Systems Engineer- NAVY Submarine Combat Systems

Responsibilities

Arcfield is seeking a Submarine Combat Systems Engineer to help shape future capabilities for the U.S. Navy's AN/BYG-1 Submarine Combat Control System. This role is ideal for an experienced submarine Fire Control Technician, SONAR Technician, combat systems operator, or engineer who understands how submarine weapons, sensors, tactical systems, and payloads come together in an operational environment.

You will bring real-world fleet experience into research, development, testing, and engineering efforts that support future submarine combat capabilities. Your operational perspective will help technical teams understand how proposed requirements, concepts, and technologies could affect the warfighter and submarine mission.

Responsibilities:

• Support full-spectrum research, development, test, and engineering activities for future submarine combat systems and associated payloads.
• Provide an operational submarine perspective on proposed combat system requirements, missions, system capabilities, and Concepts of Operations (CONOPS).
• Translate fleet experience into actionable technical recommendations for engineers, program stakeholders, and future capability development teams.
• Develop and review white papers, system requirements, Concepts of Operations (CONOPS), training guides, and other technical documentation supporting Future Naval Capabilities (FNC).
• Participate in Operational Experimentation (OPEX), peer reviews, Cooperative Operational Experimentation (COOPEX), technical demonstrations, and other test or evaluation events.
• Work directly with fleet operators, Chief Engineers, Technical Project Managers, and Program Office liaisons to communicate project progress, operational considerations, and technical direction.
• Support evaluation of submarine missile systems, torpedo systems, combat control capabilities, and emerging submarine payloads.
• Train and mentor teammates, sharing operational and technical knowledge across the project team.

At Arcfield, we understand that flexibility matters. While this position requires onsite support at our Newport, RI location, we offer flexible work schedules that allow employees to balance personal commitments with professional responsibilities. Candidates must be local or willing to relocate.

• Hands-on experience with submarine missile systems, torpedo systems, weapons employment, combat control systems, and/or associated payloads.
• Operational experience supporting missions within the United States European Command (EUCOM) or United States Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) areas of responsibility is highly valued.
• Experience working in a collaborative engineering, development, test, or technical team environment.
