• Perform IC&E engineering functions, including supporting the development and implementation of process automation control to support the responsible engineer’s process control narrative and safety design approach.
• Support the responsible engineer in the development of equipment and instrumentation specifications to enable process control for tanks, vessels, valves, lines, and pumps based on process and operational needs as outlined by the responsible engineer.
• Support responsible engineers in the preparation of and maintenance of equipment and instrumentation lists and data sheets.
• Support the responsible engineer in working with the CAD design team to plan cabling, instrumentation and electrical/interface requirements on skid designs supporting process automation.
• Support the responsible engineer in interfacing with vendors and suppliers for procurement of equipment and instruments.
• Support the responsible engineer to develop the equipment commissioning plan, procedures and test documentation.
• Collaborate with the responsible engineer in coordinating with facility operations to implement, optimize and sustain TRISO fuel fabrication processes and associated control systems.
• Support responsible engineers in providing technical instrumentation oversight for fuel fabrication processes and identify opportunities for continuous improvement to improve safety, yield, reliability, maintainability, and operational efficiency. 
• Support responsible engineers in process hazard analyses (e.g., HAZOPs, What-If analyses) by participating in team-based, design and operational safety reviews.
• Support responsible engineers in troubleshooting of process upsets, instrumentation equipment failures and quality deviations during fabrication, commissioning and operations.
• Perform other duties as assigned. 

Qualifications 

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Instrumentation Engineering, or similar discipline or an equivalent combination of relevant education and experience may be considered. 
• 1+ years of experience performing duties as an IC&E engineer in a chemical, pharmaceutical, industrial, or manufacturing setting.
• Experience in reading and interpreting PFDs, P&IDs, equipment lists, and utility consumption lists.
• Experience working with hazardous processes and chemicals and implementing appropriate safety controls.
• Experience in commissioning new vendor supplied equipment, as well as being able to commission in-house designed equipment.

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities 

• Capability in using Cause-and-Effect (C&E) diagrams developed by responsible engineers, to inform controls sequencing.
• Ability to interpret CAD drawings to support IC&E design needs, in terms of cable routing.
• Proven team player with excellent verbal, written communication/presentation and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to work with highly collaborative teams.
• Being able to identify opportunities for improvement of existing equipment.
• Ability to support design reviews by comparing process design intent against mechanical designs and identifying installation, integration, operational, and maintenance interface considerations under guidance.  
• Familiar with process documentation, including PFDs and P&IDs, and how they inform industrial system operations and integration.
• Strong problem-solving and organizational skills, able to manage multiple priorities in dynamic environments while maintaining attention to detail.
• Ability to clearly document plans and effectively convey information across engineering, operations and leadership teams.
• Ability to be proactive and adaptable.
• Prioritizes and ensures safety of oneself and others.
