• Resolve cross-discipline requirements and design conflicts.
• Coordinate interfaces among I&C subsystems and other plant systems.
• Maintain traceability among requirements, design outputs, engineering changes, and verification evidence.
• Evaluate engineering changes for impacts on requirements, interfaces, architecture, configuration, and verification.
• Lead selected design-integration and verification activities.
• Identify technical risks and develop mitigation recommendations.
• Develop and evaluate alternatives for resolving complex engineering issues.
• Review systems engineering products prepared by other engineers.
• Coach and provide technical guidance to less-experienced engineers.
• Work with project organizations, customers, suppliers, and engineering disciplines on assigned technical matters.
• Support development of technical scopes, schedules, estimates, and proposals.

• Experience coordinating technical activities across multiple engineering disciplines.
• Experience resolve many-sided engineering problems.
• Experience reviewing engineering products for technical quality and completeness.
• Experience guiding and supporting less-experienced engineers.
• Experience communicating technical issues, alternatives, and recommendations to project partners.

Meritorious qualifications

• Nuclear industry experience.
• Digital I&C modernization or new-plant I&C experience.
• System architecture and interface-management experience.
• Verification and validation experience.
• Design-integration or technical-coordination experience.
• Engineer-in-Training certification or Professional Engineer license.
