Typical duties and responsibilities include: SWBS Ownership : Assume total technical responsibility and quality control for the 300 and 400-level SWBS group, ensuring work adheres to 100% of the project requirements. PE Stamping & Certification : Review, verify, and stamp design packages, calculations, and specifications for classification societies (e.

g., ABS, DNV) and flag state authorities as necessary.

Requirements

Map end user requirements to holistic systems and engineering methodologies, ensuring no design criteria or regulatory standards are missed. Cross-Functional Collaboration : Coordinate directly with other SWBS leads to ensure proper integration of weight, stability, power, other ship services, and structural interfaces.

Life-Cycle Support : Support and help to drive the design spiral, shipyard construction, commissioning, and in-service modifications/drydockings. Regulatory Compliance : Ensure designs meet project specifications, class requirements, and maritime regulatory standards (e.g., ABS, DNV, USCG). Review & Modification : Conduct design reviews, incorporate feedback, and implement modifications to accommodate changes in project scope.

Briefings & Reports : Develop and present technical materials at all levels, including senior executives for efficient review and decision making. Some level of travel may be required. Specific functional/SWBS requirements include: Focus Area : SWBS Group 300 (Electric Plant) and automated control segments of Group 400 (Command & Surveillance).

Responsibilities

Design power generation, distribution, and conversion systems for both ship service and emergency loads. Develop electrical load analyses, short-circuit calculations, and arc-flash studies. Integrate hybrid/electric propulsion architectures, switchboards, and marine cabling networks. Integrate Regulatory and Class Society certification requirements such as Safe Return to Port (SRtP), Automated Centralized Control Unmanned (ACCU), Dynamic Positioning Systems (DPS-0 through DPS-3), etc.

Develop drawings (with the assistance from CAD drafters) of associated systems.

Qualifications

PE in Electrical Engineering. Deep knowledge of marine classification standards for electrical systems (e.g., IEEE 45). Salary Range: $116,000 - $165,000 - salary is based on years of experience. General Description of Benefits Required Skills Education : B.S. or M.S. in Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering, Marine Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Electrical Engineering from an ABET-accredited program.

Licensure : Active Professional Engineer (PE) License in Naval Architecture or related field(s). Experience : 5-20+ years of progressive maritime or heavy industrial engineering experience. Salaries are commensurate with the applicable amount of experience and level of education. Software Fluency : Proficiency with industry-standard 2D/3D CAD and CAE/FEA software suites.

Experience with Ship Constructor highly desirable. Communication & Problem Solving : Excellent problem-solving abilities and a proven track record of communicating clearly with engineering leadership and waterfront trades. Effective communication skills to speak at various levels of technical expertise to internal/external personnel.

The ability to work independently but maintain strong coordination with remote team members/customers is also required. Clearance : Must be a US Citizen with the ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust security clearance.
