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.
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.
- 0-5 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).
- Software development experience in one (or more) of the following languages: C, C++, and Assembly.
- Experience with Visual Studio, QT, Jira, and Git.
- Experience in requirement analysis, hardware/software design, software development and test, hardware/software integration.
- Experience with Xilinx, Microsemi, Texas Instruments, and Intel product lines (SoC, CPU, DSP, etc).
- Experience working in bare-metal and multi-process environments.
- Experience with rapid prototyping via auto-code generation (using tools such as MathWorks’ Embedded Coder, Simulink Coder, etc).
- Experience in selection of commercial-off-the-shelf and custom components and circuit/processing cards to support rapid prototyping and demonstration of system functionality, in accordance with functional system requirements.
- Advanced engineering degrees.
- Prior experience within the defense sector, as part of prime contracts or R&D efforts.
- Hardware/system description language experience (VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog, SystemC) is desired, but not required.
- Project lead experience.
- Currently-held security clearance (DoD Secret, DoD TS).

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.
