Principal Nuclear Instrumentation & Controls Engineer – Hardware

Qualification

The role spans the full domain neutron flux detection, radiation monitoring, reactor protection system sensors and signal chains, and process instrumentation in nuclear service, but at the level of measurement architecture, application and qualification strategy, and design authority rather than routine design execution; Author and own the discipline's philosophy and basis documents: instrumentation design basis, signal chain design philosophy, setpoint and uncertainty methodology basis, and the environmental and radiation qualification program basis that constrain and guide all downstream instrumentation engineering; Own the instrumentation application strategy for first-of-a-kind reactor conditions: technology and vendor selection across available detector and sensor platforms, application-specific qualification strategy, standardization across the plant and future units, and supply continuity and obsolescence strategy for critical instruments; Evaluate emerging, commercially maturing measurement technology, advanced detectors, distributed and optical sensing, digital signal processing platforms, and decide what is adopted into plant design, what is piloted, and what is excluded,
