Engineers apply the theories and principles of science and mathematics to research and develop economical solutions to technical problems. Their work is the link between perceived social needs and commercial applications. Engineers design products, machinery, implement improved ways to extract, process, and use raw materials, such as petroleum and natural gas, develop new materials that both improve the performance of products and take advantage of advances in technology.

Engineers analyze the impact of the products they develop or the systems they design on the environment and on the people using them. In addition to design and development, many engineers work in testing, production, or maintenance by supervising production in factories, determining the causes of breakdowns, and the testing of manufactured products to maintain quality. They also estimate the time and cost to complete projects.

• Master’s level degree in any engineering discipline.
• 10 years professional experience in an engineering field.
• Expertise in acoustic analysis and performance prediction.
• Expertise in area of underwater acoustic measurement.
• Senior hull sensors engineering expertise.
• U.S. citizenship and eligibility for a security clearance required; current clearance a plus.
• The individual should be goal-oriented and have a strong work ethic
• The ability to multi-task and work in a team environment is essential
