Full Job Description
Position Overview We are seeking an experienced Instrumentation and Control (I&C) Engineer to develop, implement, integrate, test and verify instrumentation and control solutions based on an established I&C architecture, functional system requirements, and design principles. This role focuses on translating approved system-level and functional requirements into detailed I&C designs, including hands-on control logic execution, PLC/DCS programming, I/O definition, sensor selection, hardware and software integration, requirements traceability, and field commissioning. The engineer will work under the technical direction of the Principal I&C Architect and will contribute to the evolution of the I&C architecture through detailed engineering, analysis, design development, and identification of technical issues and design gaps.

Key Responsibilities
  • Translate system-level and functional requirements into detailed I&C subsystem and component designs.
  • Develop and maintain I&C design documentation and ensure full requirements traceability.
  • Implement detailed I&C functions, control logic, and platform configurations.
  • Select, specify, and integrate I&C hardware, instrumentation, and controllers.
  • Perform subsystem-level analyses such as FMEA and support reliability and safety evaluations.
  • Support verification, validation, testing, and commissioning activities.
  • Coordinate cross-disciplinary interfaces, support licensing and safety activities and drive issue resolution.

Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Control Systems Engineering, or related technical field.
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in digital I&C platforms (such as PLC, FPGA, DCS, SCADA, or embedded control system), including configuration, programming, control logic development, and hardware implementation in regulated environments.
  • Experience performing or supporting failure analysis, FMEA, testing, verification and validation, including development of test procedures and resolution of design/test issues.
  • Proficiency with hardware and software integration across electrical, mechanical, and safety system boundaries.
  • Familiarity with cybersecurity implementation practices for industrial control systems.
  • Strong problem-solving, analytical, and troubleshooting skills.

Preferred Qualifications
  • 7+ years hands-on experience.
  • Experience in the nuclear industry.
  • Experience with FPGA-based or digital safety/protection systems, PLCs, DCS, SCADA, or other highly reliable control platforms.
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license or working toward licensure.
  • Experience with project and contract management.

What We Offer
  • A collaborative engineering culture focused on innovation and technical excellence.
  • Opportunities for mentorship, professional growth, and technical leadership.
  • The opportunity to contribute to a cleaner, more reliable energy future.
  • Competitive medical, dental, vision and life insurance with generous company contributions.
  • Company 401(k) plan with 5% match.
  • Unlimited PTO policy with company holidays and paid parental leave.

Salary range and levels for this role:
  • Level III: Typically, five years of experience in an engineering role required.
  • Level IV: Typically, ten years of experience in an engineering role required.

Level III: $120,000- $145,000; Level IV: $145,000- 170,000
