Senior Nuclear Engineer
About The Position
Department 410 Future Plant Studies (FPS) Propulsion Plant Fluid Systems has openings for highly motivated engineers to support the development of new propulsion plant designs. The successful candidate will work in a multidisciplinary engineering group developing future submarine reactor and steam plant concepts that meet the U.S. Navy’s technical goals while minimizing development, acquisition, and life-cycle costs. The role includes leading teams to develop new ideas and concepts and helping bring them to fruition. The position focuses on concept development for future propulsion plants, including fluid-system design, analysis of safety, cost, schedule, performance, operations, and maintenance impacts, arrangement integration aboard the submarine, and component development. The candidate will frequently interface with Electric Boat engineering disciplines, vendors, Newport News Shipbuilding, Naval Nuclear Laboratory (NNL), and NAVSEA 08.
Requirements
- Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical, chemical, marine, or nuclear engineering.
