Job Summary
Solicitation/Role Title: Sr Plant I&C Systems Engineer
Location (City State Country): Remote
Travel Expectations: Occasional / 1 trip per month Wilmington NC
Role Summary / Purpose
Senior Engineer - Plant I&C System Design performs a range of activities such as; requirements management systems architecture and design reactor protection plant process control and monitoring plus automation logic algorithm input/output and set-point development as well as develop plant system and component equipment platform specifications diagrams data lists with associated functional performance and environmental qualification plans. Participates in cross- discipline reviews and work planning. Scope covers test and power reactors including nuclear and turbine island balance of plant and yard.
Selection preference given to individuals deployed from suppliers with; 1) prior DOE experience 2) operational staff performing similar work for other customers 3) possibility of non- GEH work and 4) facility <6 hours driving distance.
Onsite presence both planned and emergent maybe as low as 50%. US Citizenship Only - US Government DOE or DOD projects.
