About The Position

Seeking a highly-skilled Electrical Engineer to support as a Cognizant System Engineer/Technical Authority for assigned systems. In this role, you will coordinate configuration management activities, assess system health and performance, and provide overall technical responsibility for plant system operability and maintenance activities. Works in conjunction with the Configuration Management program for the assigned system(s). Prepares configuration control/design change packages for tasks; evaluates the impact of proposed changes and/or modifications to approved safety authorization bases for facilities; and performs troubleshooting and improvement activities. Applies the systems and equipment expertise needed to resolve technical system and equipment issues in cooperation with other related disciplines. Technical Scope & Operational Support: The successful candidate will be responsible for executing technical support that includes the characterization of electrostatic discharge (ESD), electromagnetic radiation (EMR), and lightning hazards. Operating under stringent conduct of operations, engineering, and maintenance protocols, candidates will be implementing Department of Energy requirements for electrical equipment used in hazardous areas through analysis, documentation, and configuration management of proposed equipment. Candidates will also characterize electrostatic discharge (ESD), electromagnetic radiation (EMR), and lightning hazards to sensitive electronic components, and develop mitigating controls to reduce or eliminate hazards in order to support plant operations.
