About The Position

This is a public notice flyer announcing anticipated vacancies; applications are not accepted through the flyer, and there may or may not be vacancies filled. The selected engineer will serve in the TEAM SUB Engineering Directorate (SUB-E) as Branch Head and supervisor for engineers and engineering technicians in either the Auxiliary Fluid and Air Systems Branch (SUB-E57A) or the Electrical Systems Branch (SUB-E57E). The role leads, manages, or provides technical oversight of maintenance and sustainment activities for assigned submarine systems, components, and attributes. It ensures that appropriate systems-engineering processes are applied throughout submarine systems life-cycle sustainment and manages engineering development programs and projects involving continuous system monitoring, evaluation, modification, and performance analysis.

The engineer stays current on technological advances and state-of-the-art applications relevant to developing products or theories in engineering fields such as aerospace, electrical, electronics, and mechanics. The position is responsible for all system-engineering aspects of the Performance Monitoring Program (PMP) for assigned systems, including developing or coordinating operational and technical documentation and procedures. It also provides engineering oversight of Condition Based Maintenance and Reliability Centered Maintenance practices and helps resolve technical issues for Performance Monitoring Teams and other systems engineers.
