## Description

Systems Engineer
The Opportunity:

Are you looking for an opportunity to combine your technical skills with big picture thinking to make an impact in supporting the U.S. Navy? You understand your customer's environment and how to develop the right systems for their mission. Your ability to translate real-world needs into technical specifications makes you an integral part of delivering a customer-focused engineering solution.

As a systems engineer on our team, you'll serve as the primary liaison between naval warfare, Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence ( C4I ) , and submarine forces.
