• Working knowledge of IEEE nuclear standards (e.g., IEEE 308, 323, 344, 384, 603) and NEC/NFPA 70 requirements
• Experience developing or reviewing electrical engineering calculations, design change packages, and technical basis documents
• Familiarity with Class 1E electrical system design requirements and nuclear QA program requirements (10 CFR 50 Appendix B)
• Proficiency with electrical analysis tools such as SKM Power*Tools, ETAP, or equivalent software
• Strong technical writing and communication skills
• U.S. citizenship required (position supports work subject to U.S. national security requirements)

Preferred Qualifications

• Professional Engineer (PE) license in Electrical Engineering
• Experience supporting NRC inspections, license amendment requests (LARs), or safety evaluation reports (SERs) related to electrical systems
• Familiarity with uranium enrichment facilities, gaseous diffusion or centrifuge technology, or nuclear fuel cycle operations
• Experience with digital I&C systems and cyber security requirements for nuclear applications (10 CFR 73.54)
