Instrumentation and Control (I&C) Engineer

Job Description

Activities to be carried out as part of the service:

▪ System design and system integration into overall HPC design:

o Produce, Review and update the system documentation for operator instructions, human machine interface, safety and environmental, control logic design, as well as periodic testing in compliance with the engineering rules, methodologies, quality processes, and tools

o Particularly for Instrumentation and Control, performing the analysis for defining the Instrumentation and Control (I&C) Functional Requirements of the system and production of the I&C logic :

▪ Defining the I&C Functional Requirements

▪ Drafting Detailed Functional Diagram

▪ Writing of the Functional Test Procedure

▪ Testing the I&C logic and feeding results back into specification

▪ Definition and description of human machine interface (alarm sheets, operating images, operating procedures)

o Interface closely with the System Engineers responsible for the mechanical design of the systems, to ensure global consistency of the systems and their operations.

o Analysis and verification of input data, requirements, and lessons learnt from other stations

o Engage proactively with all stakeholders around the system in Edvance to ensure the delivery of a product meeting the requirements set by all disciplines (layout, civil, hazard, nuclear safety, environment, configuration management, procurement …)

o Contribute to topics around good practises, innovration, improvement of processes, and quality

o Participate in experience sharing activities within the discipline

▪ Management of configuration related to the system including:

o Managing requests for modifications to system(s) issued by various external parties by producing specifications and following engineering cycle (I&C design changes specifications)

o Analysis and verification of the applicability of these modifications and challenging them as appropriate (support design stability approach)

o Developing technical solutions and presenting them to internal or external stakeholders / the client to help resolve technical issues (technico-economic optimisation approach)

o Utilising the electronic databases supporting configuration management

▪ Support handovers to detailed designers or customers:

o Liaising with other stakeholders through participation at kick off meetings, gate reviews etc relevant to the system.

o Producing and updating process diagrams with all relevant design changes for handovers with detailed designers
