Join the Fusion and Modular Nuclear Business Unit! Provide technical expertise across the lifecycle of Electrical Systems for the SMR nuclear power plant. This covers the delivery of the complete design of the Electrical systems, spanning system architecture, sub-system design and equipment specification and design/selection to realise the final verified design of the power station. You will do this by working closely with the engineering teams from across the power station and applying a structured systems engineering approach to design.

Your mission:

• Reviews and agrees high level electrical requirements including their testability.
• Analyses and translates high level requirements into a validated design for the electrical system/component.
• Captures applicable design constraints (must meet conditions) and quality attributes (may be traded) that apply to the system/component.
• Captures requirements/constraints in line with the project’s processes for management of interfaces and requirements (e.g., requirements captured in IBM DOORS).
• Designs and implements electrical designs to meet design inputs.
• Works with the Verification team to define verification activities.
• Analyses electrical designs for functional behaviour, which may include modelling and simulation to demonstrate that the design meets the high-level requirements.
• Develops and reviews electrical tests that will provide evidence to demonstrate that the electrical requirements have been satisfied.
• Participates in and supports capacity planning and the development of long-term strategic goals for the team, in conjunction with managers.
• Identifies and mitigates risks.
• Develops, implements, documents, and maintains policies, procedures, associated guidelines, tools, and training as required.
• Develops the knowledge required to provide advice/support to project teams and/or integrated product teams (IPT).
