What this job asks for AI summary
This role leads electrical systems engineering and design coordination between TerraPower's nuclear island team and its EPC contractor for the Natrium advanced reactor project. The position owns design deliverables such as procurement specifications, single-line diagrams, and FMEA documents; provides technical oversight of supplier submittals; and manages cross-disciplinary interfaces across mechanical, nuclear, electrical, and I&C domains. It suits an experienced nuclear electrical engineer comfortable driving schedule and quality in a regulated environment.

Why we read it this way (6)
This role is fundamentally a nuclear electrical systems engineering position, not a standard computer/IT occupation. No SOC code in the available list cleanly fits a nuclear power plant electrical systems engineer; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest available code, but it is a poor match. The alt code 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is similarly imprecise — both are flagged for awareness.
The IEEE standards (308, 323, 344, 379, 383, 384, 741) are listed under 'Key Qualifications' with 'familiarity with' language, but they appear in the required qualifications block alongside the hard nuclear electrical systems experience requirement, so they are treated as required gates.
10 CFR 50 Appendix B and ASME NQA-1 are listed under 'Familiarity with implementing design control' in the required qualifications block and are treated as required.
ETAP, AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical, and SolidWorks are explicitly called out as 'desired but not required' and are marked as preferred accordingly.
The posting notes that 'actual position starting level and title will be determined based on assessment of qualifications,' indicating the title and level may shift at hire.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Nuclear plant electrical systems design, 10 CFR 50 Appendix B.
