• Confirm the systems meet requirements specific to the nuclear power plant industry (10 CFR 73) to ensure our systems meet regulatory compliance, high-reliability, and long-term operability.
• Assist with Creating Network Designs; integrating hardware, software, communications, sensors, actuators, and HMIs into cohesive system solutions.
• Assist with providing technical written and verbal direction to vendors, integrators, and internal development teams.
• Author, maintain, and control System Documentation related to the system designed.

Development & Implementation Support

• Support system development activities including configuration definition, design reviews, and technical baseline control.
• Participate in FAT, SAT, installation oversight, and system commissioning.
• Assist to resolve technical issues identified during integration, testing, or operational use.
• Support lifecycle activities including upgrades, modifications, and obsolescence management.
