Description

About the role The Electrical, Controls & Instrumentation Engineer will be a founding member of our hardware team, responsible for owning electrical and I&C systems on our reactor from napkin sketch to first-of-kind build. You will design it, build it, test it, and make it better — and you'll be in the facility doing it. What you'll do Own the full lifecycle of electrical, controls, and instrumentation systems: architecture, detailed design, build, test, commissioning, and iteration Design and build control systems for reactor and balance-of-plant components including sensors, actuators, signal conditioning, and PLCs/DCS hardware Lead electrical builds hands-on — wire panels, assemble racks, terminate instrumentation loops, and work alongside technicians on the shop floor Define and enforce production processes, build procedures, and quality standards for all electrical and I&C scope Develop and maintain electrical schematics, loop diagrams, P&IDs, cable schedules, and panel layouts in CAD/EPLAN or equivalent Drive schedule and throughput on electrical hardware — identify risks early, solve problems fast, and keep builds moving Specify, procure, and qualify electrical components and instrumentation; own the BOM and supplier relationships Collaborate closely with mechanical, thermal, and nuclear engineering teams to integrate electrical systems into the overall reactor design Establish and continuously improve manufacturing and assembly processes to scale from prototype to production Support safety analysis, design reviews, and regulatory documentation for I&C systems Qualifications Basic qualifications: Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related discipline 3+ years of hands-on experience designing and building electrical systems, control panels, or instrumentation — not just simulating or spec'ing them Demonstrated experience with controls systems (PLC, DCS, SCADA, or custom embedded hardware) Strong working knowledge of industrial instrumentation: thermocouples, RTDs, pressure transducers, flow meters, level sensors Proficiency with electrical design tools (EPLAN, AutoCAD Electrical, or equivalent) and ability to produce production-ready drawings Preferred qualifications: Experience in aerospace, oil & gas, or other high-consequence industries with strict quality and documentation requirements Hands-on experience building and commissioning first-of-kind electrical systems in a fast-moving R&D or startup environment Familiarity with IEEE, ISA, NEC, and/or nuclear I&C standards (IEEE 603, ISA-84, etc.) Experience owning production schedules and driving hardware through manufacturing milestones Track record of reducing build time and improving quality through process improvements Prior experience in a vertically integrated hardware company where engineers build what they design Candidates only, no recruiters or agencies please.

Responsibilities

This role involves owning the full lifecycle of electrical, controls, and instrumentation systems for a reactor, from initial design and architecture through build, test, commissioning, and iteration. Responsibilities include designing and building control systems, leading hands-on electrical builds, defining quality standards, and developing essential engineering documentation.
