Job description

Overview
Overhaul and Repair Engineering (O&RE) is a large organization that supports the top U.S. Navy priority of fleet readiness by accomplishing overhaul, repair, and modernization work on active duty SEAWOLF, VIRGINIA, OHIO, and LOS ANGELES class submarines. The organization is involved with all aspects of a project starting with planning and development of technical work documents through supporting final system test and ship certification at Electric Boat's shipyard and various off-site U.S. Navy shipyards and facilities. Frequent opportunities exist to travel to other submarine repair facilities in support of Electric Boat contracted fleet maintenance work.
Overhaul and Repair Engineering is cognizant of almost all systems and components on a submarine, functioning as a dynamic multi-discipline team involving electrical systems, mechanical/piping systems, and structural components. In order to accomplish its mission, the U.S. Navy needs to minimize the time submarines spend in the shipyard being repaired which requires work to be performed in shifts to maximize progress made each day. This posting is focused on applicants seeking to provide real-time creative, technical leadership and problem resolution to skilled trades working the afternoon / evening shift, directly impacting the submarine's ability to return to sea. This includes guidance on navigating unforeseen shipboard conditions; tailoring work procedures to meet unique configurations; and accounting for the realities of fabrication, manufacturing, installation, and testing of shipboard systems and equipment.
Common Electrical Systems
  • Non-propulsion electronic systems, including fly-by-wire ship control, weapons launch control, navigation, sonar, instrumentation and indications
  • Power distribution, electrical methods, electrical hull penetrators, and electromechanical actuation.
  • Voice communications, interior communication circuits, and fiber-optic data distribution.

Common Mechanical/Piping Systems
  • Valves, actuators, main condensers/heat exchangers, pipe and machinery fabrication and welding
  • Weapons and countermeasure launching, steering and diving, hatch operability, masts and antennas, shaft and propulsion, hydraulics, and compressed air.

Common Structural Components
  • Pressure hull boundary and non-pressure hull boundary ship structures
  • Structure fabrication and welding
  • Submarine coating and cathodic protection
  • Non-metallic coverings and treatments

O&RE operates in a collaborative and fast paced manner to ensure safety, stealth, maneuverability, and habitability of a submarine are maintained to the highest level. Engineers interface consistently with other Electric Boat departments including scheduling, quality assurance, material sourcing, contracts, cost engineering, system testing, operations skilled trades, and project management as well as U.S. Navy submariners. On the job training as well as training under more experienced engineers or subject matter experts will be provided.
Job responsibilities:
  • Planning of submarine maintenance, repair, and modernization work through the development of clear and concise procedures contained in technical work documents. This includes interpretation of shipbuilding specifications, military specifications and standards, maintenance requirements, construction drawings, and contractual requirements.
  • Providing in-person proactive support to shipyard execution efforts onboard submarines and throughout the shipyard.
  • Hands-on troubleshooting to provide timely technical resolutions for execution roadblocks.
  • Collaborating with O&RE system engineers as well as interfacing departments to ensure compliance with Shipyard and U.S. Navy procedures.
  • Evaluating technical rationale to support the approval of non-conforming conditions.
  • Supporting test and certification of systems impacted by the technical work documents.
  • Assisting with off-site projects at various Electric Boat and U.S. Navy facilities.
  • Developing an understanding of specific non-nuclear areas and systems of a submarine identified in the technical work documents.

Qualifications
Required:
  • Minimum of 10 years of prior work experience associated with maintenance and modernization of commissioned US submarines. Prior work experience for developing and/or providing supervisory oversight on operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting procedures in accordance with military technical requirements.
  • Prior nuclear electrical experience.
  • Prior experience with Nuclear Power Plant Operations.
  • Prior Ohio Class Submarine experience.
  • The ability to obtain Department of Defense (DoD) Secret clearance.
  • Willingness to travel and support extended off-site assignments as needed.

Preferred:
  • An active DoD Secret or Top Secret clearance.
  • The flexibility to support critical work and schedule needs in a supportive team environment.

Skills
  • A strong ability to solve technical problems.
  • Aptitude for learning and applying technical requirements.
  • Candidates must possess strong written and oral communication skills and be able to effectively collaborate with a wide range of internal and external organizations at multiple levels of management.
  • Candidates must be highly motivated and well organized with strong project management skills and be capable of working both independently and in a team environment.
  • The candidate must have a strong fundamental understanding of engineering concepts and basic understanding of relationship between electronic, mechanical/piping, and structural systems/components.
  • Candidates must be willing and physically able to climb steep stairs and ladders to enter submarine and dry-docks, ascend/descend scaffolding, and enter confined spaces.

Climbing, Crawling, Kneeling, Reaching, Stooping, Twisting
Environmental Attributes
