Meet HII’s Newport News Shipbuilding
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.

We collaborate together at the forefront of technology, manufacturing, and integration of the most powerful and survivable naval ships in the world.

This requisition is for an engineering manager position in the Propulsion & Reactor Engineering Planning Yard responsible for the design, maintenance, overhaul and modernization of Nimitz Class and Ford Class propulsion plants. The manager will lead a group of engineers responsible for reactor plant structures and shielding in support of the operational readiness of the aircraft carrier fleet and delivery of new construction ships through adjudication of urgent requests for engineering support.

Major duties will involve managing engineers performing dynamic structural shock analyses utilizing finite element analysis methods, performing hand calculations using textbook methods, developing engineering calculation reports, and approval of these analysis products. In addition, the engineering group will be responsible for fleet support duties for the development of Ship Alterations, Nuclear Liaison Inquiries and submittal letters to Naval Reactors and the Naval Nuclear Laboratory.

The group will also collaborate closely with the Design Disclosure organization checking product model and drawing products to ensure technical requirements are accurately conveyed to our customers.

Bachelor's Degree and 6 years of progressive technical experience in research, engineering and design;
Master's Degree and 4 years of relevant experience.

Newport News Shipbuilding requires a Bachelor's Degree in engineering from an ABET accredited program.

The ideal candidate will have extensive technical leadership and project management experience, advanced problem-solving abilities related to Construction and Fleet-Support for Navy vessels and a proven record of resolving complex problems with minimal supervision. Must be able to establish and maintain good working relationships with our upstream (NAVSEA and NNL) and downstream (various shipyard departments) customers. Therefore, excellent verbal and written communication skills are necessary along with experience interfacing with US Government customers, the NNS shipbuilder, and ship maintenance activities such as public Naval Shipyards.

Experience with structural design and maintenance of US Navy ships, including shock and vibration analysis of equipment foundations on US Navy ships, is preferred. A strong understanding of structural dynamics and stress analysis processes (using both finite element and text book methods), with an emphasis on the Dynamic Design Analysis Method and the shock requirements governed by the…
