ENGINEER 3
(Requisition #: 44919)

University of Washington
Applied Physics Laboratory
Seattle, WA

The University of Washington (UW) is proud to be one of the nation’s premier educational and research institutions. Our people are the most important asset in our pursuit of achieving excellence in education, research, and community service. Our staff not only enjoy outstanding benefits and professional growth opportunities, but also an environment noted for diversity, community involvement, intellectual excitement, artistic pursuits, and natural beauty.
The Applied Physics Laboratory is a premier center for research, development and advanced education in science and engineering. APL was formed in 1943 at the request of the U.S. Navy to bring university resources to bear on urgent WWII defense problems. From a wartime beginning focused on effective torpedo exploders, APL-UW initiated acoustic studies and oceanographic research programs to understand how variations in the ocean environment affected the performance of Navy systems.

Decades of acoustic and oceanographic studies yielded an understanding of the world's deep oceans, and now APL-UW scientists are developing expertise in coastal and small-scale oceanography and the new physics required for tactical superiority in shallow water environments. Our scientists and engineers make important contributions to understanding the earth's climate cycles with satellite and in situ sensing of ocean winds, currents, and air-sea fluxes; observations of Arctic sea ice, its variations and effects on mid-latitude oceans; and ocean tomography that reveals how the abyssal ocean mixes and sequesters carbon. APL-UW continues to lead research in the basic and applied physics of sound—from sonars used to probe the geology of the deep ocean floor to hand-held high-frequency focused ultrasound devices to image and stop internal bleeding without surgery.
The Applied Physics Laboratory seeks a Mechanical Engineer to support oceanographic and underwater acoustic research programs. The Mechanical Engineer will be responsible for the design, construction and field deployment of mechanical systems for oceanographic and acoustic instrumentation. Design tasks will be varied and may range from structural frames and pressure vessels to electronics chassis and hydraulic systems. Special emphasis will be placed on the design of mechanical and electromechanical systems for long term operation in the ocean. The job will entail work in the following areas:

• Hardware design using SolidWorks
• Stress analysis using both ANSYS FEA and empirical equations
• Deep ocean mooring design
• Coordination with in-house machine shop for the fabrication of parts
• Assembly and testing of mechanical hardware
• Installation of oceanographic equipment
• At-sea operation of systems

Requirements:
• BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering
• Minimum of 3 years’ design experience
• Must be US citizens capable of obtaining a security clearance
• Experience with mechanical computer-aided design tools
• Must be physically capable of working at sea in small to large vessels for extended periods and willing to perform such duties.
• Ability to work independently, and as part of a research team, interacting cooperatively with people from diverse backgrounds, academic levels, and nationalities.

Equivalent education/experience will substitute for all minimum qualifications except when there are legal requirements, such as a license/certification/registration.

Desired:
• Heat Transfer Analysis
• Fluid Mechanics
• Proficient in the creation of mechanical drawings
• Hydraulic Systems
• Corrosion Control
• Simulation of mechanical systems using computer tools
• Scuba diver
Condition of Employment:
• Must be US citizens capable of obtaining a security clearance
• Must be physically capable of working at sea in small to large vessels for extended periods and willing to perform such duties.

Salary:
Salary and benefits are competitive. Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience.

A satisfactory outcome from a criminal background verification will be required prior to hire.

Two internships available Paid, full-time, 12-month duration with possible extensions.

The NOAA ship Okeanos Explorer (EX) is a new research vessel dedicated to exploring unknown areas of the deep-ocean. The vessel is equipped with a full ocean depth multibeam sonar mapping system and a two-bodied, deep-water remotely operated vehicle (ROV) system capable to diving to 6000m. Images, video, data and other information will be broadcast from the ship using a state-of-the-art satellite system to the Internet and Internet 2 and to science command centers located across the country. To help accomplish these operations, NOAA's Office of Ocean Exploration (OE) has identified the need for two physical scientist (PS) positions, serving as hydrographers, focused on mapping-centric activities, specifically habitat mapping. Each PS will rotate between sea duty and shore-based duty stations.

Shipboard:
The PS will be primarily responsible for maintaining and operating the vessel’s hydrographic survey equipment, and managing associated mapping data. These duties include sonar data acquisition, data processing, data management and product generation. Secondarily, the PS will be expected to help manage and archive all data aboard the vessel including mapping data and any video and photo imagery associated with the ROV. The PS will also be expected to help with ROV operations, though this is an ancillary responsibility, and those exact duties will depend on the skills and desires of the selected candidate. Must be able to maintain and operate all mapping-related software packages and technology associated with sonar data acquisition and data management. Must also help maintain and support the mission-related computer systems, networking infrastructure and mission specific software packages.

Will be involved in the design, development and implementation of new equipment and/or software related to maintaining and/or improving sonar system capabilities. Will also create advanced mapping products unique to EX’s missions, and analyze operating programs and make constructive recommendations for improvements. Other duties may include contributing to shipboard documentation; representing the vessel and Ocean Exploration at internal and external meetings; and writing and presenting papers at conferences relted to EX operations.

On Shore:
Physical scientist will be based at the Joint Hydrographic Center (JHC) at the University of New Hampshire, which focuses on research and development. Shore based duties include post-processing and product development of EX mapping data and other non-charting mapping missions; supporting the processing center’s data management and archiving paradigms; develop advanced, nontraditional mapping products. Other mapping-centric duties may arise based upon opportunities and direction from the JHC staff.

Required Skills:
1 year + relevant hydrographic or mapping experience that includes general knowledge of hydrographic surveying and data processing and product creation, specifically with multibeam sonar systems, ideally with Simrad equipment and software. Must have the ability to apply analytical and evaluative methods used to gather, analyze, and evaluate information about organizational design and management processes and to learn specific tasks related to data acquisition. Should have data management experience, and have the ability to help create and maintain an efficient data pipeline and data network, conduct studies on programs involved in managing data, identify procedural problems using quantitative/qualitative methods to analyze findings and be able to make clear recommendations on system improvements. Must have experience operating shipboard water sampling equipment and environment sensor technology and associated software, which includes but is not limited to, CTD, XBT, and thermosalinographs; Have experience with ancillary equipment directly supporting multibeam sonars, such as heave/pitch/roll sensors and geographic position system units.

Computer literacy - experience with personal computers and standard Windows computer operating systems; Word processing, spreadsheet software and database management required. Skilled with sonar processing software (such as Caris) and GIS software (Mapinfo or ArcInfo) required. Strong interpersonal skills and communication skills, both verbal and written. Must be physically fit and medically qualified to spend 130 days at sea per year. Prefer experience with life aboard an ocean research vessel.

Education:
Bachelor’s degree or Master's degree that includes at least 24 semester hours in physical science, engineering, or mathematics and/or related technical discipline.
