About This Role
This night-shift post on the cardiac ward pairs patient care with mentoring new nurses. This is a design-focused role that spans the full product lifecycle, from early concept development through hardware fabrication, installation, and on-site operation. This team supports multiple US Navy research and development facilities associated with top priority submarine weapon system development programs.
Responsibilities
- Lead mechanical design efforts from concept development through detailed design, fabrication support, and on-site commissioning
- Develop and review engineering drawings, models, and specifications using CAD and solid modeling software (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Inventor, or equivalent)
- Perform structural analysis to validate designs meet strength, fatigue, and safety requirements under operational loading conditions
- Evaluate designs for manufacturability, maintainability, and compliance with applicable codes and standards
- Drive projects through the full lifecycle — from initial concept and requirements definition through fabrication, installation, testing, and operational turnover
- Apply engineering expertise in high-pressure air and hydraulic systems, including component selection, system layout, pressure calculations, and safety system design
- Review and develop P&IDs, hydraulic schematics, and fluid system drawings to support design and fabrication activities
- Conduct and support pressure system design reviews in accordance with applicable standards (ASME, ANSI, or program-specific requirements)
- Troubleshoot high-pressure and hydraulic system anomalies in both design and field environments, identifying root cause and driving corrective actions
- Lead and actively participate in formal design reviews (PDR, CDR, and peer reviews), ensuring technical rigor, safety compliance, and design completeness
- Review work packages, installation procedures, and test plans to confirm accuracy, completeness, and alignment with engineering intent prior to field execution
- Evaluate proposed design changes and engineering change orders for technical feasibility, safety impact, and compliance
- Collaborate with senior engineers and cross-functional teams to translate requirements into robust, producible designs
- Work directly with vendors and fabricators to communicate design intent, clarify technical requirements, and ensure hardware is manufactured to specification
- Review vendor submittals, fabrication drawings, and material certifications to verify conformance with design requirements
- Support procurement activities by developing specifications, statements of work, and technical evaluation criteria for hardware and services
- Coordinate factory acceptance testing and witness inspections as required to validate hardware quality prior to delivery
