Entry-level Engineering position working with the Engineering: Noise, Sound, & Vibration Group

Position involves conducting engineering analysis, data acquisition,
testing, and reporting of various noise and vibration engineering issues
associated with electrical marine systems such as, but not limited to,
airborne acoustics, propulsion systems, electrical systems, power systems,
sonar noise, structureborne noise, alignment issues, weapon systems and
investigative research/testing for any and all other noise and vibration
issues that may arise at any given time for many different ship contracts at
land and at sea.  In addition to the proficiency expected from an
Engineering Technology graduate (such as all types of test and measurement
equipment, analog & digital circuit analysis, control systems design and
analysis, excellent technical report writing, critical thinking skills,
etc.) candidate should have a solid background knowledge of analog and
digital signal analysis and data acquisition with a broad understanding of
signal integrity, good measurement practices, and research skills.
Knowledge in various sensor transducer types such as accelerometers,
force/pressure transducers, strain gages, telemetry systems, amplifiers,
magnetic pick-ups, and data acquisition skills such as LabVIEW programming
is highly desired but not required for consideration.  In addition to field
work, candidate will be required to conduct analysis and produce and
interpret very technical engineering reports.  Candidate should be very
familiar with MS Office programs such as Excel, Word, Access, and
PowerPoint.  Other office duties include vibration vendor report reviews,
procedure writing and verification, filing, etc.  Occasional travel is also
required.  Candidate's ability to go on sea trials is a definite must.  The
job is a very "real-world" engineering position by not only requiring
research of noise and vibration issues, but also the acquisition,
measurement, and analysis of these issues as well and therefore is very
hands-on --- i.e. candidate should not be afraid to "get their hands dirty".
