About the roleThe Staff Electrical Engineer will be a technical lead responsible for designing, analyzing, and maintaining complex electrical systems and components for nuclear power plants (operating or a new build) or advanced reactor projects. They will work with a multi-discipline team of engineers in the design, analysis, and evaluation of systems and components using engineering software, including support to lead engineers. They apply advanced engineering principles and engineering codes & standards, such as IEEE, to develop solutions that meet strict safety, regulatory, and quality standards. They will resolve technical issues for operating nuclear power plants, new plants, and other nuclear and non-nuclear projects. This role supports Corporate initiatives as well as ongoing construction projects.
Responsibilities- Design and analysis of electrical components and systems.
- Prepare engineering calculations (e.g., short circuit, arc flash, relay settings), drawings and specifications.
- Prepare or review engineering modification packages
- Provide technical guidance to junior engineering staff
- Diagnose electrical equipment failures, support root cause analyses, and implement corrective actions.
- Review vendor documentation and technical specifications.
- Participate in design reviews and technical meetings.
- Interface with engineers in other disciplines such as civil/structural, mechanical, and instrumentation and controls (I&C).
- Support the implementation of quality assurance and quality control programs.
- Prepare technical reports and documentation.
- Recommend equipment, develop new concepts and techniques to improve performance, simplify construction, reduce costs, correct design or material flaws, or comply with changes in codes or regulations.
Experience- Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Electrical Engineering from ABET Accredited University.
