Responsibilities Apply control theory, mathematical modeling, and simulation to design control systems with desired behaviors including: Control logic functionality across operating modes Boundary settings and optimization Closed-loop or feedback control algorithms Sensor systems, hardware, and software development Complex systems analysis Design and support software and hardware solutions for Reactor Protection Systems – SC1, Regulatory Treatment of Non-Safety Systems – SC2, Plant Investment Protection Systems – SC3, and Balance of Plant Non-Safety Systems. Lead or support design phases including: Front End Engineering Design (FEED) Conceptual Design Preliminary / Intermediate Design Detailed / Final Design Prepare and maintain engineering deliverables using data-centric digital engineering tools, including technical reports and specifications, databases and functional tables, equipment and instrumentation characteristics, electrical and heat load documentation, equipment layouts and configuration management. Develop engineering drawings and diagrams such as functional block diagrams, sequential flow diagrams, digital logic diagrams, communication and networking diagrams. Develop and maintain dynamic simulation and modeling tools for physics-based and logic-based system design. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to achieve reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) goals using FMEA, PRA. Support supplier engagement including procurement packages, technical requirements, and system implementation. Oversee supplier testing activities including unit, module, and system testing, integration testing, and factory acceptance testing (FAT) for distributed control systems (DCS). Provide leadership and mentoring within engineering teams while maintaining a focus on safety, quality, and operational excellence.
