Position Overview:
Support the resolution of Naval Architectural engineering issues on new construction, maintenance,
repair, and conversion projects. We will also consider less experienced candidates whom meet most of
the qualifications. The candidate will participate in all phases of construction such as projects consisting
of design preparations, project and procurement planning, engineering and engineering execution. The
architect will assist in the assurance that the goals and objectives of engineering projects are
accomplished within the prescribed engineering plans, schedules and budgets, and that the work is in
complete satisfaction of the requirements.
Responsibilities:
Duties include reviewing structural calculations, key plans and assembly drawings for correctness,
accuracy and compliance with the Job Specification, NAVSEA requirements, GSO specifications, Shipyard
standards, applicable Regulatory or classification society and flag state requirements.
•
Review, analyze, research, prepare correspondence, recommend corrective action, consult with
the customer and participate in conferences pertaining to structural manufacturing, installation, battle
damage, corrosion damage deficiencies and waterfront problems.
•
Determine the technical adequacy, evaluates, renders opinion on; engineering
recommendations as reflected in documents such as test forms, design audits, ESRs, TAAS jobs,
MSR/ABR/vendor information requests, deviation requests, instruction books, general arrangement,
component assembly, detailed drawings, and repair/modernization specifications.
•
Consult and provide engineering recommendations and aid in the form of technical comments
and conference representation for the division supervisor and other RMC departments in connection
with design, construction, testing, conversion, and repair of Navy vessels.
•
Perform work as the Engineering representative on ship repair and modernization projects by
facilitating the identification and mitigation of design, construction, and program risks.
•
Conduct ship checks (climbing, stooping, crawling, and kneeling) to determine conformance and
non-conformance of structural items, to include sketches, pictures, and discussion with shipboard crew
members and Waterfront operations members.
•
Provide comprehensive discipline expertise in all areas of Naval Architecture by reviewing and
responding to structural Engineering Services Requests (ESR), Departure from Specifications (DFS),
Technical Assessment Alteration System (TAAS) and work specifications and associated references.
•
Develop detailed installation plans to effect alterations and repairs to U.S. Naval ships. In the
design process the selected candidate must incorporate existing NAVSEA guidance and overcome
problems created by limited space and interferences on board ship. In addition, the Naval Architect
must take into account such factors as physical characteristics of equipment or systems to be existing
ship's systems.
•
Complex structural calculations are performed to predict the behavior of the structural
component under an assumed loading and, using these results, a detailed design is developed to insure
safe and efficient operation.
•
The Naval Architect is assigned many projects that are highly complex or unusual in nature
which require the considerable adaption of precedents or the design of features for which precedents
are not directly applicable.
•
Coordinates the technical phases of the work with supporting personnel in the branch and
other branches in Engineering to assure necessary action is taken by them.
•
As Lead Structural Engineer assigned to a production availability event, the selected candidate
will be tasked to solve many complex and varied problems in the field. This involves investigating and
determining the type and extent of the design or production problem encountered; resolving those in
own area of expertise, determining what additional areas of design expertise are needed to resolve the
problem, coordinating a design response with other technical groups and tracking the status of each
project to insure a timely resolution. The unusual and controversial nature of many of the questions
faced will require originality, creativity and experienced judgment in determining the best technical
resolution.
•
Review progress of design projects which are assigned to design service contractors. This
involves coordinating projects with the contractor to overcome problems encountered during the design
process and the review of final design products.
Requirements:
•
U.S. Citizen
•
Active Security Clearance

Bachelor’s degree in Naval Architecture or Shipboard Structural Engineering
•
Experience or exposure to developing and reviewing Marine Structural type drawings,
calculations, analyses for construction, conversion, or modernization of U.S. Naval ships.
•
Must be able to travel up to 20%
Required Knowledge
•
Familiarity with U.S. Naval regulations, standards
•
Professional knowledge of naval architectural and engineering concepts, principles, theories,

disciplines in an accredited college or university leading to a Bachelor of Science degree.
Preferred Knowledge
•
Knowledge of the required techniques, processes, and procedures established within SWRMC
or other RMCs, NAVSEA, ISEA, other Naval activities and commercial shipyards for the completion of
complex and varied engineering projects; to communicate effectively at conferences; to assist or obtain
assistance in accomplishing assignments; and to originate and route correspondence.
•
Extensive knowledge of the technical functions, objectives, and missions of SWRMC or other
RMCs, NAVSEA, ISEA, other Naval activities and commercial shipyards.
•
Substantial knowledge of the parameters and specifications of other branches of engineering
(marine, mechanical, electrical, electronics, metallurgy, welding, and habitability) as they affect and
relate to ship's structures and auxiliary systems.
