About this role
Oklo is transforming the future of energy, and we are looking for an experienced Instrumentation & Controls Engineer to lead and support the design, integration, commissioning, and operation of instrumentation and control systems for test platforms used in advanced nuclear technology development.
Responsibilities
- I&C System Design and Architecture: Develop control-system architectures, functional requirements, I/O strategies, network concepts, and interfaces for test platforms and supporting facility systems.
- Instrumentation Engineering: Select and specify instruments for temperature, pressure, flow, level, position, force, strain, vibration, and other process or test measurements.
- Evaluate accuracy, range, response time, environmental suitability, installation requirements, and measurement uncertainty.
- Control System Development: Develop, configure, and verify control logic, control modules, operator graphics, alarms, interlocks, permissives, sequences, and data-acquisition functions using distributed control systems, programmable logic controllers, and related platforms.
- Engineering Documentation: Prepare and maintain I/O lists, instrument indexes, data sheets, loop diagrams, wiring diagrams, control narratives, logic diagrams, network drawings, alarm setpoint documentation, test procedures, and as-built records.
- Test Platform Integration: Coordinate the integration of instruments, control panels, remote I/O, analyzers, control valves, electrical interfaces, industrial networks, and data systems with mechanical and process equipment.
- Commissioning and Verification: Develop and execute design-verification activities, factory and site acceptance tests, loop checks, functional tests, calibration reviews, control-system checkout, and startup plans.
- Test Operations and Troubleshooting: Support test readiness reviews and test execution.
- Diagnose instrumentation, controls, electrical, communications, software, and data-acquisition issues, perform root-cause investigations, and implement technically sound corrective actions.
- Procurement and Supplier Oversight: Develop technical specifications, evaluate vendor proposals, review supplier submittals, support procurement, and verify that equipment and services meet technical and quality requirements.
Preferred qualifications
- Strong familiarity with the Emerson Delta V distributed control system, including system architecture, controllers, I/O, configuration, graphics, alarms, control modules, batch or sequence functions, and troubleshooting.
