ENGINEER 1

Huntington Ingalls•Newport News, VA

3d•$84,000 - $101,000•Onsite

About The Position

The Engineer 1 supports engineering and product-development work involving ship systems, with a focus on submarine fluid and air systems and associated mechanical and electrical equipment such as valves, pumps, heat exchangers, filters, seals, and fasteners. The role offers an opportunity to learn engineering and design processes and shipyard operations, including component fabrication, assembly, and final outfitting. Familiarity with dimensional control systems and practices is desirable. The position requires effective oral and written communication. Work products may include design proposals, engineering calculations and analyses, drawing reviews, presentations, operating instructions, test procedures, maintenance procedures, work deferral requests, and departure-from-specification requests. The engineer may collaborate with internal and external design and test engineering personnel, including NAVSEA, Naval shipyards, General Dynamics-Electric Boat, and vendors. On-site construction or overhaul issue resolution may be needed and may involve travel. The role supports engineering for Submarine Fleet Support work, including troubleshooting, change orders, and technical solutions to complex issues. The engineer works with Trades, Planning, Projects, and Construction Management to plan and execute off-site Submarine Fleet maintenance periods.
