Opportunities exist within the following department teams:
STRATEGIC WEAPONS SYSTEMS ENGINEERING
This diverse group, comprised of 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. We are responsible for integrating government furnished equipment (GFE) and systems into the boat, as well as developing systems to support the strategic weapon. This highly effective team is also responsible for ensuring that the government furnished information and Coordinated requirements are successfully integrated into the submarine design. The team moves products from the concept phase, through requirement definition, design, build, test, integration and the full life cycle.
STRATEGIC WEAPONS SYSTEMS ENGINEERING ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS
SWS Engineering Electronic Systems team is responsible for the design, development, qualification, integration, and in fleet support of the electrical control system elements required to control the environment of the ballistic missile tubes on the COLUMBIA, DREADNOUGHT, and OHIO Class submarines. These elements include sensors, human machine interfaces, embedded systems (PLC architecture), controllers, and application software.
STRATEGIC WEAPONS SYSTEMS ENGINEERING SIMULATION & TEST
The Simulation and Test group has three primary focuses
Development of custom simulators, which model the behavior of ship systems
Development of custom test equipment, used in construction grooming
Requirements verification of SWS components for both US and UK Submarine components
Our simulators are developed to support requirements testing of both tactical and test equipment. A variety of languages are used including Simulink, LabVIEW, and Java to develop software which may be deployed on a range of hardware, from PLCs to embedded systems running Linux, Windows and real-time operating systems. The team also develops custom test equipment used for ship system qualification, and for the Strategic Weapons System Ashore (SWSA) facility monitoring and testing. Finally, the team focuses on requirements verification, which follows formal requirement-based test methods. Systems engineering best practices are employed to develop requirements and test procedures to support design certification of simulators and tactical systems.
