Principle Senior Mechanical Engineer, Facility Systems Jobs

Senior Mechanical Engineer

BAE Systems is seeking an experienced Senior Mechanical Engineer to support our work as a prime contractor on high-profile U.S. Navy facility development, recapitalization, and construction projects. Accuracy, integrity, subject matter expertise, and the ability to work well independently and with others are important traits we expect the successful candidate to possess and demonstrate. This position is responsible for conceptual development, code compliance reviews, and ensuring SSP specific requirements are incorporated into the mechanical design portion of conceptual, preliminary and final design documentation.

This includes both BAE conceptual designs and designs created by other architectural engineering firm hired as the responsible engineer for the project. As a decades long sole source partner on multiple contracts on behalf of our customer, our program has remarkable stability and is concurrently experiencing significant growth. Combined, these factors provide ample opportunity for professional growth and development for capable and talented individuals on our team.

About the Program

Our organization has supported the U.S. Navy's Strategic Systems Program (SSP) continually since the program's inception in the 1950s. SSP developed the first sea-based, underwater-launched Strategic Weapon System (SWS), a defense system that is truly critical to our national security. For more than six decades, SSP has maintained and upgraded this weapon system and BAE has been there every step of the way.

The sea-based SWS is the ultimate stealthy weapon system and as the first leg of the U.S. nuclear triad. With over 70% of our nation's nuclear arsenal its importance to maintaining world peace cannot be overstated. The development of Columbia, the most advanced nuclear-powered, nuclear-armed submarine ever designed, as well the next D5LE2 weapon system is under way and will begin to be rolled out over the next decade.

The Navy expects this system to be operational through 2084, meaning the program will have a total life span of more than 120 years. This is a truly unique program and BAE Systems employees on this program understand they are part of an important legacy.

BAE Systems is seeking an experienced senior mechanical engineer to support our work as a prime contractor on high-profile U.S Navy weapon systems projects. This senior mechanical will support the Navy Program Manager responsible for Strategic Systems Planning (SSP) Facilities Acquisition at TRIDENT Submarine Bases, primarily at Kings Bay, Georgia and Bangor, Washington, in developing the assigned projects from concept to operational stage.

This senior position is responsible for developing conceptual mechanical system requirements, estimated HVAC loads, estimated Bill of Materials, and facility requirements documentation. The selected candidate will provide technical peer reviews of architectural/engineering design submittals, support the develop of Facilities Design Criteria & Facilities Evaluation Testing Criteria, and perform constructability reviews of construction design documentation. Candidate is also responsible to conduct/prepare engineering study reports and will make recommendations to solve facilities issues.

The senior mechanical engineer will have experience in the application of various HVAC related equipment to ensure the most effective system type is selected for the design of the facility. The senior engineer will have working knowledge of ASHREA Standards such as 62.1, 90.1 and 183, including the life cycle cost analysis and ventilation calculations. The senior engineer is responsible for providing input to comprehensive MILCON documentation and the mechanical portion of preliminary construction cost estimates.

This position will require the candidate to provide mechanical system guidance associated with specific SSP facility requirements for construction documentation to ensure the constructed facility performs the necessary function of mission. A limited amount of travel to off-site locations could be required. Position may require generating a…
