Overview
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 newest propulsion plant will be the most advanced the U.S. Navy has ever fielded which presents significant technical challenges that must be overcome. There is maximum potential to influence the overall design of the boat and begin or transition your career to a new program that is on the ground floor. The candidate will work in a multi-discipline engineering group whose purpose is to develop future submarine reactor/steam plant concepts that meet the U.S. Navy’s challenging technical goals while minimizing development, acquisition, and life cycle costs. In order to achieve this, the candidate will lead teams to develop these new ideas and concepts and work to bring them to fruition.
Responsibilities include concept development for future propulsion plants including fluid system design (types and sizes of the systems), analysis (impacts to safety, cost, schedule, performance, operations, and maintenance) arrangement integration (where things are located on the boat), and component development (what is needed to support the overall plant design). Frequent interface with multiple Electric Boat engineering disciplines, vendors, Newport News Shipbuilding, Naval Nuclear Laboratory (NNL), and NAVSEA 08 is required.
This is your opportunity to make your mark on the most advanced submarine designs in the world.
