Position Title: Instrumentation & Controls Systems Engineer / Specialist

Work Location: Site IWTU

Shift Schedule: Monday Thursday 4x10s

Salary Grade: 15 Range: Min $73,075 Mid $91,055 Max $113,665

Position Purpose:

Provide Instrumentation and Controls System Engineering support to the
ICP Sodium Bearing Waste Integrated Waste Treatment Unit (IWTU). Apply
System Engineering concepts and principles to assigned system(s) through
design, construction, testing, start-up, and operations to assure
operability, safety basis compliance, and configuration management in
accordance with Company procedures and policies.

In general, serve as system engineer for (a) safety significant
structures, systems, and components (SSC) as defined in applicable
documented safety analysis (DSA), (b) SSCs that perform important
defense-in-depth functions, and (c) other SSCs when designated by line
management. Use an approach as provided by ICP procedures, that is
tailored to facility hazards and the SSCs relied upon to prevent or
mitigate those hazards, to applying the system engineering program
requirements to assigned SSCs.

Must be adept at troubleshooting all instrumentation and controls
equipment.

Minimum Qualification Requirements (Education/Experience):

10 years of experience as technician or specialist in Instrumentation
and Controls (I&C) is required OR a bachelors degree and two years of
experience.

Special Requirements/Training:

Strong I&C background along with experience with gas analyzer equipment
preferred.

1-year nuclear related experience preferred.

Position Responsibilities:

Use configuration management and related tools to ensure operational
readiness of assigned SSCs in accordance with facility requirements as
follows:

1. Compile and keep current SSC design basis documentation and
supporting documents through formal change control and work control
processes.

2. Identify key documents and identify or develop other documents to
support facility safety basis development and documentation.

3. Review assigned SSCs for operability, reliability, and material
condition, including assessment of an SSCs (a) ability to perform
design and safety functions, (b) physical configuration as compared to
SSC documentation, and (c) SSC performance in comparison to established
performance criteria.

4. Support SSC maintenance and repair when changes are made to assigned
SSCs by employing a formal change control process to ensure that changes
are not inadvertently introduced, and that required SSC performance is
not compromised;

5. Identify and justify preventive maintenance or a run-to-failure
strategy.

6. Ensure assigned SSCs are tested after modifications to ensure
continued capability to fulfill SSC requirements.

7. Provide input to the facility work plans as necessary to ensure that
assigned SSCs are maintained or upgraded to meet mission needs.

Maintain the integrity of assigned SSCs relative to the corresponding
facilities DSA. Provide overall technical cognizance of assigned SSCs
and provide for system engineering support for operations and
maintenance. Provide technical assistance in support of line management
safety responsibilities and assurance of continued SSC operational
readiness.

8. Ensure that the unreviewed safety question (USQ) process is applied
to assigned SSCs.

9. Ensure that SSC configuration is being managed effectively.

10. Identify, select, maintain understanding of, and ensure control of
the documents that comprise an SSCs technical baseline.

11. Remain apprised of operational status and ongoing modification
activities.

12. Assist operations review of key SSC parameters and evaluate SSC
performance.

13. Initiate actions to correct probl ms.

14. Remain cognizant of SSC-specific maintenance and operations history
and industry operating experience, as well as manufacturer and vendor
recommendations and any product warnings regarding safety SSCs in their
assigned SSCs.

15. Identify trends from operations.

16. Provide assistance in determining operability, correcting
out-of-specification conditions, and evaluating questionable data.
