Description
power modeling
system design
feed design
digital tools
supplier testing
risk analysis
The position focuses on the analytical aspects of plant electric power distribution systems (EPDS) design for advanced nuclear reactors such as BWRX‑300 and Natrium, covering safety‑related and non‑safety systems. Work includes AC and DC power networks, interfacing to switchyards, grids, and turbine islands, and integrates components from generators to protective relays.
The role leads the full engineering lifecycle—from front‑end engineering design (FEED) through detailed design—using data‑centric digital tools, physics‑based simulation (e.g., ETAP), and rigorous configuration management. Collaboration with multidisciplinary teams ensures functional, performance, reliability, availability, and maintainability goals through FMEA, PRA, and other modern techniques.
- Identify, develop, evaluate, and manage engineering solutions for EPDS
- Apply electrical circuit theory, electromagnetic modeling, and simulation to optimize power flow and system coordination
- Design AC/DC systems and components such as generators, transformers, switchgear, protective relays, and UPS
- Support customer applications for plant‑to‑grid connection and design protection/control interfaces
- Lead design phases from FEED through detailed design using digital tools and simulation models
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to achieve RAM goals using FMEA and PRA
- Lead regulatory certification, procurement packages, and supplier hand‑off for system components
- Oversee supplier deliverables, test plans, and integration testing including factory and site acceptance
- Perform optioneering and trade‑off studies for technical risk and cost optimization
- Prepare detailed work plans, budgets, and schedules; ensure deliverables are on‑spec, on‑budget, and on‑schedule
- Support LEAN, continuous improvement, and cost‑out initiatives
- Provide leadership and mentorship, championing nuclear culture and safety
