About this role
I&C Principal Engineer leading technical evaluation, design, and implementation of nuclear plant uprate initiatives at Westinghouse. Manage feasibility studies, system evaluations, and detailed design to safely increase generation capacity. Requires 8+ years of nuclear plant I&C experience, expertise in instrumentation and control systems, power system analysis (ETAP), and regulatory compliance (NRC, FERC, NERC, IEEE).
Responsibilities
- Lead engineering efforts for plant uprate projects, including feasibility studies, system evaluations, and detailed design
- Serve as primary technical authority on uprate strategies, methodologies, and system impacts
- Perform and review instrumentation calculations for transmitter sizing, measurement range determination, and total loop uncertainty under uprated conditions
- Lead technical reviews of transmitter applications and installations, ensuring proper selection of sensing technologies and compliance with design codes
- Evaluate and validate flow measurement calculations including differential pressure sizing and beta ratio selection
- Review and approve instrument setpoints and scaling changes required for uprate operation
- Support control system impact evaluations including instrument loop response, stability, and control logic interactions
- Provide oversight for instrumentation documentation including data sheets, loop diagrams, and calibration procedures
- Develop and review engineering calculations, analyses, and design modifications
- Evaluate plant systems across disciplines and identify required upgrades for uprate implementation
- Ensure compliance with NRC, FERC, NERC, and IEEE regulatory frameworks
- Support licensing submittals and regulatory interactions
- Identify risks related to uprate and system modifications
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship across electrical and instrumentation engineering disciplines
Preferred qualifications
- PE license or ability to obtain
- Experience with plant uprates or major capacity increases (EPU, MUR, or similar)
- Expertise in instrument uncertainty, setpoint methodologies, and flow measurement
- Nuclear industry uprate experience
- Familiarity with control systems and process automation platforms
