Descrição da oferta de emprego

U.S. Navy AEGIS Weapon System Integration, Testing, and Systems Engineering

The company doing this work is small and specialized. It has partnered with this customer since 2007 and supported Aegis since 2015. Its 36 engineers on the program work as part of the customer’s team, not as outside contractors kept at arm’s length. Across the East Coast, it hasn’t had a layoff in nearly two decades, and it keeps its engineers. If you have had a program cancelled out from under you, this is a different situation.

The Work

This is hands-on systems engineering. You’ll trace problems from test events through the requirements and into the code, document anomalies and deficiencies, and see them through to resolution. You’ll do it alongside engineers who have supported this system for years, with a manager who mentors rather than micromanages.

Day to day, you’ll:

• Break down Navy requirements and manage them in DOORS, with full traceability
• Read and debug C++ to investigate problem reports and find root cause
• Plan and carry out verification and validation
• Work problem reports through evaluation and closure
• Contribute to test plans and carry out integration and test
• Take part in environmental test and evaluation (ET&E)
• Work with test engineers on automated analyses across levels 1 through 5 testing
• Take part in classified lab testing and combat system initialization
• Present technical findings clearly, in writing and in person, to engineers and the Navy

Coming From Space, Aviation, or Another Defense Program?

Prior Aegis experience is welcome but not required. If you have written requirements, built test procedures, run test readiness reviews, or traced verification to test in DOORS on a complex aerospace or defense system, that experience carries over. You will need hands-on C++, DOORS, and V&V.

Who This Is For

Mid to senior engineers who want to stay hands-on. This is an individual contributor role, not a program management or people management position.

Required

• Bachelor’s in Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related discipline
• Hands-on experience with Rational DOORS or DOORS Next Generation
• Hands-on C++, enough to read code, investigate issues, and troubleshoot defects
• Hands-on verification and validation (V&V) experience on complex engineering systems
• Strong technical writing and verbal communication
• U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret clearance

Preferred

• Shipboard systems
• Space or aerospace programs
• Problem reporting and evaluation processes
• Automated test analysis
• Cameo or SysML
• MATLAB
• Python
• DataShark

Details

• Full-time W2
• On-site in Mount Laurel, NJ
• $120,000 to $150,000 per year
• Clearance: an active Secret is preferred, and a recently lapsed clearance that is eligible for reinstatement also works. If you have neither and you’re an outstanding, motivated, diligent engineer, the company may sponsor your clearance.

Flexible Schedules the Team Loves

• 4/10: four 10-hour days, with every Friday off
• 9/80: mostly 9-hour days, with every other Friday off
• Standard: five 8-hour days, Monday through Friday
• On any schedule, you can take a shorter lunch and leave earlier
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Safe Harbor 401(k)
• Generous paid time off (PTO)
• Short-term and long-term disability
• Life insurance
• Tuition assistance for higher ed and continued learning opportunities
• Veteran-owned, long-tenured team, happy engineers who love their work.
