GE Hitachi Nuclear - Engineer - Plant I&C Systems Design

Job Description Summary

Focus in both reactor protection safety-related (S-R) {Safety Class 1 (SC1)}, augmented quality or regulatory treatment of non- safety systems (RTNSS) {SC2} or plant investment protection (PIP) {SC3}, and nonsafety-related balance of plant (BOP) systems for; advanced light water reactor (ALWR), advanced liquid metal reactor (ALMR), or advanced high temperature gas reactor (AHTGR) for commercial nuclear power plants and test facilities.

Job Description

Responsibilies:

• Identify, develop, evaluate, introduce, and manage engineering solutions for instrumentation and control (I&C) systems.
• Apply control theory, mathematical modeling, and simulation to design control systems with desired behaviors including; control logic functionality across modes of operation, setting of boundaries, optimization, closed loop or feedback control algorithms, sensors, hardware and software development, and understanding complex systems or systems.
• Prepare designs for; 1) reactor protection systems S-R or SC1 [e.g.; neutron monitoring (NMS), reactor trip (RTS), emergency core cooling (ECCS), engineered safety features (ESF), isolation functions], 2) augmented quality assurance or RTNSS or SC2 [e.g.; diverse actuation or protection, reactivity control rod, steam bypass and pressure], 3) PIP or SC3 systems [e.g.; anticipatory trip (ATS), feedwater level, reactor water cleanup / shutdown cooling, fuel and auxiliary pool cooling, leak detection and isolation], and 4) BOP NSR systems [e.g.; service water, instrument air, AC or DC electric loads, diesel generators, heating ventilation air conditioning (HVAC)].
• Prepare and maintain using data-centric digital tools with rigorous requirements, change control, and configuration management:

• Static documents or; reports, specifications, databases, tabular lists of; functions, algorithms, set points, equipment and instrument characteristics and configurations, electrical and heat loads, physical layout or placement in rooms, buildings, structures,
• Static diagrams or drawings of; context, functional block, sequential flow, ladder logic, digital logic, inter-connection wiring, electrical schematic, data communication and networking,
• Dynamic physics based and logic simulation design and analysis models.

• Bachelor of Science in Engineering for Electrical, Mechanical, Nuclear, Computer Science or Technology, Software or Systems or Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics
• some previous experience including internship in heavy industries such as; nuclear, power, process, marine, oil & gas, military, aerospace, medical, or pharmaceutical.
• some previous experience including internship preparing system design requirements, specifications, documentation, and related detailed design artifacts using digital tools such as; drawings, databases, tabular lists covering functions, algorithms, set points, equipment and instrument characteristics and configurations, electrical and heat loads, physical equipment layout.
• some experience including internship preparing diagrams using digital tools such as; context, functional block, sequential flow, ladder logic, digital logic, inter-connection wiring, electrical schematic, data communication and networking as well as physics based algorithm development plus simulation and modeling.
• experience with excellent PC as well as productivity software [e.g.; Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Project, Visio].
