This role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information. If applicable, final offers will be contingent on ability to obtain authorization for access to U.S. export-controlled information from the U.S. Government. ## Description * Architectural Governance: Enforce integrated technical standards and design patterns, ensuring consistency across all project-level controls strategies. * Systemic Integrity Oversight: Provide an overarching technical safety lens. While Project Engineers (PEs) manage individual delivery, you ensure that technical safety and reliability margins remain uncompromised throughout the lifecycle of complex, multi-discipline integrations. * Complexity Management: Act as a technical authority for "high-risk/high-complexity" integration scenarios that require navigation beyond standard procedures. * Strategic Interface & Requirements: Own the "glue" between requirements. Define how overlapping value streams interact to ensure that technical dependencies are transparent, traceable, and validated for quality. * Technical Enablement: Audit verification / validation (V&V) frameworks and mentor technical leads to foster a culture of rigorous, unified systems engineering. Roles and Responsibilities: * Define System Standards: Establishan integration framework for control system requirements, architecture, and V&V methodologies for the Nuclear fleet. * Strategic Technical Advisory: Provide high-level guidance during critical project phases (ITO, EKO, Factory Customer Witness, and Site Commissioning), specifically targeting the resolution of cross-functional design gaps. * Drive Design Cohesion: Partner with Value Stream owners to dissolve silos between Turbine, Mechanical, Generator, Electrical, HMI/Cyber and distributed plant controls domains.Align with Engineering Design Packaging team to deliver integrated solutions that interface well to customer systems * Regulatory & Safety Advocacy: Represent the business as an expert regarding nuclear safety-critical design standards; influence product roadmaps to ensure compliance with the evolving global regulatory landscape. * Influence-Based Leadership: Mentor and develop the engineering pipeline. Champion a "System-Level Mindset," ensuring every engineer understands their contribution to the broader nuclear plant operational profile. ## Related Videos - [Model Based Systems Engineering in an Agile Product Development Process](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/68-model-based-systems-engineering-in-an-agile-product-development-process) - [What makes Cybersecurity different for critical infrastructure?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/571-what-makes-cybersecurity-different-for-critical-infrastructure) - [AI Agents & Agentic AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2017-ai-agents-agentic-ai) - [ShapeShift: Reinventing Agile for a B2B SaaS Scale-Up](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1655-shapeshift-reinventing-agile-for-a-b2b-saas-scale-up) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [Navigating the Corporate Jungle: Life as a Developer in a large Company](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/621-navigating-the-corporate-jungle-life-as-a-developer-in-a-large-company) ## Related Articles - [What’s the Difference between a Junior, Mid, and Senior Developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/238-what-s-the-difference-between-a-junior-mid-and-senior-developer) - [How to Write a CV and Interview if You Don't Fully Qualify For The Job](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/183-how-to-write-a-cv-and-interview-if-you-don-t-fully-qualify-for-the-job) - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Now is the time for industrialized software development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/601-now-is-the-time-for-industrialized-software-development) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence)
