Job Family Description

Engineering roles perform engineering work in operations, production, construction, or maintenance environments. They may design and scale up manufacturing processes, instruments and equipment and tests manufactured products to maintain quality. They may plan, design, and estimate time and cost and oversees construction and maintenance of structures, facilities, systems, and components. They analyze and develop solutions to engineering problems related to manufacturing equipment and systems or the causes of component failures. They develop and apply engineering standards and procedures and provide advice on issues within the engineering field.

Discipline Description

Electrical/Instrumentation and Controls (I&C) engineers provide engineering support for electrical and/or instrumentation systems in an operating nuclear materials processing plant or as part of the broader site infrastructure. Electrical/I&C engineers identify system concepts and determine system functional and technical requirements, develop, and analyze equipment performance, monitor system performance, troubleshoot, and resolve problems and ensure operation within technical, regulatory and safety basis requirements. They propose and develop process/system improvements including equipment upgrades, and plant modifications.

Some Typical Duties & Responsibilities Include:

* Knowledge of distribution systems with voltages ranging from 120V to 13.8kV, transformers and switchgear.
* Knowledge of electrical National Codes and Standards such as NFPA 70/70E and IEEE
* Electrical system protection, coordination curves, load studies, and arc flash analysis.
* Hands-on electrical design validation and Verification experience.
* Low and medium voltage experience developing system repair designs, system calibration, and installation plans.
* Experience in low to Medium Voltage Industrial Power Systems with voltage of 480V through 13.8kV.
* Experience providing oversight, design, planning, troubleshooting, and maintenance of low and medium voltage systems infrastructure such as distribution cables, control systems, protective relaying, transformers, switchgear, substations, breakers, motor control centers, alarms, and overall system coordination.
* Experience performing modeling and simulation for power systems and short circuit analysis using simulation software platforms (e.g., ETAP).
* Others include lighting design, uninterruptible power systems, vessel heaters and heat trace, lockout/tagout, relay control systems, variable speed drives, diesel generators and automatic transfer switches, harmonics, and their effects on electrical systems.
