Job summary

TDI Technologies, Inc. is seeking an early- to mid-career Mechanical Test & Fluid Systems Engineer to provide hands-on engineering support to NSWCPD Machinery Technology and R&D organization.

The engineer will support research, development, testing, and evaluation of submarine hull, mechanical, and electrical (HM&E) systems and components, with emphasis on fluid systems, flow testing, acoustics, machinery testing, and experimental engineering.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with test facilities and lab equipment.
• Strong understanding of mechanical engineering fundamentals applied to experiments.

Responsibilities

• Develop and support detailed test plans for operational, hydraulic, fluid-flow, acoustic, and machinery testing of submarine HM&E components and systems.
• Provide engineering input to the design and configuration of laboratory and test-site setups.
• Develop and document test procedures, operating instructions, and safety procedures necessary to conduct testing safely and effectively.
• Review test objectives, equipment requirements, instrumentation requirements, expected operating conditions, and anticipated test results prior to test execution.
• Support test readiness reviews and other technical reviews associated with laboratory and test-site operations.
• Execute approved test procedures and provide hands-on engineering support during test operations.
• Monitor test activities and equipment operation to identify unexpected conditions, anomalies, or performance issues requiring engineering attention.
• Document test activities, observations, equipment conditions, operating parameters, and test results.
• Support test planning and scheduling activities and coordinate with government engineering, laboratory, and technical personnel.
• Apply mechanical engineering and fluid mechanics principles to the analysis and testing of hydraulic and fluid-flow systems and components.
• Support testing and evaluation of submarine HM&E components, including valves, flow-control components, CORDs, and related systems.
• Evaluate fluid-flow performance, pressure, flow rate, differential pressure, and other relevant operating parameters.
• Assist with the design, modification, installation, operation, and troubleshooting of fluid test systems and associated laboratory equipment.
• Identify potential sources of abnormal system behavior, flow instability, vibration, noise, or other performance issues.
• Provide engineering recommendations related to test configuration, equipment operation, component performance, and troubleshooting.
• Work collaboratively with Fluid Labs subject matter experts and engineering personnel to resolve technical issues encountered during testing.
• Support acquisition, processing, and engineering evaluation of acoustic measurements obtained during operational and flow testing.
