Our Engineers and Designers put their skills and intellect into a mission that matters – building the ships our Navy’s Sailors and our nation depend on.
COURTESY OF GENERAL DYNAMICS BATH IRON WORKS
Renowned for our quality and innovation, General Dynamics Bath Iron Works has designed several of our Navy’s most important ship classes, including the DDG 51 Arleigh Burke class destroyers and the DDG 1000 Zumwalt class — the most technologically advanced surface combatant in the world.
BIW employs hundreds of Engineers and Designers helping to build the world’s most advanced and capable ships so U.S. Sailors can defend freedom of navigation around the world and return home safely to their families.
BIW is the premier designer, builder and life-cycle manager of surface combatants for the U.S. Navy, offering employees career variety and frequent opportunities for advancement. We have engineering, technician, designer and management roles across the breadth of disciplines, including Mechanical, Electrical, Structural (Civil) and Systems engineering as well as Ship Operating Engineers.
The Engineering Department offers deckplate support for engineering and design products throughout fabrication, assembly, installation, system set up, testing and trials. When a BIW ship heads into the Gulf of Maine for sea trials, BIW employees are at the helm, running and testing the systems we designed and built.
BIW Engineers and Designers are also responsible for ships already in the fleet, supporting modernization, maintenance and repair of DDG 51 and DDG 1000 ship classes. BIW maintains a presence in several homeports around the world, offering the opportunity for travel and extended stay at ports within the U.S. and overseas.
We are collaborating with the Navy on design of the next-generation surface combatant, DDG(X), ensuring we have important work for years to come.
Engineers can apply to join our Engineering Development Program or the Production Development Program — two-year programs that enable candidates to experience different roles in the shipyard to gain a broader understanding of the company, its processes and its business operations.
We are part of the General Dynamics family of businesses, a global aerospace and defense company that offers a broad portfolio of products and services in business aviation; ship construction and repair; land combat vehicles, weapons systems and munitions; and technology products and services. General Dynamics employs more than 100,000 people across 65 countries worldwide and generated $42.3 billion in revenue in 2023.
