Responsibilities
You are knowledgeable concerning the applicable industry and nuclear standards. You should also be familiar with the nuclear industry standard design process, independent design verification, and several other important areas, including preparing stand-alone electrical calculations, preparing procurement specifications, and 10CFR50.59
We expect the candidate to know and provide expertise with molded case circuit breakers and motor starters. Additionally, they should be familiar with thermal overloads, low voltage power breakers and switchgear, and medium voltage power breakers and switchgear. Their expertise should also include industrial battery chargers, industrial inverters or UPS, and 125Vdc battery systems. Furthermore, they have knowledge of Emergency Diesel Generators (EDGs), large dry type or oil filled transformers, main generators, and voltage regulators, etc
Experience with ladder logic and electrical schematics is highly preferred but not required. Additionally, we prefer experience with NSCA/safe shutdown analysis, as outlined in Appendix R/NFPA 805. Furthermore, proficiency in power systems analysis, including load flow, short circuit analysis, arc flash, and coordination studies, is a plus. Familiarity with computational tools like ETAP, EDISON, and others is also desirable
Candidates experience should mostly be in the power systems engineering area and not Instrumentation and Control. Or experience related to sensors, analog or digital electronics and cyber security
Candidates shall have at least 12 years of collective nuclear experience in US nuclear power plants (exclude international experience). We do not consider experience in other industries to be nuclear experience. These industries include fossil (oil/gas) power plants, wind, solar, geothermal, transmission/distribution, oil and gas, petrochemical
We also prefer candidates who have prior experience as a cognizant/oversight engineer or in engineering project management, but we do not require it. However, you have more design/project engineering than project management related experience
Candidate will expect to prepare or review/verify design output documents (i.e. design changes, calculations, specifications) that we develop internally
