Part Time Tmmg Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Description:

Background check, US Citizenship, CAC, and a confidential clearance are requirements for this position. Travel is 20%.

Salary: $57.00 to $70.00 per hour

TMMG is seeking a Senior Naval Architect to support the Engineering Design Team (EDT) in delivering high-quality, execution-focused engineering solutions across commercial and naval shipbuilding programs. This role is not purely theoretical design. The right candidate understands how engineering translates to the deckplates – bridging design, production, testing, and delivery. You will be expected to step into active shipyard environments, resolve real-world engineering challenges, and ensure design products are executable, compliant, and aligned with ship construction and modernization efforts. This position supports both new construction and modernization programs, including NAVSEA, MSC, and commercial vessel platforms. 

Requirements:

Key Responsibilities1. Naval Architecture & Structural Engineering Execution

• Perform and lead structural and naval architectural analyses for ship systems, foundations, and modifications 

• Conduct DDAM shock analysis, static and dynamic Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and load path evaluations 

• Develop and validate shock-qualified designs for shipboard equipment and systems 

• Ensure compliance with NAVSEA design practices, classification society rules (ABS), and contract requirements 

2. 3D Modeling & Digital Engineering Integration

• Develop and manipulate 3D ship models using tools such as Rhino, SolidWorks, ShipConstructor, or equivalent 

• Translate legacy drawings and incomplete data into accurate, buildable 3D models 

• Support design-to-production alignment, ensuring models reflect real installation conditions 

• Identify clashes, interferences, and constructability issues early 

3. Technical Design Package (TDP) Development & Review

• Develop, review, and redline Technical Design Packages (TDPs) including: 

o Drawings 

o Calculations 

o Reports 

o Installation details 

• Validate engineering products for technical accuracy and shipboard applicability 

• Support Engineering Change Documents (ECNs/ECPs) and configuration control 

4. Shipyard & Waterfront Integration

• Conduct ship checks, inspections, and onboard validation of systems and structures 

• Work directly with production teams to: 

o Resolve installation issues 

o Address non-compliance conditions 

o Eliminate rework and delays 

• Act as the interface between engineering, production, and program stakeholders 

5. Shock, Survivability & Compliance Engineering

• Lead or support DDAM shock analysis for mission-critical systems 

• Evaluate shock mitigation strategies, isolation systems, and structural reinforcement 

• Ensure designs meet shock, vibration, and survivability requirements 

• Support resolution of shock trial deficiencies and non-compliance issues 

6. Program & Technical Leadership

• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers 

• Support cross-functional coordination with: 

o Shipyards 

o Program offices 

o Classification societies 

o Government stakeholders 

• Participate in technical reviews, design reviews, and risk assessments 

Physical Job Requirements

• Prolonged periods sitting at a desk and working on a computer.

• Must be able to lift up to 15 pounds at a time.

• Must be able to access and inspect all areas of machinery. 

Education/Certification Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Naval Architecture or Marine Engineering from a recognized and accredited naval architecture program

(Mechanical Engineering degrees will not be considered for this role) 

• 10+ years of experience in naval and/or commercial shipbuilding environments 

• Demonstrated experience supporting NAVSEA, MSC, or major U.S. shipyards 

• Strong background in ship structures, systems integration, and vessel design execution 

• U.S. Citizenship required; Active Secret Clearance preferred
