodium Fast Reactor technologies, including responsibility for the instrumentation and control. Your role will include interfacing with a team of internal and external scientists and engineers. You will also identify, specify, and integrate custom instrumentation with advanced control systems for advanced nuclear reactor technologies. Depending on the candidates level of experience, the candidate will also lead designs of I&C systems, structures, and components and may lead the technical oversight of I&C suppliers and their scopes of work.

• Responsible for interfacing and supporting geographically diverse and international design team members to develop supporting design documentation. The design team members include in-house and subcontracted resources and may include partner/customer resources as well.
• Develop and review system- and component-level specifications and scopes of work.
• Perform engineering and design evaluations in the application of nuclear codes and standards, licensing requirements, and NRC regulations.
• Specify and describe suitability of instrumentation measurement techniques for use in sodium fast reactor and integrated energy storage technologies, including analysis of measurement range, response time, and measurement accuracy.
• Analyze and apply regulatory criteria and standards to complex Instrumentation and Control system design.
• Develop and review technical design documents, such as System Requirements Documents, System Design Descriptions, Interface Control Documents, Engineering Design Specifications, etc.
• Create and manage drawing packages of system and component designs, including but not limited to P&IDs, control system architecture drawings, control logic and loop diagrams, and instrument installation drawings, etc.
• Generate integrated design package for key systems and components.
• Provide technical direction and oversight of supplier projects, working with the contract administrator to ensure delivery of data and other deliverables to meet requirements, as well as coordination and performance of technical reviews of deliverables.
• Support continuous learning and application of nuclear industry best practices in order to maintain the highest quality of engineering design and proactively identify process change/enhancement opportunities.
