The largely unexplored seafloor is the latest battle space. This challenging environment is where the Subsea and Seabed Warfare (SSW) platform will take the stage. SSW is a new capability targeted for a single, late-Block-V Virginia Class submarine. It is a complex, fast-moving program with strong Navy and Congressional support.

Platform System Engineering (D417) is seeking a highly motivated individual to serve as the Systems Engineering Test Lead.

• Overseeing the efforts of the IS&T IPT and drive issues to closure
• Mitigating SSW test risks
• Ensuring test assignment for applicable design requirements
• Assisting in the development of Non-Propulsion Test Index and Master Test Index

Assignments and responsibilities will be based on the selected applicants’ experience levels, skill sets, and ambitions, as well as on the evolving needs of each project.
