With more than 25,000 employees – including third-, fourth- and even fifth-generation shipbuilders – HII’s Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) division is the largest industrial employer in Virginia. We’re the sole designer, builder and refueler of U.S. Navy nuclear aircraft carriers and one of two providers of U.S. Navy nuclear submarines. Our diverse and innovative team of professionals ranges from skilled trades to project managers, engineers and software developers to solution architects, technical subject matter experts, and system users.

Anchored in our rich, 135-year history, we collaborate together at the forefront of technology, manufacturing, and integration of the most powerful and survivable naval ships in the world. Want to be part of the team? Apply today! We look forward to meeting you.

Applies electrical, electronic and mechanical principles to components and systems, including assembly, analysis, and documentation of results; construction of developmental assemblies, sub-assemblies and components; and quality testing. Supports and participates in the design, test, modification, fabrication and assembly of prototype electromechanical systems.

The primary role of this position is the development and deployment of robotics and automation solutions for Newport News Shipbuilding naval construction projects. In this role, you will design, develop, integrate, plan, prototype, research, test, and troubleshoot robotic and manufacturing automation solutions for component fabrication. Additional industrial applications include, but are not limited to, structural fabrication and assembly, material movement and warehousing.

You will create motion and process programming for robotic and automated manufacturing systems. You may also create robotic and automation simulations to assist with throughput and business case analysis. In addition, you might design and create new robotic tooling systems and develop process parameters to improve robot and automation capabilities. You will be expected to perform complex analysis, concept development, design, and prototyping of robotic and automation solutions for shipyard manufacturing applications.

You will translate design intent from product models and technical disclosures to automation of manufacturing processes. You will need to understand production processes, downstream material requirements, and evaluate if the performance of the production processes achieves design intentions. You will diagnose and troubleshoot production line faults and be familiar with object-oriented programming. You will create engineering reports, presentations and documents, and work across multiple engineering and technical domains: including vendors, trades, management, senior leadership, and other engineering groups.
