Department 705 On-site Engineering is an integral part of Electric Boat's Planning Yard businesses. With this business, Electric Boat provides mission-ready submarines to the fleet through overhaul, repair, maintenance, modernization, alterations and improvements. D705 engineers provide non-nuclear deck-plate engineering support for maintenance and alteration activities on submarines at Bangor, WA and Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, including the planning, execution, and certification of work. D705 routinely develops technical work documents, provides technical direction and oversight, and evaluates shipboard conditions.

 A multi-discipline group comprised of mechanical, structural, and electrical engineers, D705 Engineering operates in a collaborative, dynamic, team-oriented manner. Using a design-build approach, D705 interfaces with Operations, Design, Planning Yard, Test, and Program Office personnel in order to arrive at innovative solutions to difficult problems. Additionally, interaction with the United States Navy customer is typical, including the Supervisor of Shipbuilding, Naval Sea Systems Command, and submarine crews.

 D705 Engineering provides support for maintenance and alteration activities for submarines at Bangor, WA and Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, including the development and updating of Selected Record Drawings. Tasking includes the incorporation of alterations into the applicable Selected Record Drawing (SRD). All SRD products are reviewed for quality, accuracy, completeness, drawing impacts and discrepancies between hulls. The engineer provides direction to and sets priorities for two SRD Analysts in the development of NCSRDs and red-line drawings. It is their responsibility to coordinate and track the SRD efforts between EB Groton, IMF Bangor, TRF Kings Bay, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and the D705 EOH group, ensuring red-line copies of all the applicable SRDs requiring change are on hand during the ship overhaul period and that they are routed correctly for review and markup.  This engineering position will research alteration DDPs and develop the consequent detailed change inputs needed to allow drafting the NCSRDs and SRD red-lines.

Tasks required of the D705 engineer include, but are not limited to, the following:  

• Development of Selected Record Drawings for all submarine alterations.
• Interpretation and translation of shipbuilding specifications, maintenance requirements, and contractual requirements.
• Deck-plate support and resolution of emergent issues.
• Development of technical rationale to support approval of nonconforming conditions.
• Collaboration with engineers of all disciplines.

Overtime may be required. Travel and evening and/or weekend work are sometimes required based on department needs.

Required:

• Bachelor of Science degree (or equivalent) in mechanical, structural, electrical, computer, ocean or systems engineering is required.
• An active Department of Defense secret or top secret security clearance is required.
• 5+ Years of engineering experience post graduation.
• Relevant experience interpreting engineering drawings

Preferred:

•   Prior experience related to USN ship maintenance and/or modernization is desirable.
