About the Role
Advance and support the development of electric drive (E-drive) control system components for the All Electric Navy, contributing to the development, integration, testing, and delivery of cutting-edge electric drive propulsion system components for the COLUMBIA Class and beyond. This role involves internal research and development, focusing on component design.
Responsibilities
- Perform tasking centric to component design through internal research and development.
- Document code and contribute to engineering/design reports for distribution to external stakeholders.
- Prepare for peer review by creating practical demonstrations of proposed solutions and demonstrating them to other members of the team.
- Document test cases and create effective and focused testing plans.
Requirements
- B.S. or B.E. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering.
- 5 or more years post-graduate engineering experience.
- Ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance through the U.S. DoD (candidates must be a U.S. citizen).
- Experience in requirement analysis, hardware/software design, software development and test, hardware/software integration.
- Software, embedded software development experience in C, C++, Assembly, or Python.
- Experience in selection of commercial-off-the-shelf and custom components and circuit/processing cards to support rapid prototyping and demonstration of system functionality.
- Knowledge of industry-standard serial (RS-232/422/485, I2C, SPI) and high-speed serial protocols (PCIe, Ethernet, SRIO, etc.) and experience with fiber-optic communication systems.
- Experience working in bare-metal and multi-process environments.
- Experience with Xilinx, Microsemi, Texas Instruments, and Intel product lines and offerings.
- Experience with Visual Studio, QT, Jira, Git.
Skills
- Controls rapid prototyping via auto-code generation.
- Effective communication skills.
- Initiative.
- Ability to function as a member of a diverse team.
- Knowledge of industry-standard serial (RS-232/422/485, I2C, SPI) and high-speed protocols (PCIe, Ethernet, SRIO, etc.).
- Experience with fiber-optic communication systems.
- Ability to thoroughly document code.
- Ability to contribute to engineering reports for distribution to external stakeholders.
- Detailed understanding of how to properly document test cases.
- Ability to create effective and focused testing plans.
- Ability to prepare for, and engage in, software peer reviews.
- Ability to create practical demonstrations of proposed solutions.
- Familiarity with Agile development.
Location
- Domestic travel may be required.

About the Company
- The Integrated Power Systems directorate is seeking to add new talent to advance and support development of electric drive (E-drive) control system components for the All Electric Navy.
- The United States Navy’s goals for more capable and more affordable submarines are shared and met by Electric Boat engineers as cutting-edge electric drive propulsion system components are developed, integrated, tested, and delivered with the utmost importance placed on first-time quality, in a timeframe that supports the needs of the United States Navy.
- Unique opportunities exist to advance technology centric to propulsion control, which presently consists of a highly diverse team of engineers and support staff that hold technical knowledge key to delivery of robust, high-performance control systems for the COLUMBIA Class.
- These opportunities are being expanded beyond the COLUMBIA Class, and require engineers to perform tasking centric to component design through internal research and development.
