Engineer Senior - Systems

Engineers in the Ship Signatures Department are responsible for ensuring that the ship's components, systems and structures are designed and built to meet a submarine's challenging radiated noise requirements.

Ship Signatures engineers working in the Advanced Concepts group are involved in research to extend the state-of-the-art in advanced noise control technology and acoustic analysis methods, and to develop concepts for noise control of current and future submarine designs. Engineers in this group have knowledge in the areas of finite element and boundary element analysis, structures, electronic instrumentation and measurements, electronic component design, acoustic theory, signal processing, and system engineering, among others.

Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related STEM discipline from an accredited college/university
• 5-20 years of relevant experience
• Familiarity with analysis in harmonic vibration, as well as random vibration excitations
• Fundamental knowledge of passive, semi-passive, and active vibration control methodologies (i.e., design, development, simulation, and implementation)
• Working knowledge of MATLAB scripting language and general programming concepts (i.e. syntax, flow control, functions, built-in libraries, etc)
• An active SECRET clearance, or ability to obtain a SECRET clearance

Preferred:

• MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related STEM discipline from an accredited college/university
• 3+ years of relevant work experience which includes but is not limited to: acoustics; linear vibrations; classic, modern, digital, and robust controls, structural dynamics, finite element analysis, digital signal processing, analog to digital processing, signal analysis, filter design, digital system design, linear electronics, signals and systems, etc...

• Experience with finite element analysis (FEA), MATLAB, Python, C/C++, LabView, and/or other computational modeling tools and programming languages

• Ability to work independently as well as in a team environment, and meet project schedule requirements
