The Role

The Propulsion Plant Engineering Activity (PPEA) group provides mission-driven engineering and design technical services supporting the U.S. Navy's Nuclear Propulsion Program (NNPP).

As an electrical engineer on our team you will lead teams that use graphical modeling tools as well as native C/C++ code to develop real-time software models of various electrical machines (power electronic converters, synchronous generators, induction motors, etc.) and their embedded control systems (voltage regulators, speed governors, etc.). Through this work, you will grow your propulsion plant knowledge by gaining a unique understanding of the design and operation of various naval reactor and steam plant systems and components - while tackling exciting and challenging assignments.

Our team prides itself on achieving and maintaining value for our customers by delivering timely and comprehensive technical solutions supporting the sailors and maintenance personnel who operate and maintain the U.S. Navy fleet.
