Overview

SSNR Propulsion Plant Electrical Systems Engineering

The UK's next generation fast attack submarine (SSNR) engineering team is in need of Propulsion Plant Electrical Systems Engineers. The SSNR Power Distribution Group has openings for highly motivated engineers to support the development of a new electric plant design for the next class of submarines. The SSNR Electrical Systems engineer will be responsible for supporting the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) and the UK Shipyard (BAE Systems) in development of a VIRGINIA-like DC electric plant for the UK's next fast-attack submarine. There will be engineers 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 a DC 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 a medium voltage/medium frequency distribution system to support the UK concepts.
  • Coordinate and develop supporting documentation such as functional requirements, interface and component specifications, electric plant architecture recommendations, and vendor workscopes.
  • Provide direction and oversight of system analyses including impedance analysis, fault analysis, and large scale modeling and simulation.
  • 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, and the UK technical and programmatic personnel


Qualifications

Requirements:
  • Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering is required.
  • Demonstrate above average written and oral communication skills.
  • Experience working in a successful multi-disciplined group to support a common goal/product.
  • Minimum of 5-year previous experience in CLB or VIRGINIA electric distribution development (components or systems).
  • Be willing to travel on a regular basis, as well as traveling to the UK will be expected.
  • Candidate must be from organizations outside of operations (Casciano/Gabriel)

Preferred:
  • Masters in Engineering is a plus
  • Experience with MATLAB tools is desired
  • Previous experience in development of electric plant systems and components, particularly power electronics, is highly desired
  • Knowledge of rotating machines (e.g. turbine generators) is a plus


Skills

  • Must be highly motivated, work independently, and be willing to interact with other engineering disciplines and the design and operations communities.
  • Possess above average written and oral communication skills.
  • Be capable of establishing and cultivating relationships.
