The ideal candidate has experience with shipboard integration, CAD-based engineering analysis, equipment placement, and the technical considerations associated with antennas, sensors, radar systems, and other combat-system components.

This position is fully on-site. The salary range is $120,000 – $140,000 annually, depending on experience. A current, active security clearance that is at least secret level (or higher) is required.

Job Responsibilities:

• Perform engineering analyses supporting the design, placement, and integration of topside and below-deck combat-system equipment.
• Evaluate proposed equipment locations and recommend placement based on system performance, physical constraints, structural considerations, accessibility, interfaces, and installation requirements.
• Assess electromagnetic interference and compatibility (EMI/EMC), radiation hazards (RADHAZ), antenna and sensor placement, field-of-view, blockage, and other integration impacts.
• Evaluate environmental exposure, safety, survivability, aviation impacts, human factors, and operational constraints associated with shipboard equipment installations.
• Develop and review 2D/3D engineering models, CAD drawings, equipment layouts, and installation designs.
• Conduct feasibility studies, evaluate integration risks, compare design alternatives, and recommend modifications to improve system performance.
• Analyze system and test data to identify integration and performance issues and recommend corrective actions.
• Support ship checks, installation activities, engineering test events, verification, trials, and operational assessments.
• Collaborate with systems, mechanical, electrical, software, and other engineering teams to resolve technical and interface challenges.
• Develop technical analyses, engineering reports, design documentation, and presentations supporting program decisions.
