Evaluate measurement performance including range, response time, and accuracy.
Technical Documentation & Design Deliverables
Develop and review engineering documentation including:
System Requirements Documents (SRDs)
System Design Descriptions (SDDs)
Interface Control Documents (ICDs)
Engineering Design Specifications
Develop drawing packages and system documentation including:
Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs)
Control system architecture diagrams
Control logic and loop diagrams
Instrument installation drawings
Generate integrated design packages for key systems and components.
Supplier & Project Support
Provide technical oversight and direction to I&C suppliers and subcontractors.
Coordinate deliverables and technical reviews with contract administration teams.
Support system integration activities and cross-disciplinary engineering coordination.
Cross-Discipline Integration
Integrate I&C design work with mechanical, electrical, and systems engineering teams.
Support licensing activities associated with Safety Analysis Reports.
Assist with planning and design activities for established systems and components.
Evaluate and manage engineering design changes and impacts to interfacing systems.
Engineering Leadership
Lead design of I&C and supporting electrical systems from functional requirements through final design.
Provide technical guidance to engineers regarding nuclear design standards and best practices.
