Instrumentation & Controls (I&C) Human Factors Engineer – Advanced Nuclear

System One is hiring an I&C Human Factors Engineer to support a cutting-edge advanced nuclear program. This role focuses on integrating Human Factors Engineering (HFE) into digital control systems and human-system interfaces (HSIs) for next-generation reactor technology.

Responsibilities

• Lead integration of Human Factors Engineering (HFE) into digital I&C systems and HSIs
• Design and support development of control room interfaces, displays, and control systems
• Apply HF principles to workstation, panel, and control room design (layout, reach, visibility, maintainability)
• Support I&C system design from requirements through final implementation
• Develop and review technical documentation (requirements, design descriptions, HFE analyses, UI specs)
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, operations, safety, and licensing teams
• Support validation activities including HFE V&V and Integrated System Validation (ISV)
• Ensure compliance with nuclear regulatory standards and design requirements
• Participate in design reviews, change evaluations, and system integration efforts

Required Qualifications

• M.S. or PhD in Human Factors, Industrial Engineering, or related field
  OR 8+ years of experience in Operations & Controls, Electrical, Computer, or Systems Engineering
• 5+ years of experience in I&C engineering for complex or nuclear systems
• Experience designing digital control/monitoring systems and Human-System Interfaces (HSIs)
• 3+ years applying Human Factors principles to:
  • Human-computer interfaces (control room or process environments)
  • Workstation/panel design (layout, reach, visibility, maintainability)
• Experience in I&C development, diagnostics, and implementation
• Demonstrated ability to design and deliver industrial I&C platforms

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with nuclear HF and I&C standards:
  • NUREG-0711, NUREG-0700
  • MIL-STD-1472
  • IEEE 845, IEEE 1289, IEEE 2411
  • ANSI/ANS-3.1
  • 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, ASME NQA-1
• Experience with nuclear plant operations, procedures, or HFE reviews
• Exposure to P&IDs, process systems, or control system integration

What We’re Looking For

• Strong technical documentation and communication skills
• Ability to work across multi-disciplinary engineering teams
• Detail-oriented with a focus on quality and compliance
• Self-starter capable of managing multiple priorities in complex environments
