Engineer - Embedded Software

There's never been a better time to join the shipbuilding industry. As demand for cutting-edge naval technology grows, General Dynamics Electric Boat is at the forefront-designing, building, and maintaining the most advanced submarines in the world. Our work is mission-critical, supporting the U.S. Navy and strengthening national security.

About Department 422 - Integrated Logistics Support

Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) plans and directs the identification and development of logistics support and system requirements with the goal of creating systems that last longer and require less support, reducing life cycle cost and supporting systems that are operable, supportable, safe and environmentally sound. The D422 Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) organization supports all non-nuclear Electric Boat submarine programs. The six (6) discipline groups that comprise this department include: Software Safety, System Safety, Reliability Availability and Maintainability (RAM), Stowage, Obsolescence and Ship Specifications.

Department 422 Environment, Safety and Occupational Health (ESOH) engineering group ensures that potential hazards are identified during technology development, design, construction and maintenance activities, and verifies the mitigation of the risk for the potential safety hazards. The ESOH group proactively identifies risks to people, equipment, and the environment inherent in design, operation, and construction, and determines sufficient means to mitigate the risks.

Role Overview

The system safety engineer will perform technical ESOH analyses on submarine ship systems, control systems, components, materials, drawings, software, specifications and other design disclosures in accordance with MIL-STD-882E and other requirements, and develop analysis reports that identify and document safety hazards and environmental impacts. The role of this position is to perform software safety engineering on both new and modified submarine electronic, electromechanical and electrohydraulic systems. Tasks include conducting and documenting safety analysis of software controlled system design; system requirements, software requirements, code analysis, test plans, test procedures, and test results. Position requires the engineer to work independently and take initiative to learn submarine systems and associated software safety concerns as well as to work effectively in a team environment with system hardware and software developers.
