I&C Manager

Description

The Instruments and Controls (I&C) / Electrical Engineering Manager oversees the design, development, procurement, and testing of the systems used to control and monitor processes and to provide power for the SHINE medical isotope production facility. Working under the direction of the Director of Engineering, the I&C/Electrical Manager leads a team of I&C and electrical engineers responsible for control strategies, control system hardware and software, instrument selection, and electrical power distribution for the molybdenum-99 production facility, which is an NRC-regulated facility.

The following functions are essential to this position. An employee in this position must be able to perform each essential function satisfactorily, with or without reasonable accommodation. This list is representative and not exhaustive.

• Hire, develop, and lead a team of highly skilled I&C and electrical engineers focused on the control systems, instruments, and power supply design and installation for the SHINE molybdenum-99 production plant.
• Mentor engineers in the technology, decision making, and ownership of the I&C equipment for which they are responsible.

• Determine and document the safety classification of I&C and electrical equipment, and ensure designs satisfy the applicable independence, physical separation, redundancy, and single-failure criteria for safety-related and safety-significant functions.
• Own design change control and configuration management for I&C and electrical systems, including evaluation of proposed changes against the licensing basis and routing changes that require prior regulatory approval through the licensing organization.
• Oversee software quality assurance for digital I&C, including verification and validation, configuration control of firmware and application software, and factory and site acceptance testing of vendor-supplied software.
• Evaluate I&C and electrical deviations, failures, and vendor notifications for reportability, and support the corrective action program through cause evaluation, corrective action ownership, and operating experience review.

• Lead the interfaces between the I&C team and its stakeholders, collaborating with project managers and other functional managers to develop coherent project requirements, plans, schedules, and budgets aligned with strategic priorities.
• Maintain the team budget and schedule, keeping a detailed plan that accurately predicts milestones and resource loading.
• Drive decisions on vendor requests, changes, and updates to equipment and programming.

• Oversee the development of digital and analog control systems, including distributed control systems (DCS), programmable logic controllers (PLC), and data acquisition systems (DAQ), by performing reviews of vendor deliverables. Some control systems will reside in radiation areas.
• Work collaboratively with other engineering disciplines to select instruments that measure process variables in the process systems in the SHINE facility.
• Oversee and update instrument specifications, calculations, and test plans to support the design, new construction, testing, commissioning, in-field troubleshooting, and operation of the future SHINE medical isotope production facility.

• Work with vendors and construction to oversee installation of systems that provide power to plant equipment via the normal power supply and the uninterruptible power supply.
• Oversee the design and implementation of instrument and electrical cable routing, conduit and raceway design, installation drawings, and loop…
