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.
