Description The applicant shall join the Leidos Gibbs & Cox Survivability Department as an Electrical Engineer to the naval ship design team located in Washington, D.C. The applicant must work well in a team environment and be willing to learn new skill sets related to Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) as part of the Navy’s pursuit of a state‑of‑the‑art ship design. E3 topics include electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), interference (EMI), pulse (EMP) and vulnerability (EMV). The candidate will work under an E3 subject matter expert and help provide technical expertise in the analysis, mitigation, and management of electromagnetic interference for the ship design. This role is responsible for ensuring that shipboard systems meet EMC requirements, while using test and analysis techniques to solve complex EMI challenges.
Location This is a hybrid position that allows for remote work from a home office. However, the selected candidate must be available to work onsite at our Washington, D.C. office at least 2 days per week, or as business needs require.
Primary Responsibilities
Use electrical and/or engineering problem solving techniques to resolve E3 issues.
Learn the basics of MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-464 and how they relate to Navy ship design.
Help streamline EMI qualifications for the ship class and optimize E3 performance.
Obtain knowledge about shielding, filtering, grounding, and suppression techniques for mitigating EMI.
Provide ship design guidance for implementing survivability features to restore functionality after sustaining damage and instruct damage mitigation concepts (from an electrical perspective) after a threat event.
Design and execute experiments and field tests to assess EMI impacts and validate mitigation strategies.
Develop processes to minimize top‑side EMI capable of disrupting communication systems, navigation equipment and other critical electronic systems.
Brief Navy stakeholders and interdisciplinary teams on technical specifications, analysis, calculations, and design recommendations to ensure compliance with EMI standards and requirements.
Assist with tailoring future EMI, shielding effectiveness and EMP threat protection requirements.
Review MIL-STD-461 test procedures, waivers and reports and witness EMI qualification testing.
Identify electrical design deficiencies and develop recommendations for solutions.
Conduct classified EMV assessments and briefs.
Support offsite Environmental Qualification Test events at land‑based test centers (system level), commercial test facilities (component level) and aboard Navy ships (sea trials).
Perform shipboard inspections to validate designs and proper installation of equipment.
Basic Qualifications
BS Degree in Electrical Engineering or relevant discipline.
2+ years Electrical Engineering experience in a DOD related field (RF design, power distribution, component level design or electrical testing for the U.S. Navy or other military applications).
Understanding of electrical principles and concepts.
Works well in a team environment.
Ability to read, understand, and interpret engineering drawings and specifications.
Ability to work independently and with local/remote team members and customers.
Ability to perform basic physical tasks, including lifting, carrying equipment (up to 20 lbs), standing for extended periods, and navigating through a ship.
U.S. citizen and must have or be able to obtain a US SECRET security clearance.
Must be able to travel domestically and internationally up to 25% of the time.
Willingness to learn new skills to become a subject matter expert.
Qualifications
Knowledge of EMI, E3 or environmental qualification testing.
Experience in Navy ship design or shipyard practices.
Familiarity interpreting and applying military standards MIL‑STD‑461 and MIL‑STD‑464.
Hands‑on experience with electronics (soldering, electric wiring, circuit breakers, transformers).
Familiarity with vendors that provide commercial or government‑furnished equipment for use aboard U.S. Navy ships.
Previous experience in survivability design for surface combatants and/or submarine ship design(s).
Intermediate knowledge of naval architecture and marine systems.
Strong technical writing and written/oral communication skills.
