Job description
What You will Do:
This role is a digital tool development lead in Plant Instrumentation & Control (I&C) Systems team, supporting our customer GE Hitachi Nuclear. Leads preparation and implementation of a software-based engineering data management program used to consolidate design basis records including inputs, outputs, cabinet wiring, functions, and setpoints for distributed control and information systems (DCIS) installed in nuclear facilities. This role is a key member of a cross-functional team including I&C engineering and IT development teams. This role supports architecture and design activities including validating engineering data structures, workflows, and system outputs accurately reflect source design documentation.
What You Will Bring:
Remain current in the state of the art within own technical specialty for new products introduction activity, performance improvements, cost reductions and problem resolutions
Support other GE businesses, supplier, and internal / external customers
Serve as a recognized leader in defining the state of the art in own technical specialty in order to anticipate, develop and apply technology to current and future business opportunities
Provide engineering support, within ones specialty, to teams working on performance, cost reduction and quality initiatives
Leverage expertise to resolve problems in the field or during the manufacturing processes
Make recommendations after analysis of the data using quality tools
Protect the Intellectual Property rights of the Company
Function as program manager when appropriate
Provide technical guidance and mentoring to less experienced engineers
Develop and implement training modules as necessary
Additional Essential Responsibilities:
Support the architecture, design, development, and ongoing operation of a database-driven engineering data management tool used to consolidate I&C system design basis records for reactor instrumentation & control systems
Serve as a technical liaison between the I&C engineering team and the software development team, helping translate engineering data requirements into validated system design and database records
Assist with defining, testing, and validating data structures, business rules, and workflows within a Microsoft SQL Server-based system
Perform QA/QC reviews of database content, configuration, and outputs to verify accuracy of I&C design data against source engineering documents
Support the development, documentation, and maintenance of processes, procedures, and guides for populating and maintaining the design basis database across the project lifecycle
Participate in testing (unit, integration, user acceptance) of new features and enhancements to the database and web-based user interface
Support development of training materials and provide guidance to end users (I&C engineers) on tool usage and data entry standards
Interpret applicable nuclear regulatory requirements and industry standards to help ensure the database/tool design supports compliant configuration control
Partner with IT, software development, and other engineering disciplines to align on requirements, priorities, and release planning
Participate in Agile/Scrum/Kanban ceremonies, representing engineering stakeholder ("the Customer") interests to the software development team
Support the development and maintenance of plans, schedules, and budgets for sub-projects that interface with this program
Candidate Qualifications:
Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, or Computer Science
Minimum of 5 additional years of experience in an engineering position
Bachelors Degree in Engineering, Information Technology, or equivalent technical discipline.
Experience with control systems, instrumentation, or IT cabinet wiring, including familiarity with wire lists, runlists, and cabinet/panel configuration documentation
Required: Hands-on experience with Microsoft SQL Server (or equivalent RDBMS) database design, querying, and data validation
Working understanding of software development practices and the software development lifecycle (SDLC)
Ability to analyze technical specifications and design documentation to validate data accuracy and completeness
Ability to work effectively across disciplines and contribute as part of a larger, cross-functional team
Ability to manage multiple tasks and deliverables on a compressed contract timeline
Nuclear industry experience preferred
Familiarity with NRC, DOE, DHS, IEC, ISO, or CNSC regulatory requirements preferred
Desired Qualifications:
Strong oral and written communication skills
Strong interpersonal and leadership skills
Demonstrated ability to analyze and resolve problems
Ability to document, plan, market, and execute programs
Demonstrated leadership in advancing the state of the art in a technical specialty
Experience working as a liaison between engineering and software development teams
Familiarity with front-end/web UI applications and design methods
Familiarity with DCIS or similar automation platform design (i.e., Mark VIe, Siemens S7, Ovation)
Familiarity with Agile/Scrum/Kanban methodologies, particularly from an engineering "customer"/stakeholder role
Familiarity with GitLab or similar tools for requirements management and deployment tracking
Experience authoring or executing test cases, validation protocols, or traceability records
Familiarity with the use of AI in product/software development
Strong attention to detail and comfort reviewing large data sets for accuracy
Proficient in MS Office tools
Ability to ramp up quickly and work independently in a short-term contract capacity
