The successful candidate will join the Accuracy Control & Optical Tool group supporting construction at the Groton facility, a dynamic and fast-paced work environment requiring prompt and technically sound dimensional control solutions in shipbuilding.
The Accuracy Control & Optical Tool team is responsible for all phases of the dimensional control process in shipbuilding: dimensional control requirement definition and work control, job planning, execution, processing and presentation of as-built data, and continuous improvement. Data gathered during the execution phase are used to develop cut lines, align and install ship components, support machining operations and fabrication work, pair major modules, inform subsequent construction decisions and support ship certification.
The job requires the Senior Analyst to develop configuration controlled dimensional control documents and procedures, work with metrology Technicians to determine the proper tooling for the job, work with metrology Technicians to review site conditions for 3-dimensional surveys, and process as-built data for further shipyard direction or reporting, while working safely and with a high degree of accuracy. Senior Analysts routinely interface with the metrology Technicians, other engineering groups, Operations groups, Ship’s Management, other shipyards vendors and external customers. The Senior Analst also supports engineering and metrology technicians in surveying and processing routine and emergent projects. Therefore, the successful candidate must have good interpersonal and communication skills.
The successful candidate must be willing to travel occasionally to support ship schedules.
