We are seeking an experienced systems engineer to lead the design, integration, and development of our Access Control, Intrusion Detection, and Video Surveillance Systems in industrial, nuclear power plant environments. This engineering role requires hands‑on technical leadership across system architecture, integration, and development oversight, nuclear plant physical protection systems. Although this role involves the use of Cyber Controls, this is NOT a position for a Cyber Security Engineer.
Familiarity with intrusion detection systems, access control systems, and video surveillance systems is desired but not required. The ability to ensure our systems meet high‑reliability and long‑term operability is necessary. Writing/documentation skills, MSWord, Excel, and CAD software skills, and proficient with various computer hardware/software platforms are required.

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.
Support lifecycle activities including upgrades, modifications, and obsolescence management.
Ability to travel occasionally (out of state) to customer site for walkdowns, meetings, and brief installation oversight.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Systems, Electrical, Software, or related).
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
Demonstrated experience designing, integrating, and developing nuclear security systems, with supporting authorship of SRS/HRS, SDD, HDD, and ICDs
