About The Position

The Engineer Electromechanical 4 applies electrical, electronic, and mechanical principles to components and systems, including assembly, analysis, documentation of results, construction of developmental assemblies, sub-assemblies and components, and quality testing. The role supports and participates in the design, test, modification, fabrication, and assembly of prototype electromechanical systems. Within the Propulsion and Reactor Plant Planning Yard (PREPY) 450V Motor Controller Group, the senior electromechanical engineer supports equipment across every system in the Ford Class Carrier propulsion plant. The role leads the application of electrical and mechanical technical principles, develops and reviews technical correspondence, and directs small interdisciplinary project teams from project inception through planning, execution, and closeout. Regular communication with internal and external stakeholders—including the Navy, NAVSEA, Supply Chain, cross-departmental engineers and management, and Waterfront—is conducted in person and electronically.
