• Experience working on fluid piping systems, components, and/or arrangements.
• Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program and/or commercial nuclear experience.
• Experience as a Naval nuclear operator or nuclear test engineer.
• Current DoD Secret clearance.
• Knowledge of NX/Teamcenter.
• Ability to read and develop diagrams, schematics, and construction drawings; derive requirements from specifications; make material and component selections; and perform engineering calculations.

Responsibilities

• Develop concepts for future propulsion plants, including fluid-system types and sizes.
• Analyze design impacts on safety, cost, schedule, performance, operations, and maintenance.
• Integrate system arrangements, including determining equipment locations on the boat.
• Develop components needed to support the overall plant design.
