We offer you the opportunity to utilize and expand your academic background in engineering by digitizing nuclear power plants:
- Work on a multi-discipline engineering team involved in nuclear power plant instrumentations and controls betterment projects. These projects are a synergistic integration of both electrical and mechanical engineering along with control theory.
- Work with electronic process sensors, digital controllers, touchscreen displays, pumps, valves, heat exchangers, steam turbines and reactors to improve the functionality of nuclear power plants.
- Prepare functional requirement and procurement specifications for instrumentation and controls equipment.
- Prepare I&C engineering calculations
- Prepare documentation for design input for drawing production including cable block diagrams and schematics.
- Provide guidance as a mentor in the development of less experienced nuclear instrumentation and control design engineers.
- Through mentoring, classroom-style technical sessions, and on-the-job training, you will increase your knowledge and skills in your engineering discipline.
- Travel to client and vendor offices for design reviews and to plant site locations for project coordination and field verification of designs.
QualificationsWe do not sponsor employees for work authorization in the U.S. for this position.- A BS or MS degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Chemical Engineering (from an ABET accredited program) with a strong academic background and coursework in analog and digital control systems is required
- A minimum of 3 year of engineering experience or a MS degree.
- Coursework in mechatronics is desired, but not required
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
AI & Automation at Sargent & LundyIn this role, we expect people to be willing or able to solve problems using modern tools:
- You are expected to take engineering problems from issue to solution using data and modern tools such as automation and AI to improve workflows, reduce rework, and deliver cost-effective designs.
- Many engineers in these roles build or use automation to create calculations, summarize technical documents, or draft design documentation, including appropriate use of agentic AI tools, with strong engineering judgment and verification of results.
- Programming or scripting (e.g., Python, MATLAB, advanced Excel) to automate calculations, design checks, reporting, or data transformation is valued but not required.
- We also value additional learning, such as a minor, certificate, or other training in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, or related fields that helps you apply automation or agentic AI to real engineering problems.
