They involve a redundant network design for servers, workstations, and field equipment. Designed for no single point of failure.

Confirm the systems meet requirements specific to the nuclear power plant industry to ensure our systems meet regulatory compliance, high-reliability, and long-term operability.

Integrate hardware, software, communications, sensors, actuators, and HMIs into cohesive system solutions.

Provide technical written and verbal direction to vendors, integrators, and internal development teams.

Author, maintain, and control System Documentation related to the system designed.

Development & Implementation Support

Support system development activities including configuration definition, design reviews, and technical baseline control.

Participate in FAT, SAT, installation oversight, and system commissioning.

Resolve technical issues identified during integration, testing, or operational use.

10+ years of experience designing and integrating systems.

Preferred / Bonus Qualifications

Direct experience working under 10 CFR 73 (e.g., §§ 73.46, 73.55)

Experience with NEI security guidance and NRC inspection procedures (IP 71130 series)

Prior work with nuclear utilities, EPC firms, or nuclear security integrators
