Groton, United States General Dynamics Electric Boat Full time
Overview

The UK's next generation fast attack submarine (SSNA) engineering team is in need of Propulsion Plant Electrical Test Engineers. The SSNA Power Distribution Group has openings for highly motivated test engineers to support the development of a new electric plant design for the next class of submarines. The SSNA Electrical Systems test engineer will be responsible for supporting the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) and the UK Shipyard (BAE Systems) in development of the SSNA electric plant. There will be personnel located both in New London and in Barrow-in-Furness supporting the UK. The effort is to help train UK engineers and guide the design of the electric plant.

The candidate(s) selected for this engineering position will be responsible for the coordination and support of an electric plant architecture that utilizes the latest developments in solid state power electronics for power conversion, system protection and coordination related to the UK next submarine design.

Responsibilities include
  • Coordinate electric plant component evaluations such as a power conversion equipment, Switchboards, and generators to be incorporated into the DC distribution system
  • Coordinate and develop supporting documentation such as functional requirements, interface and component specifications, electric plant architecture recommendations, and vendor workscopes
  • Evaluate or develop test documents
  • Validate system technical requirements are satisfied while maintaining adherence to program cost and schedule requirements, and ensuring strong integration with the other EB departments and outside organizations involved including NNL (Bettis and KAPL), NAVSEA 08, BPMI, and the UK technical and programmatic personnel
Qualifications

Requirements:
  • Demonstrate above average written and oral communication skills
  • Experience working in a successful multi-disciplined group to support a common goal/product
  • Be willing to travel on a regular basis, including to the UK
  • Must be from organizations outside of operations (Casciano/Gabriel)
Preferred:
  • Experience with MATLAB tools is desired
  • Previous experience in development or operation of submarine electric plant systems and components, particularly power electronics, is highly desired
  • Knowledge of rotating machines (e.g. turbine generators) is a plus
  • Previous experience in CLB or VIRGINIA electric distribution development or operation
Skills
  • Must be highly motivated, work independently, and be willing to interact with other engineering disciplines and the design and operations communities
  • Be capable of establishing and cultivating relationships
