Nuclear Waterfront Engineering, Propulsion Plant Electrical (D427) performs design engineering activities for electrical components and systems used in the propulsion plant for VIRGINIA Class submarines in construction at the Electric Boat shipyard and technology insertions for future VIRGINIA Class blocks of ships (e.g. Subsea and Seabed Warfare).  Responsibilities include design upgrades for reactor plant instrumentation and control systems, steam plant control and indication systems, and the electric plant. 

Major components supported by this group are power electronic inverters and converters, power distribution switchboards and circuit breakers, microprocessor based instrumentation and control equipment, electromagnetic controllers, transformers, bus transfer devices and control stations.  This department is also responsible for electric plant analysis products, such as power systems analysis, fault current analysis, circuit breaker coordination, electric plant stability analysis and voltage drop analysis. 

Engineers work in a fast paced, multi-discipline environment, and interface with other engineering disciplines, senior management, suppliers and customers on a frequent basis.  Technologies that are supported by this department include power distribution, power electronics, systems integration, integration of microprocessor control systems, and integration of copper based and fiber optic based serial communications systems.

Required:

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering or equivalent engineering degree.
• Candidate must be from organizations outside of operations (Casciano/Gabriel)

Preferred, but not required:

• Experience or classes in the design, analysis, or test of power electronic systems.
• Experience or classes in the design and test of instrumentation and control equipment.
• U.S. Navy experience with electrical or electronics background.
