• Supporting robotic system upgrades with external vendors to allow Electric Boat to have the advantage in structural submarine fabrication.
• Conduct production floor surveillances to ensure procedural compliance in robotic work centers.
• Providing technical guidance for the application of all robotics processes (Plasma cutting, GMAW, SMAW, SAW, TSAW, and GTAW)
• Maintaining procedural and specification compliance oversight for submarine structural documents (NAVSEA specifications, Electric Boat standard procedures, and design drawings)
• Performing root cause analyses and evaluating problem resolution strategies for a wide variety of issues as required.
• Coordinating with functional area leads to identify opportunities for process improvement.
• Supporting performance tracking goals by maintaining department cognizant data inputs and reports.
• Leading upgrade and improvement projects.
• Interfacing with multiple stakeholders from Engineering, Operations, Program Management and the Navy Customer.
• *The qualified candidate will report to the D341 Robotics Construction Support Supervisor at Electric Boat’s North Kingstown, RI location (Quonset Point).
Qualifications:
Required:
• Bachelor’s of Science degree or higher in Robotic Engineering, Welding Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Software or Computer Engineering or equivalent Engineering Technology degree
• 1-5 years of post graduate relevant job experience
• This is a 1st shift position with flexibility required to work on 2nd shift based on business needs
• Strong background in coding with any major language
• Experience with technical writing (procedures, reports, briefings, memos, other submittals)
