We recognize and appreciate the value and contributions of individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, and welcome all qualified individuals to apply.

Job Summary
You will lead the development of advanced subsystems for applications critical to our nation’s defense. You’ll drive projects from concept through integration, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams-including electrical, software, systems, and materials engineers. You’ll work closely with program managers, serving as both an individual contributor and technical lead, guiding and mentoring other engineers.

We are seeking experienced maritime design engineers who have successfully taken parts or subsystems from requirements definition through integration in marine environments.

Responsibilities

  • Design innovative mechanical solutions with a focus on marine components and systems.
  • Shape system architecture through concept generation, requirements definition, and test planning.
  • Collaborate hands-on with technicians in lab assembly and testing to validate and refine designs.
  • Accountably lead and manage tasks within budget and schedule, partnering with program managers.
  • Support proposal development and capture management for government contracts.
  • Communicate technical results and project progress to leadership and customers, both verbally and in writing.
  • Desire to continually learn and grow both in technical competency and project responsibilities.

Key Qualifications

  • Proven experience designing components and subsystems for maritime environments.
  • Strong proficiency in SolidWorks and/or Creo.
  • Solid understanding of ASME Y14.5 and GD&T.
  • Experience leading technical teams.
  • B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering, or related fields from an accredited university, with 7+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain/maintain a Top Secret/SCI clearance.
  • Physically able to work in laboratory and field environments.
  • Excellent organizational, time management, and interpersonal communication skills.
  • Self-starter with the ability to work independently and mentor junior staff.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with maritime-specific analyses (naval architecture, buoyancy, wave propagation).
  • FEA experience (mechanical, thermal, dynamic; ANSYS preferred).
  • Hydraulic and/or high-pressure pneumatic system design.
  • Familiarity with pressure vessel standards (ABS, ASME BPVC, DNV).
  • Hands-on skills in prototype building and testing.
  • Experience authoring proposals for U.S. Government contracts.
