### Systems Engineer – TPI

TerraPower Isotopes (TPI) is seeking a Systems Engineer to support the development and delivery of systems and facilities for the Alpha2, Alpha5, and/or Alpha30 projects. This position will coordinate the technical definition, integration, and verification of assigned systems throughout their lifecycle, from requirements development and conceptual design through commissioning and operational turnover.

The Systems Engineer will work across engineering disciplines, project management, Quality, Operations, and external partners to ensure assigned systems meet their intended functions and integrate effectively with the broader facility. This role will maintain requirements, system boundaries, interfaces, design bases, and configuration information, while supporting technical reviews, engineering change control, and resolution of cross-functional issues.

### Responsibilities

### System Definition and Requirements Management

• Develop and maintain requirements for assigned systems, translating stakeholder needs, process objectives, and applicable constraints into clear, measurable, and verifiable engineering requirements.

• Allocate requirements to subsystems and equipment in coordination with engineering discipline leads and responsible design engineers.

• Maintain traceability among requirements, design outputs, and verification evidence.

• Develop and maintain system descriptions, functional breakdowns, system boundaries, operating modes, and design bases.

• Identify and document assumptions, constraints, and unresolved technical questions; coordinate their resolution as the design matures.

• Evaluate requirements for completeness, consistency, and feasibility, identifying gaps or conflicts early.

### Technical Integration and Interface Management

• Serve as the technical integration point for assigned systems, coordinating contributions from process, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and controls, nuclear containment, and facility engineering.

• Define and maintain interfaces between systems, equipment, utilities, facility infrastructure, and digital and control systems.

• Develop interface documentation and coordinate agreement on interface requirements, responsibilities, and acceptance criteria.

• Work with Operations, maintenance, Quality, and safety stakeholders to incorporate operational, maintainability, and lifecycle needs into system design.

• Coordinate technical inputs from external engineering firms and equipment suppliers, ensuring their deliverables align with system requirements and interface expectations.
