OverviewThe Newport Engineering Office (NEO) department is seeking an experienced engineer to be a member of the Simulation/Stimulation (Sim/Stim) system design and development team in Middletown, RI. The Sim/Stim team applies diversified engineering skills to produce simulation and stimulation test products in support of the Command and Control System Module (CCSM) Off-Hull Assembly and Test Site (COATS) facilities for VIRGINIA and COLUMBIA classes of submarines. These Sim/Stim products are deployed at multiple contractor sites in support of tactical systems development and require lifecycle support, maintenance, and technical refresh.
The engineers will also interface with customers and end users. Some travel is required for certain positions.
Experienced engineers lead system and subsystem design, drive requirements development, perform hardware architecture definition, design analog/digital/embedded subsystems, integrate COTS and custom electronics, build and test rack-level hardware, and perform deep-dive troubleshooting of complex signal paths. Responsibilities include technical leadership, mentoring junior engineers, supporting lifecycle upgrades, and working with customers, test partners (CWITT, NUWC, LM), and manufacturing.
This role provides the opportunity to shape future Sim/Stim architectures and deliver critical Navy test capabilities.
QualificationsRequired:- Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical, Computer or Systems Engineering
- Minimum of 5+ years of post-graduate engineering experience
- Experience using schematic capture tools (ex. OrCAD, Multisim, etc.)
- Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance through the Department of Defense
Preferred:- Knowledge of SONAR, navigation, ship control, or tactical system interfaces
- Familiarity with simulation/stimulation concepts for arrays, sensors, or embedded electronics
- Experience with OrCAD Schematic Capture,
- Experience with PCB design and layout principles
- Working knowledge of JIRA, Git, or GitLab
- Experience using IBM DOORS for requirements capture, traceability, and baseline management.
- Experience integrating COTS systems
