The ideal candidate will have knowledge in a wide variety of submarine structures, including: pressure hull, non-pressure hull, external structures, bulkheads, tanks, component foundations, decking, furniture, and lockers. The job consists of a work split between troubleshooting construction issues in the shipyard and technically evaluating these conditions via calculations and analysis on site at the Groton office. Support is provided for submarines in construction at the Electric Boat shipyards in Groton and Quonset Point, Newport News shipyard in Virginia, and various vendors across the United States.Engineers work together in a fast-paced, time-sensitive, team environment utilizing their skills in statics, dynamics, strength of materials, material science, and creative problem solving to provide technical direction in support of emergent issues.
