(NAVSEA: Washington) -- The U.S. Navy ’ s largest systems command, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), is recruiting displaced mid-career automotive engineering professionals.

At a time when many companies are downsizing, NAVSEA continues to need mid-career employees―particularly engineers, scientists, and skilled tradesmen. Positions are open at NAVSEA’s headquarters and affiliated program executive offices in Washington, D.C., as well as naval warfare centers, shipyards and Navy-sponsored University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs) across the country.

"These are experienced, mid-career men and women who can immediately make a contribution to our organization, says NAVSEA Commander Vice Adm. Kevin McCoy. "They come from diverse backgrounds, and can help us think in different ways in terms of manufacturing: Lean initiatives, production line techniques and modern design. These are great Americans whose skills and experience across the engineering and project management disciplines would prove a great addition to our workforce."

At a career fair in Livonia, Michigan, last month, NAVSEA recruiters collected more than 240 resumes from qualified applicants who were interested in transitioning from designing cars to developing and maintaining U.S. Navy ships and systems.
