Role Summary / Purpose

We are seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented Systems Engineer to support the design, integration, and testing of the NUMAC (Nuclear Measurement Analysis and Control) platform used in safety-critical nuclear applications. This role involves full lifecycle systems engineering, including requirements development, design verification, integration, and regulatory compliance in alignment with nuclear industry standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyze system-level and subsystem-level requirements based on safety classifications and project scope.

• Decompose customer requirements and ensure full traceability.

• Develop system architecture diagrams, interface definitions, and functional flow models specific to NUMAC implementations.

• Collaborate with hardware and software teams to translate requirements into NUMAC configurations.

• Review NUMAC logic diagrams, signal flow documentation, and I/O mappings.

• Ensure redundancy, diversity, and failsafe principles are integrated into system design.

• Prepare and maintain design specifications, interface control documents, and traceability matrices.

• Ensure adherence to nuclear standards (e.g., IEEE 603, NQA-1, 10 CFR 50 App B).

• Support design reviews, hazard analysis (FMEA/FTA), and resolution of technical issues.

• Support or lead development of test procedures for FAT, SAT, and V&V activities.

• Execute formal test campaigns, ensuring results are traceable to system requirements.

• Troubleshoot integration issues, validate logic performance, and assist with corrective actions.

• Participate in NUMAC module integration with plant systems.

• Support commissioning, configuration validation, and system turnover documentation.

• Provide technical support during installation, commissioning, and operational phases.

• Interface with project teams, customers, and regulators.

• Contribute to lessons learned and continuous improvement for future projects.

• Support audit readiness and compliance documentation.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, or related field.

• 10+ years of systems engineering experience, preferably in the nuclear or safety-critical domain.

• Familiarity with digital I&C platforms (such as NUMAC).

• Strong knowledge of systems engineering lifecycle and V&V methodologies.

• Excellent technical writing, documentation, and communication skills.

Preferred: Prior nuclear industry experience.
