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.
