Annual Salary
Full-Time
Overview:
Electric Boat is preparing to execute a construction and test program for the COLUMBIA Class Integrated Propulsion Systems (IPS) at the IPS Compatibility Test Facility (CTF) in Philadelphia, PA. The IPS includes the propulsion plant (electric drive) and electrical power distribution system. Electric Boat has been tasked with outfitting the space to integrate and test the lead ship motor module. Following that program, the site will be used to test all subsequent COLUMBIA Class motor modules. Outfitting of the motor modules will occur at the Electric Boat Quonset Point facility as well as possible focus factories in the future. A pre-production integrated test program of prototypic equipment is in progress at the IPS CTF and on-going through the start of the motor module test program and beyond. The IPS CTF will additionally have the capability to test Electric Plant components independently during motor module testing.
The successful candidate will lead a team of approximately 10-15 salaried employees responsible for: overall engineering support of the IPS CTF, ensuring the IPS CTF remains able to test prototypes and future technology upgrades, maintenance of IPS CTF integrated master schedules for prototypic equipment testing, possible IPS CTF future upgrades for classes other than COLUMBIA, ships force design school, and development of test documentation for prototypic and possibly shipboard equipment.
This role will require continual and direct involvement with the various Electric Boat Organizations, sub-vendors, Naval Surface Warfare Center – Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD), Naval Sea System Command (NAVSEA), and the Naval Nuclear Laboratory (NNL). The engineering supervisor must be able to assess and integrate vendor/supplier technical design and operational information including qualification test program, factory acceptance testing and technical manuals. This individual will also be responsible for issuing formal correspondence to external stakeholders (NNL, NAVSEA, NSWCPD) to support planning and test performance.
The Engineering Supervisor must demonstrate knowledge in the areas of submarine propulsion plant operations, power generation, electronic controls and/or power distribution systems operation. As previously stated, frequent interface with NSWCPD, NNL, and NAVSEA personnel is required. Occasional travel may be required (once a month or more).
Key Tasks
Engineering support of system designs for COLUMBIA Class IPS equipment
Engineering support of independent electric plant testing capabilities
Development and delivery of ships force design school
Development of formal correspondence
Sub vendor contract and performance management
Interface with external and internal customers to ensure program documents meet the intent of installations and testing
Support analysis, troubleshooting, and resolution of issues discovered during module outfitting, installation, removal, and during the test program
Work travel is periodically required both locally between Electric Boat locations as well as airline travel to CONUS and OCONUS destinations.
Skills
System engineering capabilities
Strategic vision for group development and improvement
Knowledge management abilities to both capture existing knowledge and ensure prompt training of new employees.
Good communication (written and oral) and organizational skills are required to succinctly pass information both up and down the chain of command.
Candidate must be able to work on multiple tasks simultaneously.
Qualifications:
Required:
Four or more years of relevant experience
BS in an engineering discipline
Secret clearance prior to starting work
Preferred:
Familiarity and experience with oversight of test programs
Familiarity and experience with the COLUMBIA Class IPS
MS in an engineering discipline
Previous Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program experience
Skills:
Demonstrated leadership skills
Proven strong verbal and written communication skills and the ability to work in a teaming environment with remote participants, including interfacing regularly with NAVSEA
Proven task management skills and leadership skills
