Requires ability to provide technical guidance and troubleshooting support for installation and commissioning led by field services team. In this Senior Professional band role, you will bridge the gap between advanced power electronics and stringent nuclear safety standards, acting as the final technical escalation point for the world’s most critical baseload power assets. Impacts approaches, projects and programs in the functional area or affected business organization and ways of working. Impacts quality, efficiency and effectiveness of own team. Has significant input into priorities. Guided by professional practices and policies that are shaped by the role. The role has moderate autonomy, requiring high levels of operational judgment. Job Description Roles and Responsibilities Nuclear Fleet Strategy: Define the long-term technical roadmap for excitation systems in the global nuclear fleet, including obsolescence management, digital upgrades, and life-extension programs. Regulatory & Compliance Leadership: Ensure all excitation designs and modifications strictly adhere to nuclear regulatory requirements and internal Nuclear Quality Management Systems. High-Consequence Problem Solving: Lead Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for complex, high-priority system disturbances in nuclear facilities, ensuring that solutions prioritize both plant availability and safety-critical stability. Advanced Grid-Nuclear Interaction: Direct advanced modeling and simulation to analyze the interaction between large-scale nuclear baseload generation and evolving grid codes, ensuring the fleet’s continued stability. Consulting SME: Provide expert-level consulting to the Commercial and Sales teams for multi-million dollar nuclear retrofit tenders, ensuring technical feasibility and risk mitigation. Knowledge Preservation: Institutionalize decades of excitation domain expertise by mentoring Staff and Lead engineers for nuclear excitation engineering. Provide guidance and leadership in developing documentation standards. Design Authority: Lead formal design reviews for New Product Introductions (NPI) and custom nuclear applications, ensuring rigorous verification and validation (V&V). Required Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering (Master’s or PhD strongly preferred). Minimum of 10 years of experience in power generation engineering, with at least 5–8 years specifically focused on excitation systems or mission-critical power plant controls. Exposure working within a Nuclear Safety Culture and navigating nuclear-specific quality and documentation standards. Deep knowledge in synchronous generator theory and power system stability. Strong systems engineering capability with the ability to lead complex, cross-functional integration efforts across excitation controls, generator systems, plant interfaces, and nuclear operational requirements. Eligibility Requirements The work location for this role is Longmont, CO (relocation assistance provided if not already local). This role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information. If applicable, final offers will be contingent on ability to obtain authorization for access to U.S. export-controlled information from the U.S. Government. Ability to travel globally (up to 25%) to support outages, customer design reviews, and regulatory audits (For Remote candidates, travel would require up to 50% travel). Desired Characteristics Minimum of 15 years of experience in power generation engineering, with at least 7–10 years specifically focused on excitation systems or mission-critical power plant controls. Recognized industry expert with a history of participation in IEEE/IEC working groups or nuclear industry forums (e.g., NEI, EPRI). Exceptional ability to evaluate how excitation transients impact the broader nuclear island and balance-of-plant systems. Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional technical teams during high-pressure forced outages or emergency site remediations. Support implementing predictive maintenance technologies within a regulated nuclear framework. Mastery in communicating complex technical risks to utility executives and regulatory bodies. Professional Engineer (PE) license or specialized degree / certifications.
