Engineer - Systems

Opportunities are available in D429 for electrical system and component engineers. Successful candidates will be joining a strong and experienced engineering team in an exciting and fast-paced environment focused on designing power distribution, reactor plant, steam plant, and electric plant systems and equipment for the new COLUMBIA Class submarines.

D429 offers a unique engineering opportunity to work in any of a wide variety of electrical engineering concentrations (power generation and distribution, steam-plant and reactor-plant instrumentation & control, project management, etc.). D429 is comprised of a mix of experienced, mid-level, and entry-level engineers that focus on team building and knowledge-sharing.

The candidate would gain experience in construction support. They would experience the once-in-a-generation opportunity of building the first of a new submarine class.

Successful candidates will be responsible for all aspects of their assigned systems or components, which includes:

• Learning and understanding system/component operational needs
• Supporting the ongoing construction, testing, and time critical troubleshooting for the COLUMBIA Class submarine at the Electric Boat Quonset Point and Groton shipyards
• Defining and meeting functional and detailed requirements
• Performing required calculations and modeling
• Selecting standard components and subcomponents
• Overseeing development of system/component drawings and change products
• Supporting development of associated technical documentation, including manuals, operating instructions, repair parts lists, preventative maintenance specifications, etc.
• Managing all system and component interfaces including electrical, structural, piping, and mechanical
• Supporting 3D model development and arrangement of systems and components
• Overseeing subcontractor designs, manufacturing, testing, and qualification
• Obtaining customer approval of designs and requirements via formal correspondence
• Some overtime and travel may be required

Electric Boat offers Flexible Work Arrangements that allows some work to be performed remotely and s varies from position to position based on the amount of classified material the department interacts with, as well as a few other variables. Please ask for more details on how it applies to this opening during discussions with the department.

Required

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Energy Systems Engineering, Power Engineering, or Physics
• 0-5 years’ post-graduate engineering experience

Preferred

• Nuclear Propulsion Plant experience

Ideal candidates for D429 possess a diverse knowledge of electrical engineering concepts, excellent written and verbal communication skills, and a strong drive to meet requirements on schedule and budget with a focus on achieving the highest quality. This is your opportunity to contribute to the design and construction of the next generation of submarines.
