Job Responsibilities:
· Design, develop, and test mechanical systems, components, and assemblies for undersea platforms including MK11 SEAL Delivery Vehicles (SDVs), SWCS, DCS, and related support equipment.
· Support fabrication, overhaul, refurbishment, reassembly, and verification of mechanical systems such as pressure vessels, enclosures, brackets, valves, and mounts.
· Perform mechanical analyses including finite element analysis (FEA), hydrodynamic modeling, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for submersible vehicle structures and components.
· Generate and review engineering documentation, specifications, and technical data packages in accordance with MIL-STD-31000B and project design requirements.
· Support SOC-related tasking, ensuring all materials, welds, fittings, and documentation meet NAVSEA SS800-AG-MAN-010/P-9290 and NAVSEA S9086-AD-SOC-030 requirements.
· Provide support during prototype development, testing, and transition to production, including hands-on troubleshooting and field support as required.
· Collaborate closely with electrical, systems, and software engineers to develop integrated multi-discipline solutions for mission-critical hardware.
· Participate in market surveys, materials research, cost studies, and performance assessments to support design decisions.
Required Experience:
· Minimum 5 years of mechanical engineering experience, with demonstrated work supporting naval or DoD engineering projects—especially in submersibles or harsh environment systems.
· Experience with 3D modeling and simulation tools such as SolidWorks, Creo, or AutoCAD for design and documentation.
· Hands-on experience supporting fabrication, machining, and testing of complex mechanical systems.
· Familiarity with SOC standards and inspection criteria for submersible components, pressure boundaries, and life-support-related hardware.
· Working knowledge of military and NAVSEA specifications, including material selection, structural tolerancing, and environmental performance.
Required Skills and Qualifications:
· Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or closely related field.
· U.S. Citizenship and active Secret Clearance required.
· Proficiency in design for manufacturability (DFM), GD&T, and technical drawing interpretation.
· Strong understanding of mechanical properties of materials, especially marine-grade metals and composites.
· Ability to prepare and deliver detailed technical reports, presentations, and analyses.
· Strong interpersonal and problem-solving skills with the ability to operate effectively in a team-driven, cross-disciplinary environment.
