About The Position

This requisition is for an engineering manager position in the Propulsion & Reactor Engineering Planning Yard responsible for the design, maintenance, overhaul and modernization of Nimitz Class and Ford Class propulsion plants. The manager will lead a group of engineers responsible for reactor plant structures and shielding in support of the operational readiness of the aircraft carrier fleet and delivery of new construction ships through adjudication of urgent requests for engineering support. Major duties will involve managing engineers performing dynamic structural shock analyses utilizing finite element analysis methods, performing hand calculations using textbook methods, developing engineering calculation reports, and approval of these analysis products. In addition, the engineering group will be responsible for fleet support duties for the development of Ship Alterations, Nuclear Liaison Inquiries and submittal letters to Naval Reactors and the Naval Nuclear Laboratory. The group will also collaborate closely with the Design Disclosure organization checking product model and drawing products to ensure technical requirements are accurately conveyed to our customers.

Requirements

Bachelor's Degree in engineering from an ABET accredited program.
6 years of progressive technical experience in research, engineering and design (with Bachelor's Degree).
4 years of relevant experience (with Master's Degree).
