Entry Level Engineer- Systems - Hull Planning Yard

General Dynamics Electric Boat, the nation's premier designer and builder of nuclear submarines, is seeking Entry Level Engineers to join the Life Cycle Support (LCS) organization’s D495 Hull Planning Yard engineering team.

D495 is a multi-disciplined engineering department (fluids, mechanical, structural, and components engineering) providing modernization and engineering support for in-service submarines in the US Navy including OHIO, VIRGINIA, and SEAWOLF Classes in all non-reactor plant areas of the ship. D495 provides direct support to the commissioned submarine fleet on a daily basis through various means. These include, but are not limited to, evaluation of existing non-conformances and development of new capabilities, supporting selection and procurement of replacement material and equipment, and providing expertise for problem resolution.

Successful candidates will be responsible for various activities required to maintain and enhance the current submarine fleet. Specific responsibilities include providing technical guidance in response to emergent requests, reviewing technical drawings and developing supporting engineering calculations, and independently managing their projects’ schedules.
