Engineer I - Systems

Responsibilities for this Position

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 at home. This 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.

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.

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
