Submarine Structural Engineer with URO 3 Specialty

Job Description:

Submarine Structural Engineer with URO MRC 003 Specialty

Analyzes URO MRC 003 data associated with submarine hull structure surveys (e.g., visual inspections, NDT reports) and based on established criteria, determines if material condition is acceptable or requires repairs, documents results, and recommends subsequent actions (e.g., accept as is, conduct repairs) to shipyard engineering. This analysis may require personally conducting shipboard inspections and entering shipboard tanks (e.g., Main Ballast Tanks). If repairs are required, develops repair instructions to address noted deficiencies.

Bremerton, Wa

This Position is located at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.

Specific responsibilities include but may not be limited to:

• Waterfront assessment of hull structure material condition.
• Conduct visual inspections of hull structure.
• Coordinate with NDT Inspectors to conduct on-site shipboard inspections.
• Interpret results of inspections.
• Interpret and apply technical manuals, specifications, and drawings related to submarine structure.

• Propose Repair Solutions.

• Write and review repair procedures.
• Interface with cognizant shipyard personnel (e.g., engineers, QA inspectors, production shop mechanics, etc.).

Required Skills And/Or Experience:

• Minimum 5 years’ job related experience in submarine hull design procedures and criteria, specifically URO MRC 003; Navy Ship systems engineering and NDT processes.

The Position Requires Knowledge Of:

• Submarine Structural Integrity requirements for submarine design and construction.
• Structural mechanics: A strong understanding of structural mechanics principles, including stress analysis, fatigue analysis, buckling analysis, and fracture mechanics.
• Materials science: Knowledge of the properties and behavior of materials used in submarine construction (e.g., high-strength steel).
• Welding and fabrication: Familiarity with welding processes and fabrication techniques used in submarine construction and repair.
• Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Understanding of structural NDT programs to validate designs and ensure structural integrity such a Visual Test (VT), Ultrasonic Test (UT), Penetrant Test (PT), and Magnetic Test (MT) Procedures.
• Knowledge of Navy Unrestricted Operations Maintenance Requirements Card (URO MRC) Program, specifically URO MRC 003 – Conduct Hull Survey: Familiarity with US Navy URO MRC Program as applied to submarine hull structure analysis.
