Serve as the primary engineering authority for assigned I&C components, including printed circuit cards, control processors, power supply units, analog/digital recorders, PLCs (e.g., Allen-Bradley, Modicon, Triconex), distributed control system (DCS) controllers, and monitoring equipment.
Perform root cause evaluations (RCEs), failure analyses, and trending of component performance to identify and mitigate degradation mechanisms.
Provide engineering support to maintenance and operations teams for troubleshooting, repair, calibration, and testing of I&C systems.
Lead or support engineering change packages (ECPs), including design reviews, configuration control, and as-built documentation updates.
Oversee the configuration, version control, and change management of embedded software in PLCs, controllers, and monitoring systems.
Evaluate obsolescence risks, qualify replacement parts, and support form-fit-function (FFF) assessments for I&C components.
Develop and review test procedures for component acceptance, periodic surveillance, and post-repair verification.
Ensure I&C components meet regulatory requirements, including those related to safety-related systems, single failure criterion, and independence.
Work with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and third-party vendors to resolve technical issues, obtain documentation, and support repair or redesign efforts.
Maintain and update technical specifications, equipment databases, and engineering manuals.

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Electrical, Computer or related field) from an accredited program.
Minimum 6 years of relevant job experience in nuclear or industrial I&C systems
Strong understanding of analog and digital electronics, power supply design, signal integrity, and embedded systems.
Familiarity with software configuration management, change control processes, and cyber security practices for digital systems.
Knowledge of nuclear regulatory requirements (10 CFR 50, 10 CFR 21, ASME NQA-1, IEEE standards).
Proficiency with test equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers) and diagnostic methodologies.
Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred or ability to obtain one.
Experience with DCS platforms such as Foxboro IA, Westinghouse WDPF, or GE Mark VI/VIe.
Understanding of software development lifecycle (SDLC) in safety-critical environments.
Experience with obsolescence management and reverse engineering of legacy circuit cards.
Familiarity with software version control systems (e.g., Git) in an industrial context.
Working knowledge of cybersecurity standards for nuclear I&C (e.g., NEI 08-09, NRC Regulatory Guide 5.71).
Experience with PLC programming (ladder logic, function block diagrams) and industrial control software (e.g., RSLogix, Unity Pro, WinCC).
