Naval Architect - Experienced

Who We Are:

The Electric Boat Naval Architecture Department (D496) is comprised of engineers who are responsible for determining the hydrostatic and hydrodynamic characteristics of submarines and providing waterfront hydrostatics support. We're looking for driven high-performers who consistently focus on achieving results, demonstrate extreme ownership, thrive in a highly collaborative environment, take pride in building and strengthening their team, exemplify our core values, and seek to be part of something special that is more than just the means to a paycheck: a mission and vision that is bigger than themselves and their immediate team.

What We Do:

Engineers in the Naval Architecture Department are responsible for concept design, hydrodynamic and hydrostatic analyses, and waterfront shipyard support activities. Concept design activities include design requirement trade-off assessments, early design optimization, team leadership and development of initial hydrostatic estimates. Hydrodynamic analyses include hydrodynamic loading of flow-exposed structure, maneuvering analysis, hull and control surface shaping, and whole-boat resistance. Hydrostatic calculations include determination of tank volumes, ship displacement, trim, draft, surfaced and submerged ship stability, and evaluation of damage conditions. Waterfront activities include support of blocking, docking, submarine launching, and barge transportation of major hull sections.

With the continued rapid construction of VIRGINIA class submarines, and the new construction of COLUMBIA class submarines, Department 496 will have need for a driven and diverse engineering team. With their project diversity and direct connection to the Groton waterfront shipyard, the department interfaces with many areas of the business. If you are looking for a unique opportunity to apply your experience to the submarine construction and development industry, and you meet the requirements listed below, please complete an application so we may review your credentials!
