ENGINEER PROJECT 5

Huntington Ingalls•Newport News, VA

1d•Onsite

About The Position

This position is for an Engineer Project 5, with emphasis on an Electromechanical skillset. Expectations include applying electrical, electronic and mechanical principles to components and systems, including assembly, analysis, and documentation of results; construction of developmental assemblies, sub-assemblies and components; and quality testing. Supports and participates in the design, test, modification, fabrication and assembly of prototype electromechanical systems. The position is located within the Valve Engineering section of Department E50 (Propulsion and Reactor Engineering Planning Yard). This is a leadership position that requires an individual with expert level knowledge in electro-mechanical (and electrical engineering) valve and actuator operation, software knowledge, and the ability to lead less experienced personnel that do not have the requisite experience. Furthermore, this is a leadership position that will involve project management, and mentorship. Specifically, they will have responsibilities with motor operated valve and actuator designs for CVN78 class ships and some support for existing CVN68 Class actuator designs. Responsibilities include cognizance of multiple motor operated valve and actuator designs that include Permanent Magnet Motor Electro-Mechanical Actuators and Electro-Mechanical Actuator development projects. These actuators, and more developments expected going forward, have integrated mechanical, electrical and software characteristics. To be successful in designing, maintaining and troubleshooting them will require a high degree of knowledge in all three fields and how those areas interact with each other.

Requirements

Bachelor’s Degree and 14 years of relevant exempt experience
Master’s Degree and 12 years of relevant professional experience
Ph.D. and 9 years of experience.
Bachelor's Degree in engineering from an ABET accredited program.
