ENGINEER 1

ENGINEER 1   DESCRIPTION: This position requires a Bachelor's degree in the appropriate naval architecture or engineering discipline from an ABET accredited school of engineering, that includes differential and integral calculus, and courses in 5 or more of the following areas of engineering: statics and dynamics; strength of materials (stress-strain relationships); fluid mechanics and hydraulics; thermodynamics; electrical fields and circuits; nature and properties of materials (relating particle and aggregate structure of properties); and, any other comparable area of fundamental engineering science or physics, such as optics, heat transfer or electronics. Where appropriate to an area of engineering specialty, a candidate may qualify for this position based on the acquisition of a bachelor's or higher degree in engineering technology, physics, mathematics, architecture, or computer science (not programming or management information science). The nature of this work requires the exercise of a specialized body of knowledge (professional eng.or naval architecture discipline). This job is an entry-level career development position for employees with an appropriate educ. foundation, but lack significant practical experience in the application of engineering concepts, principles and practices. Under supervision and technical direction and guidance from an Engineering Supervisor or more senior engineers, responsibilities include: Provides engineering assistance and knowledge to the design of systems, components, structures, and processes. Collects and analyzes technical data for design or feasibility studies. Evaluates performance and life-cycle operational requirements and develops engineering design to meet customer requirements. Prepares layouts and specifications; reviews design proposals and drawings; and assures that specifications meet performance requirements. Provides engineering analysis and recommendations to the development of technical specifications, requisition and bid documents, inspection and testing requirements, etc., to area of responsibility. Assists in the analysis and resolution of design and production issues. Assists in planning of testing operations. Evaluates and prepares test program policies and procedures to effectively test and control ship systems and components; ensuring successful integration of the test program with production activities. Plans and prepares test procedures, which contain testing instructions, requirements and sequences, ensuring compliance with contract specifications, military specifications, system diagrams, equipment drawings, etc. Writes or revises test policies and procedures to control testing and system operations. Coordinates shipboard testing performed by hourly or salaried non-exempt technicians. Monitors the performance of tests and provides engineering expertise to the identification and resolution of system operational issues. Analyzes test data and applies engineering expertise to determine operational conditions and design appropriateness. Works collaboratively with design engineers to resolve design issues. Provides on-site resolution of engineering problems encountered during construction. Investigates problems incurred during testing and operations, resolves problems, and directs re-tests to ensure the satisfactory performance of the system.
Develops radiation control plans, policies and procedures to ensure safe handling of nuclear materials and personnel protection.
Audits work-in-progress and performs related studies to ensure that predetermined engineering/design specifications are met. Prepares estimates for material, equipment and labor relative to assigned projects. Prepares status and documentation reports containing clear and concise documentation that tested components and systems perform in the required manner.
