Job Description

Position Title: I&C Human Factors Engineer

Position Description: Protingent Staffing has an exciting contract I&C Human Factors Engineer opportunity.

Job Responsibilities:

Responsible for interfacing and supporting geographically diverse and international design team members to develop supporting design documentation. The design team members include in-house and subcontracted resources and may include partner/customer resources as well.
Conduct and oversee task analyses for displays, controls, to develop the strategy for monitoring, control, and protection functions for various plant systems.
Collaborate and oversee system communication and implementation of HSI Design requirements
Collaborate with Operations and Engineering for input on HFE tasks analysis and screen development.
Lead design of I&C systems and sub-system functional requirements through final design.
Validate the HSI aligns with the simulator, plant operating, abnormal, surveillance, and emergency procedures
Interface with a team of internal and external customers, suppliers, partners, licensing, and regulatory authorities on technical issues.
Provide direction to team members and assist the I&C Programs Manager with oversight of team members and suppliers.
Develop and review system- and component-level specifications and scopes of work.
Perform engineering and design evaluations in the application of nuclear codes and standards, licensing requirements, and NRC regulations.
Analyze and apply regulatory criteria and standards to complex I&C system design.
Develop and review technical design documents, such as System Requirements Documents, System Design Descriptions, Human Factors Analysis, User Interface Specification (UIS), etc.
Provide technical direction and oversight of supplier projects, working with the contract administrator to ensure delivery of data and other deliverables to meet Company requirements, as well as coordination and performance of technical reviews of deliverables.
Develop and maintain UIS and data connection mappings so that instrumented parameters and controlled components are correctly allocated to displays and controls across panels and VDUs, consistent with the reactor HSI design process
Work with PRA/HRA engineers to develop scenarios for Human Reliability Analysis (HRA) that involve digital HSIs and I&C system responses
Support continuous learning and application of nuclear industry best practices to maintain the highest quality of engineering design and proactively identify process change/enhancement opportunities.
Collaborate between I&C engineering, HFE, plant operations/maintenance, and licensing to ensure HFE requirements are properly implemented in vendor I&C designs, documentation and licensing submittals regarding HSI design, function allocation, and HF considerations.
Contribute to internal design reviews, design change evaluations, and OE reviews where HFE or I&C HSIs are impacted.
Interface with and support licensing activities associated with Safety Analysis Reports.
Support design, planning, and execution of HFE V&V and Integrated System Validation (ISV) per the reactor HFE V&V Execution Plan.

Job Qualifications:

M.S. or PhD Degree in Human Factors, Industrial Engineering or equivalent or 8+ years' experience in Operations and Controls, Electrical, Computer, or Systems Engineering
5+ years of experience in I&C engineering for complex processes or nuclear systems, including design of digital control / monitoring systems and HSIs
At least 3 years' cumulative experience applying HF principles to human-computer interfaces (control room or comparable process control environments), and workplace / workstation / panel design (layout, reach, visibility, maintainability),
Familiarity with nuclear-relevant HF and I&C standards and guidance, such as:
- NUREG-0711, NUREG-0700
- MIL-STD-1472
- IEEE 845, IEEE 1289, IEEE 2411
- ANSI/ANS-3.1
