System One is seeking to contract with an experienced I&C Design Engineer for a long-term, fully remote role. As part of the team, you will contribute to the development of Sodium Fast Reactor technologies, including the design, prototype development, testing, system integration, and commissioning of advanced instrumentation and control systems. You will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and external partners to ensure seamless integration and high-quality delivery of complex systems for Generation IV advanced nuclear reactor technologies.

Key Responsibilities:

 

Interface and support a geographically diverse and international design team, including in-house, subcontracted, and partner/customer resources. Lead the design of I&C and supporting electrical systems from functional requirements to final design. Develop and review system- and component-level specifications and scopes of work, ensuring alignment with nuclear codes, standards, and regulations. Provide technical direction and guidance to engineers on nuclear and non-nuclear design standards. Specify and assess the suitability of instrumentation measurement techniques for sodium fast reactors and integrated energy storage technologies, considering measurement range, accuracy, and response time. Apply regulatory criteria and standards to complex I&C system designs. Review and develop key technical design documents, such as System Requirements Documents, System Design Descriptions, Interface Control Documents, and Engineering Design Specifications. Create and manage drawing packages for system and sub-system designs (e.g., P&IDs, control system architecture, control logic diagrams, instrument installation drawings). Develop integrated design packages for key systems and sub-systems. Provide oversight and technical direction to supplier projects, ensuring compliance with contract requirements and coordinating technical reviews. Support continuous learning and application of nuclear industry best practices to maintain high engineering design standards. Integrate I&C systems with the work of other disciplines, engineers, and subject matter experts. Support licensing activities related to Safety Analysis Reports.

Key Qualifications & Skills:

  Education: B.S. or higher in Controls, Electrical, or a related discipline from an accredited university.   Experience: Minimum of 6 years of direct experience in instrumentation and controls systems development, diagnostics, and delivery. Higher education may count toward years of experience.   Desired Experience: Previous experience with nuclear reactor safety systems or nuclear instrumentation systems design.  Familiarity with IEEE and IEC standards. Experience in implementing design controls in accordance with nuclear power plant quality assurance standards (e.g., 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, ASME NQA-1). Experience with high-temperature process design (400°C and higher).    Technical Skills: Ability to manage complex projects with competing objectives and resolve conflicts. Experience with industrial process flow diagrams (PFD) and piping & instrument diagrams (P&ID). Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks) (preferred but not required).   Other Skills: Excellent technical writing, communication, and presentation abilities. Strong attention to detail and commitment to technical excellence. Self-starter with the ability to coordinate and lead a design team with minimal direction. Ability to manage multiple tasks requiring a multi-disciplinary approach. Experience with I&C system startup testing procedures (preferred but not required).
