System One is seeking a highly motivated Instrumentation & Control (I&C) System Design Engineer for a 12-month remote contract position supporting advanced nuclear technologies.

This role offers the chance to work on next-generation reactor systems alongside a high-performing, cross-functional engineering team.

As an I&C System Design Engineer, you will be responsible for system design, prototype development and testing, plant-level system integration, and commissioning.

The role requires collaboration with internal and external engineers, scientists, and technical specialists to advance state-of-the-art instrumentation and control systems for advanced nuclear applications.

Key Responsibilities:


+ Develop I&C systems and subsystem functional requirements through final design.



+ Oversee and review system- and component-level specifications, scopes of work, and technical deliverables.



+ Create and manage drawing packages, including P&IDs, control system architecture drawings, loop diagrams, and instrument installation drawings.



+ Prepare and review technical documentation such as System Requirements Documents, System Design Descriptions, Interface Control Documents, and Engineering Design Specifications.



+ Analyze and apply nuclear codes, standards, and regulatory criteria to I&C designs.



+ Provide technical oversight for suppliers, ensuring quality deliverables and adherence to design requirements.



+ Collaborate with procurement, licensing, safety analysis, and PRA teams for cross-functional design integration.



+ Support continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to enhance design processes and apply nuclear industry best practices.



+ Specify instrumentation measurement techniques for advanced reactor and high-temperature systems, evaluating accuracy, range, and response time.



+ Interface with licensing activities and Safety Analysis Reports.




Qualifications:


+ B.S. or higher in Controls, Electrical, or related engineering discipline.



+ 18+ years of direct experience in instrumentation and controls systems (advanced degrees may count toward experience).



+ Proven track record in I&C development, diagnostics, and implementation.



+ Prior experience with nuclear reactor safety systems or nuclear instrumentation design.



+ Familiarity with applicable nuclear quality standards (e.g., 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, ASME NQA-1) and IEEE standards (379, 603, 7-4.3.2, 497).



+ Experience with high-temperature (400°C+) process design preferred.



+ Knowledge of process flow diagrams (PFDs), piping & instrument diagrams (P&IDs), and CAD tools such as AutoCAD or SolidWorks preferred.



+ Strong technical writing, communication, and presentation skills.



+ Ability to work independently and lead design efforts with minimal supervision.



+ Experience with I&C system startup testing procedures a plus.




Desired Additional Experience (2+ years in one or more):


+ Radiation Monitoring

+ High-Temperature Sensor Design

+ Seismic Detection and Trip Systems

+ Neutron Detectors

+ Setpoint and Uncertainty Analysis


Work Conditions:


+ Remote position with minimal travel (0–5%).



+ Standard office work environment with extended computer use.



+ Ability to sit or stand for long periods and safely lift up to 25 lbs.




This is an exciting opportunity to contribute your expertise to the advancement of cutting-edge nuclear technology in a collaborative and innovative environment.
