Job description

JOB SUMMARY/PURPOSE

Central Design Engineering provides high-quality, cost-effective, on schedule design services for the Entergy Nuclear Fleet. Central Design Engineering is responsible for providing requested modification packages to the Nuclear Fleet. Modification design control is maintained through effective configuration management of design output documents (e.g., specifications, calculations, drawings, test requirements, and procedures).

JOB DUTIES/RESPONSIBILITIES

Prepare cost-effective modifications as assigned to improve plant performance and reliability. Prepare engineering products consistent with defined standards, procedures, and regulatory guidelines to ensure the site’s design and licensing basis is maintained. Assist in the solutions to issues that impact safe, reliable operations and propose process changes that improve overall efficiency. Provide technical support to operations, maintenance, engineering, and other fleet organizations. Manage engineering work assignments to ensure the design service provided is meeting department and organizational needs. Communicate to all levels of the organization, verbally and in writing, technical information, concepts, and ideas throughout the engineering product development. Attend training and maintain the qualifications necessary to perform the required group functions. Evaluate the effect of radiated emission for both electromagnetic and radiofrequency emissions on plant equipment. Evaluate the susceptibility of plant components and devices to electromagnetic and radiofrequency emissions. Implement configuration controls for electrical systems and components. Conduct licensing activities such as 10CFR50.59 reviews, ensuring electrical-specific considerations are applied. Coordinate electrical design activities with plant simulator personnel to ensure effects are reflected accurately on the plant reference simulator. Evaluate the effects of plant design changes on simulator operation, fidelity, configuration and certification. Determine preventive and predictive maintenance requirements for systems and equipment. Test and validate systems and components. Develop system and component life cycle strategies and plans. Develop design inputs. Ability to manage multiple complex projects.
