Integrated Power Systems – Systems, Hardware/Software, & Program/Project Engineers (Model-Based Design Contributors/Leads)

The Integrated Power Systems directorate is seeking to add new talent to advance and support development of electric drive (E-drive) control system components for the All Electric Navy. The United States Navy’s goals for more capable and more affordable submarines are shared and met by Electric Boat engineers as cutting-edge electric drive propulsion system components are developed, integrated, tested, and delivered with the utmost importance placed on first-time quality, in a timeframe that supports the needs of the United States Navy.

Unique opportunities exist to advance technology centric to propulsion control, which presently consists of a highly diverse team of engineers and support staff that hold technical knowledge key to delivery of robust, high-performance control systems for the COLUMBIA Class.

These opportunities are being expanded beyond the COLUMBIA Class, and require engineers to perform tasking centric to component design through internal research and development.

Candidates may be required to travel (domestically), based on needs of the program.

Flexible Work Arrangements are offered by Electric Boat, but vary on the amount of classified material that the candidate interacts with.

Multiple roles are available for candidates with interests in either technical or programmatic support for design, development, and test of control system components in a model-based systems engineering approach.

Candidates whose interest and experience align with the following roles are desired for this hands-on engineering effort:

• Design and analysis of control systems within MATLAB & Simulink (and other Mathworks tools) in both the time-domain and frequency-domain to support system design from concept design through until full system hardware integration testing
• Use of IBM Rational DOORS for defining system and component-level requirements based on performance criteria, system modeling and predictions, and integration with other systems
• Experience (or the desire to get experience) in model-based systems engineering developments/projects with an emphasis on hands-on tasking
• Detailed understanding of how to properly document test cases and create effective and focused testing plans
• Able to prepare for peer review by creating practical demonstrations of proposed solutions and demonstrating them to other members of the team
