With this business, Electric Boat provides mission-ready submarines to the fleet through the repair and modernization of delivered submarines. Specifically, D704 Systems Test Engineers provide non-nuclear engineering support during all facets of work from planning to deck plate trade execution and throughout final test and certification. The D704 systems engineering group has cognizance over piping and mechanical systems and operates in a collaborative, dynamic and team-oriented work environment. Using a design-build approach, Department 704 interfaces with Operations, Design, Planning Yard, Test, and Program Office personnel in order to arrive at innovative solutions to difficult problems. Interaction with the United States Navy (USN) customer is typical, including the Supervisor of Shipbuilding Groton (SSGR), Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), and submarine crews. Awareness and understanding of military specifications, submarine shipbuilding specifications and design criteria, USN maintenance/overhaul requirements, and special emphasis programs are developed through focused computer-based or classroom training, on-the-job training, qualification programs and mentoring. D704 requires personnel responsible for developing technical work documents, providing technical direction and oversight, as well as resolving shipboard conditions associated with the following: Mechanical component failure or damage due to in-service use Seawater and non-seawater piping and components Compressed air systems and ventilation Hydraulic systems and controls Masts & antennas Steering and diving systems Steam and propulsion plant components Combat systems (mechanical elements) Unrestricted Operation Maintenance Requirement Card (URO-MRC) certification of ships for unrestricted use. Pressure hull, non-pressure hull and control surface structure Submarine coating systems and cathodic protection systems Material loss due to corrosion Non-metallic coverings and treatments Internal structures, foundations, lockers/stowages, hatches, fairing and manhole covers Ship alterations and improvements Fabrication and welding techniques Specific tasks required by a D704 Systems Test Engineer include, but are not limited to: Planning of submarine maintenance and modernization work including development of work breakdown structures and technical work documents Interpretation and translation of shipbuilding specifications, maintenance requirements and contractual requirements into clear and concise technical work documents Providing deck plate support to shipyard trades and resolution of emergent issues during execution of technical work documents Understanding maintenance criteria, submarine piping, mechanical and structural drawings as well as machining and welding processes Success in this environment requires that every task be accomplished with a collaborative, hands-on, proactive and deadline-driven yet technically rigorous approach. Training in the use of fall protection for high work safety, limited radiation worker qualifications and steam plant training may be required for certain tasks.
