• Develop digital systems design – PLC, DCS, HSI, networked computer systems.
• Prepare control system functional and implementation requirements and procurement specifications for nuclear plant control systems.
• Interface with the client to ensure proper project execution and client satisfaction.
• Prepare and review technical reports, calculations, and studies to present information clearly and concisely to meet client requirements.
