I&C Human Factors Engineer

Instrumentation & Controls (I&C) Human Factors Engineer – Advanced Nuclear

System One is hiring an I&C Human Factors Engineer to support a cutting-edge advanced nuclear program. This role focuses on integrating Human Factors Engineering (HFE) into digital control systems and human-system interfaces (HSIs) for next-generation reactor technology.

Responsibilities

• Lead integration of Human Factors Engineering (HFE) into digital I&C systems and HSIs
• Design and support development of control room interfaces, displays, and control systems
• Apply HF principles to workstation, panel, and control room design (layout, reach, visibility, maintainability)
• Support I&C system design from requirements through final implementation
• Develop and review technical documentation (requirements, design descriptions, HFE analyses, UI specs)
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, operations, safety, and licensing teams
• Support validation activities including HFE V&V and Integrated System Validation (ISV)
• Ensure compliance with nuclear regulatory standards and design requirements
• Participate in design reviews, change evaluations, and system integration efforts

Required Qualifications

• M.S. or PhD in Human Factors, Industrial Engineering, or related field
  
  OR 8+ years of experience in Operations & Controls, Electrical, Computer, or Systems Engineering
• 5+ years of experience in I&C engineering for complex or nuclear systems
• Experience designing digital control/monitoring systems and Human-System Interfaces (HSIs)
• 3+ years applying Human Factors principles to:
  • Human-computer interfaces (control room or process environments)
  • Workstation/panel design (layout, reach, visibility, maintainability)
• Experience in I&C development, diagnostics, and implementation
• Demonstrated ability to design and deliver industrial I&C platforms

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with nuclear HF and I&C standards:
  • NUREG-0711, NUREG-0700
  • MIL-STD-1472
  • IEEE 845, IEEE 1289, IEEE 2411
  • ANSI/ANS-3.1
  • 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, ASME NQA-1
• Experience with nuclear plant operations, procedures, or HFE reviews
• Exposure to P&IDs, process systems, or control system integration

What We’re Looking For

• Strong technical documentation and communication skills
• Ability to work across multi-disciplinary engineering teams
• Detail-oriented with a focus on quality and compliance
• Self-starter capable of managing multiple priorities in complex environments

About the Program

This role supports an advanced nuclear technology program focused on delivering safe, reliable, and innovative energy solutions. The work directly contributes to next-generation reactor design and deployment.
