Location: Remote (Yearlong Contract)

System One is seeking a highly motivated I&C Design Engineer for a yearlong remote contract position. In this role, you will support Sodium Fast Reactor technologies, taking ownership of the instrument and control system design, prototype development and testing, plant-level system integration, and commissioning. You will interface with a diverse team of scientists and engineers both internally and externally to our client. You will also be responsible for identifying, specifying, and integrating custom instrumentation with advanced control systems for Generation IV nuclear reactor technologies.


Key Responsibilities:



Interface and collaborate with geographically diverse, international design team members to develop supporting design documentation. This includes both in-house and subcontracted resources and may involve partner/customer resources.
Lead the design of I&C and supporting electrical systems from functional requirements to final design.
Develop and review system- and component-level specifications and scopes of work.
Perform engineering evaluations in accordance with nuclear codes, standards, licensing requirements, and NRC regulations.
Provide technical direction and guidance on applicable nuclear and non-nuclear design standards.
Specify and assess instrumentation measurement techniques for use in sodium fast reactors and integrated energy storage technologies, including evaluating measurement range, response time, and accuracy.
Analyze and apply regulatory criteria and standards to complex Instrumentation and Control system design.
Develop and review technical design documents, such as System Requirements Documents, System Design Descriptions, Interface Control Documents, and Engineering Design Specifications.
Create and manage drawing packages for system and sub-system designs, including P&IDs, control system architecture diagrams, control logic and loop diagrams, and instrument installation drawings.
Generate integrated design packages for key systems and sub-systems.
Oversee supplier projects, ensuring deliverables meet our client's requirements, and coordinate technical reviews of deliverables.
Support continuous learning and apply nuclear industry best practices to maintain high-quality engineering design, proactively identifying opportunities for process improvements.
Integrate I&C with work from other engineering disciplines, scientists, and subject matter experts.
Interface with and support licensing activities, including contributing to Safety Analysis Reports.


Key Qualifications and Skills:

B.S. or higher in Controls, Electrical, or a related discipline from an accredited university, with 6+ years of direct experience in instrumentation and control systems. Higher education may contribute to years of experience.
Proven experience in the development, diagnostics, and delivery of industrial I&C platforms, including reporting data accordingly.
Previous experience with nuclear reactor safety systems or nuclear instrumentation systems is desired but not required.
Familiarity with IEEE and IEC standards is a plus.
Experience with nuclear power plant quality assurance (e.g., 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, ASME NQA-1) is a plus.
Experience designing and operating high-temperature processes (400 -C and higher) is desired but not required.
Ability to manage projects with multiple competing objectives and resolve conflicts between design constraints.
Experience with industrial process flow diagrams (PFD) and piping & instrument diagrams (P&ID) is desirable.
Proficiency with CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD Standard, AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks) is a plus.
Excellent technical writing, communication, and presentation skills.
High attention to detail with a commitment to technical excellence.
Ability to be a self-starter, capable of leading a design team with minimal direction.
Ability to work on multiple tasks that require a multi-disciplinary approach.
Experience with formal I&C system startup testing procedures is a plus.
The successful candidate will possess a high degree of trust and integrity, communicate openly, and demonstrate respect for teamwork.
