This position focuses on evaluating equipment installations, determining optimal placement, and assessing the operational, structural, electromagnetic, and system-performance impacts associated with shipboard equipment arrangements.

The ideal candidate has experience with shipboard integration, CAD-based engineering analysis, equipment placement, and the technical considerations associated with antennas, sensors, radar systems, and other combat-system components.

This position is fully on-site. The salary range is $120,000 – $140,000 annually, depending on experience. A current, active security clearance that is at least secret level (or higher) is required.

Job Responsibilities:

• Perform engineering analyses supporting the design, placement, and integration of topside and below-deck combat-system equipment.

• Evaluate proposed equipment locations and recommend placement based on system performance, physical constraints, structural considerations, accessibility, interfaces, and installation requirements.

• Assess electromagnetic interference and compatibility (EMI/EMC), radiation hazards (RADHAZ), antenna and sensor placement, field-of-view, blockage, and other integration impacts.

• Evaluate environmental exposure, safety, survivability, aviation impacts, human factors, and operational constraints associated with shipboard equipment installations.

• Develop and review 2D/3D engineering models, CAD drawings, equipment layouts, and installation designs.

• Conduct feasibility studies, evaluate integration risks, compare design alternatives, and recommend modifications to improve system performance.

• Analyze system and test data to identify integration and performance issues and recommend corrective actions.

• Support ship checks, installation activities, engineering test events, verification, trials, and operational assessments.

• Collaborate with systems, mechanical, electrical, software, and other engineering teams to resolve technical and interface challenges.

• Develop technical analyses, engineering reports, design documentation, and presentations supporting program decisions.

Required Skills/Experience:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

• Five or more years of relevant engineering experience involving shipboard systems, equipment design, physical arrangements, system integration, or technical analysis.

• Experience using CAD or similar design tools to develop or review 2D/3D equipment layouts, arrangements, or installation drawings.

• Demonstrated experience evaluating equipment placement and physical integration, considering structural, operational, system, interface, accessibility, and installation constraints.

• Experience performing EMI/EMC, RADHAZ, antenna or sensor placement, field-of-view, blockage, interference, or comparable shipboard engineering analyses.

• Working knowledge of systems engineering processes, including requirements management, interface definition, integration, and verification/validation.

• Strong technical problem-solving, documentation, and communication skills.

• Ability to work on-site in Moorestown, NJ and support engineering activities in shipboard, test-site, or integration environments as required.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with the Aegis Weapon System or other U.S. Navy combat systems.

• Familiarity with Navy ship design, installation, certification, modernization, and sustainment processes.
