OverviewBackground investigation, US Citizenship, CAC, and a confidential security clearance are requirements of this position. Travel is 20%.TMMG is seeking a Senior Structural Engineer to support the Engineering Design Team (EDT) in delivering high-impact engineering solutions across naval and commercial shipbuilding programs. This role is not a traditional “desk-only” design position. The selected candidate will operate as a hands-on technical leader, bridging engineering, production, and waterfront execution. The engineer will be expected to solve real shipyard problems, validate designs against actual installed conditions, and ensure structural solutions support constructability, test readiness, and delivery schedules. The ideal candidate brings deep experience in ship structures, strong analysis and design capability, and the ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, multi-discipline environments.ResponsibilitiesStructural Design & AnalysisDevelop and review structural designs for hull structures, foundations, and reinforcements; equipment foundations (shock, vibration, and mission systems); deck structures, bulkheads, and support systemsPerform structural calculations and analyses, including static and dynamic loading, fatigue and stress analysis, shock and vibration (DDAM / Navy shock requirements preferred)Ensure compliance with ABS, USCG, NAVSEA, and applicable classification rules; contract specifications and regulatory requirementsShipyard & Waterfront IntegrationInterface directly with production teams, planning and scheduling, test & trials teamsValidate structural designs against as-built and installed conditions; construction sequencing and access constraintsIdentify and resolve design gaps impacting production, interferences and constructability issues; support deckplate problem-solving to keep work movingEngineering Change & Configuration ControlReview and develop Engineering Change Notices (ECNs), work orders and field changes; assess impacts to structure integrity, schedule, sequencing, material and installation; ensure structural changes are technically sound and buildable in the shipyardShock, Load & Specialty AnalysisPerform or support equipment mounting and foundation design; load path verification and structural adequacy; support analytical assessments, data requirements definition, and technical reportingDrawing Development & ReviewDevelop and review 2D drawings and structural details (AutoCAD or equivalent); 3D model outputs (Navisworks, ShipConstructor, or similar); ensure drawings reflect real installation conditions and support production sequencing; align with configuration control requirementsClient & Program SupportInterface with clients, including shipyards, government representatives (NAVSEA, USCG, MSC), OEMs and vendors; provide technical recommendations and clear, actionable communication; support proposal efforts and technical write-ups when neededMentorship & LeadershipProvide technical guidance to junior engineers, designers and drafters; establish best practices for structural design and analysis and shipyard integration; serve as a go-to technical authority within EDTQualificationsBachelor's Degree in Naval Architecture, Structural Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering (with structural focus); Master's degree preferred10+ years of experience in naval or commercial shipbuilding; strong background in structural design and analysisProven experience supporting shipyard construction or waterfront executionExperience with ABS, USCG, and/or NAVSEA standardsProficiency in AutoCAD (required); 3D modeling tools (preferred); experience with FEA tools (FEMAP, ANSYS, NX-NASTRAN, etc.)Strong analytical skills; ability to interpret and develop technical drawings and translate engineering into buildable solutionsExcellent communication and teamwork abilities; capable of working in fast-paced, multi-discipline environmentsRequired Technical SkillsStructural analysis methods and calculationsAutoCAD (required); Navisworks, ShipConstructor or equivalentFinite Element Analysis tools (FEMAP, ANSYS, NX-NASTRAN, etc.)Shock analysis (DDAM preferred); ability to verify load paths and structural adequacyPreferred QualificationsProfessional Engineer (PE) licenseExperience on Naval vessels (DDG, LCS, OPC, MSC) or offshore/commercial vesselsFamiliarity with configuration management systems and Test & Trials processesExperience in multi-shipyard or multi-program environmentsKey CompetenciesExecution-Focused Mindset; understands engineering must work in the yardProblem solving at the deckplate level; integrator of disciplinesBridges engineering, production, and testing; schedule-aware; cost and delivery mindfulClear communication; ability to explain complex issues to stakeholders#J-18808-Ljbffr
