***DOD Confidential Clearance Required

This position requires a Bachelor's degree in the appropriate naval architecture or engineering discipline from an ABET accredited school of engineering, and 2 or more years of specialized engineering experience at the Engineer I level. A candidate must be able to apply a well-rounded understanding of engineering/design specifications, and engineering principles and methods, to perform engineering analysis and resolve engineering problems of moderate complexity. A working knowledge of engineering analysis and design applications programs is required. A master's degree in naval architecture or engineering discipline may substitute for the 2 years experience requirement. Where appropriate to the area of specialty, a candidate may also 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). Because of the diversity in kind and quality of degree programs, such candidate must have at least 2 years of professional engineering experience which was acquired under professional engineering supervision and guidance. May require the ability to obtain and retain specific security clearances as well as full or partial radiation worker qualifications. The nature of this work requires the exercise of a specialized body of knowledge (professional engineering or naval architecture discipline), and independent discretion and judgment.
