• Develop system-level component arrangement and installation diagrams.
• Support design and development of payloads, containerized systems, mission modules, sensor nodes, Temporary Alterations (TEMPALTs), and other prototype and production systems.
• Develop design concepts from customer need statements, requirements, and CONOPs.
• Develop components, equipment, foundations, and structures using SolidWorks CAD software.
• Conduct structural loading, hydrodynamic, thermal and vibration analyses using hand calculations and FEA software.
• Develop 2D fabrication, assembly, and installation drawings from 3D models.
• Develop system engineering drawings and documents such as installation plans/procedures, Space, Weight and Power (SWAP) tables, and Weight & Moment tables.
• Review equipment Interface Control Documents (ICD) and Government Furnished Information (GFI) for integration of systems into existing architecture.
• Select mil-spec and Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) materials as warranted.
• Knowledge of mil-standard environmental testing (e.g. MIL-S-901 Shock, MIL-S-810 Vibration) is a plus.
• Experience with subsea material selection, finishes, design, analysis, and sealing methods is a plus.
• Travel to various naval stations and/or test facilities may be required on a limited basis.
