Develop maintenance plans and technical recommendations for ship repairs, overhauls, availabilities, and dry-docking periods.
Analyze propulsion, auxiliary, piping, and HVAC systems to identify deficiencies and recommend engineering solutions.
Perform HVAC system calculations, including cooling and heating load analyses, pressure drop calculations, equipment sizing, thermostat selection, and reheat system design.
Develop mechanical calculations and engineering documentation supporting shipboard modifications and repair efforts.
Interpret ship drawings, P&IDs, equipment manuals, specifications, and technical data packages.
Support troubleshooting and root cause investigations involving mechanical equipment and shipboard systems.
Provide engineering recommendations supporting propulsion, shafting, auxiliary machinery, and environmental control systems.
Utilize engineering software to perform system modeling, calculations, equipment selection, and technical evaluations.
Prepare clear technical reports, engineering studies, presentations, and recommendations for Government stakeholders.
Collaborate with Government engineers, ship's force personnel, and cross-functional engineering teams throughout project execution.
Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
Five (5) or more years of professional mechanical engineering experience.
Active Secret Security Clearance.
Experience developing technical reports, engineering calculations, and mechanical system analyses.
Working knowledge of marine mechanical systems and shipboard engineering principles.
Experience interpreting technical drawings, specifications, and equipment documentation.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
