Supports payload launch control systems engineering for submarine programs across the full product lifecycle. Responsibilities include requirements development, systems integration, interface definition, verification and validation, trade studies, risk management, test support, fleet issue resolution, technical refresh, and stakeholder presentations. The engineer may lead tasks, manage schedules and budgets, develop control-system algorithms, and interface with government, vendors, shipyards, and subcontractors. Work follows Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid development models and requires eligibility for a Secret clearance.

Provides waterfront fluid-systems engineering support for Virginia-class submarine construction and testing. Investigates shipyard and vendor issues, develops technical dispositions and letters, coordinates piping modifications, performs fluid-system calculations, and supports trades, test organizations, vendors, and off-site contractors. Responsibilities cover seawater, compressed gas, freshwater, ventilation, hydraulics, and auxiliary systems. Periodic overtime is expected for emergent construction and certification issues.

Develops accurate product structures and construction build plans for submarine programs. Leads Planning Pre-Start meetings, coordinates with industrial engineering, design, build, operations, and planning teams, evaluates customer feedback, supports construction readiness and process improvement, and documents new planning procedures. The role is onsite in New London, Connecticut, Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM.
