Overview
D430 Strategic Weapons Systems Engineering
Strategic Weapons Systems (SWS) Engineering, Department 430, develops in-house embedded systems and integrates government furnished equipment to support the Strategic Weapons Systems of the Columbia Class and other submarine classes.
Department 430 offers a flexible work arrangement that allows some work to be performed remotely and at home. This varies from position to position based on a few variables. Please ask for more details on how it applies to this opening during discussions with the department.
Entry level opportunities exist within the following department teams:
STRATEGIC WEAPONS SYSTEMS ENGINEERING
This diverse group, comprised of degreed engineers of varied backgrounds and years of Navy experience, performs system and component engineering for the Strategic Weapons Systems (SWS) and Strategic Weapons Support Systems (SWSS) for COLUMBIA/Dreadnought submarine classes. The team moves products from the concept phase, through requirement definition, design, build, test, integration and the full life cycle.
This highly effective team is responsible for:
Ensuring government furnished information (GFI) and Coordinated requirements are successfully integrated into the submarine design
Integrating government furnished equipment (GFE) and systems into the boat
Developing systems and components to support the strategic weapon
Designing and qualifying contractor furnished equipment to meet both government furnished requirements and ship specifications
System Engineering responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
Develop concept of operations for new equipment and systems
Derive system level requirements and capture them in DOORS
Allocate system requirements to components and ensure proper traceability
Review test documentation to ensure all system level requirements have been verified
Collaborate with design team to develop cabling diagrams, wiring tables, component disclosures and cable routing products representative of our systems and component designs
Manager vendors to requirements, schedules and budgets
Support arrangement reviews to confirm proper integration of coordination and GFI requirements
Develop algorithm requirements
Review life cycle documentation to ensure procedures accurately reflect system functionality
Review Coordination and GFI to ensure common system interfaces are defined
Review kit documentation and certify material in accordance with kit schedules
Manage product schedules and budgets
