About The Position

Provides technical support to engineers on a variety of technical tasks. Gathers, maintains, formats, compiles, and manipulates technical data, such as laboratory or material test results and engineering design changes. Produces engineering documentation, reports, drawings (flow charts, block diagrams, and schematics). Performs detailed mathematical calculations using established formulas; preliminary analyses of data where guidelines are provided in such areas as trajectory adequacy, model dimensional consistency; and quantitative judgments concerning technical data. Uses personal computer in performance of analyses and development of documentation/reports. May conduct tests and record data to assist with engineering evaluation or analysis. In the Naval Architecture and Weight Engineering Department, this position would perform weight analysis on new construction aircraft carriers including: devlopment of weight and center of gravity estimates from technical descriptions, extraction of mass property details from product models or calculations from drawings, determining appropriate margins to add to weights, and development of mass property data packages for input into weight databases. These calculations would be performed on structure, piping, electrical, outfitting, machinery and HVAC systems. The applicant to have a competent knowledge of basic mathematics and geometry, including the understanding of area, volume, moments and the ability to read scales.
