ATS provides world-leading automation tooling to the nuclear energy sector for new reactor builds, refurbishment, operations and maintenance.

About the Role

As a Intermediate Systems Design Engineer II– Nuclear, you will play a key role in the design and delivery of complex, high-reliability engineered systems supporting advanced nuclear and regulated industrial applications. Working as part of a multidisciplinary project team, you will help translate customer and regulatory requirements into robust system designs, gaining hands‑on exposure to the full system lifecycle—from early concept development through detailed design, integration, testing, and commissioning.

This role offers the opportunity to develop a deep understanding of customer processes and technology while contributing to solutions where safety, quality, and performance are critical.

This position is well suited for an mid‑career engineer who is eager to grow technical depth and systems thinking capability in a highly collaborative environment. You will be supported by experienced engineers while progressively building ownership of system requirements, technical risk mitigation, and verification activities. Through direct involvement in design reviews, analysis, proof‑of‑principle testing, and on‑site support, you will develop into a trusted technical contributor and subject matter expert, helping deliver innovative, compliant, and reliable systems that make a real‑world impact.

Supports the Development of System Requirements Definition and Verification

• Development, documentation, and maintenance of system‑level requirements, including functional, technical, and regulatory requirements.
• Support requirements flow‑down to subsystems, components, and third‑party equipment under the guidance of senior engineers.
• Participate in requirements verification planning and execution, including analysis, testing, and inspection activities.
• Preparation and execution of acceptance testing activities such as proof‑of‑principle testing, factory acceptance testing, and site acceptance testing.
• Evaluate design outputs (drawings, calculations, specifications, and test results) for conformance to defined requirements.
• Preparation of technical documentation such as verification matrices, test plans, and acceptance test reports.
• Identification and mitigation of technical risks through structured problem‑solving and design validation activities.

Subject Matter Expertise

• Learn and develop an understanding of customer processes, system functionality, and applicable nuclear and industrial standards.
• System‑level and component‑level analysis and calculations, such as functional capability, accuracy, structural considerations, pressure/flow, heat transfer, and reliability, as applicable.
• Preparation of technical studies, calculations, and design assessments to support system performance and compliance.
• Development of risk assessments, including Failure Modes and Effects Analyses (FMEAs) and Safety Risk Assessments.
• Proof‑of‑principle studies and hands‑on testing to validate design assumptions and reduce technical risk.
• Develop familiarity with applicable codes, standards, quality requirements, and regulatory expectations relevant to nuclear and high‑reliability systems.
