SAIC has an opening for an organized and motivated Mechanical Engineer who is looking for an opportunity to grow with our company as we continue to expand our business into new and exciting market segments. Work will be performed by a geographically dispersed SAIC team that works closely with Government personnel from the Navy Yard (Washington, DC), the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC), Division Keyport (Washington) and NUWC Division Newport (Rhode Island). The individual will be part of a collaborative team of engineers and support technicians working to bring projects from the early concept and design phase all the way through fabrication, system integration, and acceptance testing.
The technical area of focus is undersea weapons. This includes torpedo propulsion, torpedo test and evaluation, torpedo support equipment and other continually evolving tasking.
The candidate will need a broad engineering skillset, well-developed work habits, an enthusiasm for the work, a willingness to get hands-on with the projects when required, an eagerness to learn new things, and the ability to work through challenging projects without extensive oversight. These projects will broadly include the updating of legacy designs to resolve obsolescence issues and enable the efficient manufacturing of complex and robust electromechanical systems. Candidate will support the modernization of existing test and support equipment as well as the development of new support equipment for both production and research and development (R&D) purposes.
