Instrumentation & Controls Design Engineer

Job Description

Teledyne Technologies Incorporated provides enabling technologies for industrial growth markets that require advanced technology and high reliability. These markets include aerospace and defense, factory automation, air and water quality environmental monitoring, electronics design and development, oceanographic research, deepwater oil and gas exploration and production, medical imaging and pharmaceutical research.

We are looking for individuals who thrive on making an impact and want the excitement of being on a team that wins.

Designs, develops, modifies and evaluates instrumentation and control (I&C) and electrical systems and equipment, components and instrumentation used in industrial applications. In particular this work will be working on the design of process systems, mechanical equipment, mechanisms found in nuclear power plants, commercial and government nuclear fuel enrichment and processing plants, chemical plants, refineries and power plants.

All work may be required to be completed per the requirements of ASME NQA-1, 10

CFR
50 and 10

CFR
21 so familiarity and experience working within the rigors of those QA standards is a plus. Position requires individual to determine design approaches and parameters and demonstrate a strong knowledge of engineering fundamentals and ability to apply those fundamentals.

Prepare design and procurement specifications, design basis documents, systems design descriptions, proposals, whitepapers, trade studies models, drawings including schematics, wiring diagrams, control logic diagrams and calculations.

Develop and give presentations (e.g. Power Point) to colleagues, customers and management.

Duties will be affiliated w/ motion control engineering and design, Control System Design, PLC Programming and HMI Development. Utilizing Rockwell Automation RSLogix/Studio 5000 will be required with this position. Experienced w/ Rockwell, Siemens or Honeywell.

Selects components and equipment based on analysis of specifications and reliability. May also review vendor capability to support product development. May use computer-assisted engineering, design and modeling software and equipment including MATLAB to perform assignments. Applies principles and techniques of electrical, mechanical, mechatronics and general engineering to accomplish goals. Will be required to demonstrate works on complex issues where analysis of situations or data requires an in-depth evaluation of variable factors.

Relies on extensive experience and judgment to plan and accomplish goals. A wide degree of creativity and latitude is expected to determine methods, techniques and evaluation criteria for obtaining results. May supervise the activities of others.

• Performs engineering, design and analysis related to the design, development, and implementation of instrumentation and control, electrical and mechanical systems and equipment used with and to support process, mechanical and electrical hardware systems, and equipment.
• Engineer and design Plant Computer Systems.
• PLC Programming using Rockwell Automation RSLOGIX/Studio 5000. Siemens SIMATIC Step 7 is a plus.
• HMI Development using Rockwell Automation RSLOGIX/Studio 5000.
• Prepare design and procurement specification, design basis documents, system description documents, white papers, trade studies and presentations. This requires strong technical writing and communication skills.
• Prepare proposals, scopes of work, cost and schedule estimates and basis of estimates.
• Prepare, control narratives and perform engineering associated with the development of functional control logic diagrams, block diagrams, wiring diagrams and schematics.
• Develops test strategies, devices, and systems.
• Prepare test plans and procedures.
• Plan and implement research methodology and procedures to apply principles of electrical theory to engineering projects.
• Analyzes equipment to establish operating data, conducts experimental tests and evaluates results.
