This role offers a hybrid work arrangement. You'll spend three days a week in the office, giving you the flexibility to work remotely for two days.

This position will offer you the opportunity to work in a project team environment with other engineers and designers involved in the design, modification, and analysis of instrumentation and control systems in new and existing power plants. You will work on interesting and challenging projects that include investigating, trouble-shooting, and solving a wide variety of electrical controls engineering issues, including the following:

• Digital Systems Design Development -- PLC, DCS, Touchscreens, network switches , and control systems
• Functional requirement and procurement specifications for control systems
• Mechatronics, control systems for pumps, valves, heat exchangers, steam turbines and reactors to improve the functionality of the nuclear power plant
• Critical digital asset cyber assessment and assessment review
• Client meetings and site walkdowns to validate scope and ensure client satisfaction
• Assist the project manager/director to ensure projects are completed satisfactorily, on time, and within budget
• Prepare and review detailed calculations, including scaling, uncertainty, and setpoint calculations for digital and analog controls applications
• Interface with vendors to perform document reviews and prepare equipment purchase specifications
• Prepare reports and studies that present technical information in a clear and concise manner to meet client requirements
• Perform independent reviews of work performed by others, including design documentation, specifications, calculations, and drawings
• Enhance your career via participation in professional Communities of Practice
• Provide guidance as a mentor in the development of less experienced engineers

We do not sponsor employees for work authorization in the U.S. for this position.

• BS or MS in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering from an ABET accredited program
• Five or more years of experience in I&C Design Engineering.
• Experience with the selection of equipment, control philosophy, and the preparation and assembly of design packages, calculations, and specifications
• Experience with controls system design including applications for equipment such as turbines, pumps, feedwater controls, and data displays
• Experience with serving as the firm's client liaison in a support or lead engineering role
• Experience in reviewing design documentation
• PE license is preferred

In this role, we expect people to be willing or able to lead others who use modern tools:

• You are expected to lead others in taking engineering problems from issue to solution by setting expectations for using data and modern tools such as automation and AI to improve workflows, reduce rework, and deliver cost-effective designs.
• Leaders in these roles often direct automation and process-improvement work, for example, how teams automate calculations, summarize technical documents, or generate design documentation and guiding when and how AI or agentic AI tools are used while ensuring results are checked.
• Overseeing engineers who program or script (e.g., Python, MATLAB, advanced Excel) to automate engineering tasks, with review of automated outputs, is valued but not required.
• We also value additional learning, such as a minor, certificate, or other experience in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, or related fields that enables effective oversight of automation and agentic AI-enabled engineering workflows.
