GE Vernova Hitachi Process Instrument Application Senior Engineer

At GE Vernova we are united by a single urgent and optimistic mission: electrify to thrive and decarbonize. The world needs us to accelerate the transition to more reliable affordable and sustainable energy. Together we have the energy to change the world.
As a Senior Instrumentation Engineer with Instrument Application Engineering (IAE) you will be responsible for strategic planning requirements and application selections inspection testing analysis evaluation or qualification and technical oversight to meet functional performance process qualification customer and regulatory requirements. This role is focused on BWRX-300 non-inline process instrumentation expertise required and will need to understand field instrument design functional knowledge and application of transmitters used for monitoring pressure temperature level and flow. The Senior Process Instrument Application Engineer must understand differential monitoring applications operational requirements of non-inline instruments instrument rack design testing and construction with knowledge smart transmitter testing evolutions is a desired and overall knowledge of applying transmitters to different system applications. This role is a technical thought leader for Instrumentation & Control and Electrical (ICE) team. IEC 62443 Cybersecurity standards (or equivalent) knowledge on applying criteria to non-inline instruments is desired.

• Understand or have the capacity to learn instrumentation sensor applications for reactor neutron temperature pressure level flow and any other parameters monitoring (desired).

• Lead the planning and conduct the evaluation selection application and adaptation of instrumentation / sensor / transducer application engineering techniques procedures and criteria to support cross- discipline integrated plant design (IPD) environment
• Develop and lead the selection and application of instrumentation sensors transducers and packaged systems in a wide variety of electrical HVAC hydraulic mechanical pneumatic ultrasonic etc. designs using both traditional analog and digital smart instrumentation for the following types of measured parameters; Temperature Pressure Level Flow Machinery Rotation and Vibration Area and Process Radiation Monitoring Seismic Monitoring Metrological Monitoring etc.
• Provide technical oversight plus develop and provide technical oversight of the preparation and modification of instrumentation requirements and other IAE engineering deliverables. Ensure deliverables are on-spec. on-budget and on-schedule
• Interpret the scope of the project and develop or review instrument datasheets piping & instrumentation diagrams (P&ID) and instrumentation racks list deploying I&C design principles to improve the overall system
• Support business and sourcing to: 1) ensure that procurement specification packages are properly developed 2) evaluate and assist with selection of suppliers and 3) respond to questions/requests/submittals

• Develop and implement plan to address and close Poland nuclear regulatory body design certification and customer specific plant licensing open items/request for information including but not limited to design acceptance criteria (DAC) and inspection test or analysis and acceptance criteria (ITAAC) (or equivalent) and provide mentorship to less experienced engineers.
• Establish productive working relationships and provide technical expertise to Engineer-Procure-Construct (EPC) team project management support functions suppliers regulators customers etc. and collaborate with external Architectural Engineering (AE) organizations as needed.
