• Ability to read SSC construction dwgs, be able to navigate through the “Solid Works” model they are extracted from, and be able to navigate through the production “Routings”/“Nest Tapes” which are generated by the construction dwgs
• Ability to formulate and interpret hull structural finite element “FEM” models derived from TMS “Solid Works” models and be able to identify SSC design high stress areas
• Weight proficiency is especially important on SSC, since the contract imposes a “not to exceed” weight (with penalties imposed)
• Knowledge in developing and interpreting Naval Architectural ballast/deballast calculations to ensure that fuel and cargo loading requirement for both full load and “min-op” conditions are successfully demonstrated during Stages 5-7 SSC testing
• Enforce/interpret Mil-Std-1689 and Navy T0300-AU-SPN-10 “Spin 10” Aluminum fabrication and welding requirements
• Interpret all SSC Project Peculiar Documents which modify Mil-Std-1689 and “Spin 10”
• Knowledge in SSC skirt design/production
• Perform SSC skirt geometry verification and co-ordinate with LPD/LHD well deck certification authorities to ensure that the inflated skirt meets certification requirements
• Ability to perform structural calculations and determine the acceptability of all Contractor proposed load testing is technically acceptable on SSC.
• Assess the structural adequacy of Contractor SSC hull turnover and SSC component lifting devises are adequate
• Develop and implement SSC dissimilar metal segregation and corrosion inspection plans
• Ensure that all hull electrical, piping, and other fastened installations meet SSC dissimilar metal segregation requirements
• Participate in the inspection hull structural members to ensure that adequate drainage is provided to mitigate hull corrosion

Educational Requirements:

• BA/BS degree in required

Experience Requirements:

• Knowledge of high stress areas will aide in determining hull candidate areas for close inspection/test scrutiny
• Ability to derive and interpret SSC hull fatigue calculations
• Knowledge of SSC fatigue design methodologies will aide in ensuring that welding and other production process do not induce un-necessary residual stresses in these areas
• Ability to perform and interpret SSC vibration calculations
• Ability to monitor production processes to ensure that SSC hull construction is watertight and that hull assembly builds in all fuel/stops into tanks
• Ability to perform and provide troubleshooting for SSC hull and tank Stage 2 “completion” and “tightness” testing
• Candidate must be able to identify water-tightness issues and possess the ability to determine if the issues are design or workmanship related
• Provide a proposed repair or design modification solutions
• Knowledge in Navy weight control methodologies including the ability to navigate through Navy Quarterly Weight Reports, Inclining Experiments, and in implementing SSC Weight requirements

Other Requirements:

• Active Secret Clearance
