Instrumentation & Controls Engineer Nuclear

Sargent & Lundy
Chicago, IL

Description

This is a hybrid position with the ability to work from our Downtown Chicago Office (3 days a week) and remotely (2 days a week).

Nuclear Power is a carbon-free energy source. Our nuclear power generation clients are digitizing their existing power plants and building new nuclear power plants, small modular reactors (SMR) due to the increasing demand for electric power. This is expanding our work in the Instrumentation and Controls Engineering group. Due to this influx of work, Sargent & Lundy has a need for additional I&C Engineers.

We offer you the opportunity to utilize and expand your academic background in engineering by digitizing nuclear power plants:

  • Work on a multi-discipline engineering team involved in nuclear power plant Instrumentation and Controls projects. These projects are a synergistic integration of electrical, computer and mechanical engineering along with control theory.
  • Work with electronic process sensors, digital controllers, network topology, touchscreen displays, pumps, valves, heat exchangers, steam turbines and reactors.
  • Prepare specifications for the procurement of instrumentation and control equipment as well as engineering calculations.
  • Through mentoring, classroom-style technical sessions, and on-the-job training, you will increase your knowledge and skills in your engineering discipline.
  • Travel to client and vendor offices for design reviews and to plant site locations for project coordination and field verification of designs.

Qualifications

We do not sponsor employees for work authorization in the U.S. for this position.

  • A BS or MS degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Chemical Engineering (from an ABET accredited program) with a strong academic background and coursework in analog and digital control systems is required
  • A minimum of 1 year of engineering experience or a MS degree.
  • Coursework in mechatronics is desired, but not required
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
