What this job asks for AI summary
This role owns the electrical requirements baseline for a nuclear microreactor's Instrumentation and Controls system — covering sensors, actuators, signal conditioning, power distribution, and all hardware/software interfaces. Responsibilities span writing decomposed, verifiable requirements; leading FMEA; authoring qualification and validation plans; maintaining interface control documents; and supporting NRC licensing submissions. It suits an experienced I&C or electrical systems engineer comfortable working at the intersection of hardware behavior, control software, and regulatory compliance.

The job posting does not specify a work location city or metro area; the CBSA fields are left blank. The company (Antares) appears to be a US-based startup but no office city is stated in this posting.
The title is presented as a range — 'Senior Electrical Systems Engineer' or 'Staff Electrical Systems Engineer' — with the actual level determined case-by-case. The salary range ($150K–$220K) spans both bands. Seniority is assessed as Senior based on the 7+ years requirement and scope; the Staff band is possible for candidates with broader organizational authority.
This role is primarily an electrical/I&C systems engineering role with a strong requirements-engineering and regulatory-compliance character. It does not map cleanly to a single SOC; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is used as the closest fit given the requirements-baseline, interface-control, and systems-integration focus, with 15-1299 as a runner-up. A non-tech SOC was considered but rejected because the role's core deliverables (requirements traceability, FMEA, software/hardware interface definitions) are technical in nature.
NQA-1, 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, AS9100, and IEC 61508 are listed together as examples of a 'formal quality program' under Basic Qualifications — they are treated as interchangeable alternatives for a single hard gate on formal quality program experience.
ITAR compliance is required; applicants must be US citizens, permanent residents, refugees, or asylees, or be eligible for the required export authorizations.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Requirements management, Validation and qualification planning.
