- performing engineering calculations
Responsibilities
- evaluations that support development of the test program for propulsion plant fluid systems
- concept development for future propulsion plants including fluid system design
- analysis (impacts to safety, cost, schedule, performance, operations, and maintenance)
- arrangement integration (where things are located on the boat)
- component development (what is needed to support the overall plant design)
- lead teams to develop new ideas and concepts and work to bring them to fruition
