About The Position
The Waveguide Fabricator / Hot Worker applies extensive knowledge of shipboard waveguide systems to engineering design, analysis, evaluation, fabrication, installation, and the development of engineering and technical documentation and reports. The role provides senior technical support to the Project Manager in research, design, development, material identification and procurement support, inventory management, installation, and testing related to shipboard waveguide systems. The position requires professional discretion and independent judgment in completing waveguide engineering tasks and recommending changes and refinements for continuous process improvement. Work is primarily onboard naval vessels and may involve work outdoors, confined spaces, stairs, stooping, climbing, walking, temperature variations, loud noises, and other physical hazards. The role requires lifting or moving items weighing up to 50 pounds. Overtime, including weekend work, and travel outside local areas are routinely required but not guaranteed.
