The role involves collaboration with cross‑functional teams including facility design, unit process equipment design, and licensing.
Applicants may have a background in instrumentation and controls, electrical, chemical, or process engineering.
Specific Responsibilities
Develop systems that meet facility and regulatory requirements
Develop and document overall control philosophy – define key control variables, setpoints, and rationale to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient process operations
Prepare and review control system documentation – including instrument loop drawings, logic drawings, cause-and-effect matrices, and interlock schemes
Define and manage control and alarm strategies – establish alarm priorities, setpoints, and functional descriptions to support operator awareness and system safety
Design and specify control system architecture – covering hardware, software, and network requirements for distributed control systems (DCS), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and human-machine interface (HMI) applications
Generate technical documentation to be included in regulatory filings
Qualifications
Degree in Chemical or Electrical Engineering or similar
10+ years of experience in process controls engineering or similar field
Bonus Qualifications
Experience with nuclear fuel cycle and/or high-temperature/-corrosion facilities and operations
Experience with control narratives/philosophies, piping and instrumentation diagrams, interlock lists, instrument specifications, and instrument set points
Experience designing, managing, commissioning, and operating DCS, PLC, alarm, safety, and HMI systems
Experience leading or serving as a subject matter expert in process hazard analysis studies
Experience deploying or working on first-of-a-kind or pilot plants
Commercial or governmental nuclear industry experience
About Oklo Oklo Inc. is developing fast fission power plants to deliver clean, reliable, and affordable energy at scale; establishing a domestic supply chain for critical radioisotopes; and advancing nuclear fuel recycling to convert nuclear waste into clean energy.
