Category Engineering, Project Position Type Full-Time Location Type Onsite Posted Salary Range USD $99,000.00 - USD $134,000.00 /Yr. Why This Role Is Critical We are looking to hire a highly motivated I&C Safety System Software Engineer who develops, implements software used in safetyrelated digital instrumentation and control (I&C) systems for commercial nuclear power plant modernization projects. This role ensures that software meets stringent functional safety requirements, complies with nuclear regulatory standards, and integrates seamlessly with systemlevel architectures. The engineer supports the full software lifecycle-from requirements and design through implementation, IV&V, configuration management, and licensing documentation. Key Responsibilities Approve safetycritical software for digital I&C platforms used in reactor protection, engineered safety features actuation, and other safetyclass functions. Translate system and regulatory requirements into detailed software requirements, design specifications, and implementation plans. Implement software using approved development tools and methods appropriate for safetyclass applications (e.g., structured programming, formal methods, modelbased development). Define software architecture definition, including redundancy, determinism, diversity, and failsafe behavior. Oversee software engineering test activities. Ensure compliance with nuclear and safetycritical software standards such as

IEC 60880, IEC 62138, IEEE 74.3.2, IEC 61513, IEEE

1012and applicable NRC regulatory guidance. Review and approve lifecycle documentation, including requirements traceability, and configuration records. Collaborate with system architects, hardware engineers, cybersecurity specialists, and licensing teams to ensure integrated, licensable solutions. Develop hazard analyses, FMEA, and software contributions to the safety case. Support customer interactions, audits, and regulatory reviews related to software design and qualification. Contribute to continuous improvement of software development processes, tools, and quality practices. What You'll Do Day-To-Day

• Works from detailed programming specifications, designs, modifies, develops, writes and implements software-programming applications.
• Participates in the testing process through test review and analysis, test witnessing and certification of software.
• Supports and/or installs software applications/operating systems.
• Manages installation and configuration of complex suites third-party applications.
• Provides resolution to a fundamental problem or seizes an opportunity that improves the satisfaction of a customer, user or provider.
• Explains the financial impact of a solution or a decision to assist customers in complying with budget requirements.
• May take ownership of solutions deployed in a global environment. Ownership = operational leadership, strategic leadership, responsible for creating and defending software design, technical leadership within a task or project that changes the software, interface with IT, vendor/consultant/subcontractor/customer management.
• May provide supervision and guidance to less experienced Software Engineers.

What You'll Bring Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field. Minimum of 7 years of related experience is required. Equivalent work experience may be considered in lieu of degree. Experience developing software for safety critical or regulated environments (nuclear, aerospace, medical, rail, or industrial control). Understanding of deterministic real time software behavior, embedded systems, and safety critical design principles. Familiarity with nuclear digital I&C standards and regulatory expectations for safety class software. Proficiency with programming languages and tools used in safety critical development (e.g., C, C++, structured languages, model based tools, static analysis tools). Experience with requirements engineering, traceability, and configuration management. Experience with digital safety platforms (e.g., FPGA based systems, safety PLCs, or certified DCS platforms). Knowledge of cybersecurity requirements for nuclear digital systems (e.g., NEI 08 09, RG 5.71). Experience supporting licensing submittals, audits, or regulatory inspections. Familiarity with model based systems engineering (MBSE) and formal verification methods.
