Project Engineer - BREMERTON

The Project Engineer provides senior-level engineering leadership and technical expertise in support of the Commander, Naval Air Forces (CNAF) Aircraft Carrier Readiness Support (ACRS) mission. This position supports the CNAF CVN Readiness Operations Center (ROC) and associated Maintenance, Material, and Readiness Departments to ensure aircraft carriers are fully mission capable across all phases of the Optimized Fleet Response Plan (OFRP) and Global Maritime Response Plan (GMRP).

The Project Engineer applies advanced knowledge of marine electrical, electronic, and combat systems engineering to aircraft carrier readiness, maintenance, modernization planning, and execution. This role integrates engineering, logistics, configuration management, and data-driven readiness analysis to support USS Nimitz (CVN-68), USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) class carriers, and future CVN platforms.

• Provide professional engineering support in marine electrical, electronic, and combat systems for aircraft carrier readiness, maintenance, and modernization efforts.
• Lead and support integrated modernization and repair work package planning, including Life Cycle Maintenance Plans (LCMPs), Availability Work Packages (AWPs), and Ship Change Documents (SCDs).
• Conduct engineering studies, design reviews, feasibility analyses, and technical evaluations supporting CVN maintenance, modernization, and operational readiness.
• Support development and review of Justification Cost Forms (JCFs), Ship Alteration (S/A) records, man-day estimates, and production cost analyses.
• Provide engineering input to Refueling and Complex Overhaul (RCOH) planning, modernization execution, and inactivation availability coordination efforts.

• Support CNAF CVN ROC readiness assessments across Combat Systems, HM&E, Logistics, Manning, Training, Weapons, and Habitability/Livability.
• Track and assess system operational availability, identify readiness gaps, and provide corrective action recommendations.
• Support Carrier Readiness Calls (CRCs) and readiness briefings with accurate, data-driven engineering assessments.
• Apply data analytics and predictive modeling techniques to identify potential system failures, reduce unscheduled downtime, and improve mission capability rates.

• Support Configuration Data Management (CDM) activities, ensuring accuracy and currency of engineering and logistics data throughout the system lifecycle.
• Assist in maintaining and updating Life Cycle Resource Systems (LCRS) and other readiness and logistics databases (excluding restricted nuclear systems).
• Support Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) activities including system validation, logistics documentation, configuration reconciliation, and logistics training.
• Participate in CVN Integrated Product Teams (IPTs), logistics working groups, and readiness coordination forums.

• Support Fleet Modernization Program (FMP) planning, execution tracking, and lessons learned capture.
• Assist with modernization readiness monitoring, installation tracking, and Alteration Installation Team (AIT) oversight.
• Develop and review engineering graphics, technical manuals, specifications, and engineering reports supporting CVN availabilities.

• Ensure engineering activities comply with NAVSEA, CNAF, TYCOM, and OPNAV instructions, policies, and Authorized Data Lists.
• Support damage control programs, 8010 Industrial Ship Safety compliance, and fire safety readiness assessments.
• Ensure adherence to environmental engineering, hazardous material handling, and safety requirements.
• Perform all duties in accordance with contract restrictions related to nuclear propulsion systems and radiation-controlled environments.

• Provide technical oversight and mentoring to junior engineers and technical staff, as applicable.
• Coordinate engineering efforts across government stakeholders, ship’s force, maintenance activities, planning yards, and support organizations.
• Contribute to unified, fact-based…
