Lead the hardware engineering vision behind mission-critical Maritime products. The SEIT (System Engineering Integration & Test) Hardware Engineering Lead provides technical leadership across Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering, connecting functional expertise with system integration, verification, and test execution across the Power Systems, Acoustics and Imaging Systems, and Integrated Systems and Encryption divisions.
This highly visible leadership role is ideal for a technical leader who enjoys solving complex integration challenges, shaping consistent engineering practices, and working directly with engineers, program teams, Chief Engineers, and senior leaders.

The Lead identifies systemic technical risks, drives root-cause resolution, and strengthens upfront engineering rigor to reduce downstream rework, integration issues, and test delays. This position partners closely with Maritime SEIT, functional engineering leaders, Division Chief Engineers, Program Management, and program teams.
