Electrical Engineer Senior II - Sonobuoy Production Support

Protecting What Matters. Powering the Future of Naval Technology. Your work here has global impact. From developing sonar and radar systems to advancing unmanned and undersea platforms, our technologies empower the U.S. Navy and allied forces to operate in some of the world’s most complex environments. As the maritime and underwater battlespace evolves, we continue to push boundaries—driven by innovation, accountability, and a shared commitment to excellence.

Join us as we shape the future of naval warfare—safeguarding the seas and strengthening navies worldwide.

Nationality Requirements Due to the nature of the programs we support, certain roles may require candidates to meet U.S. nationality requirements and be eligible to obtain a security clearance.

Ultra Maritime’s Electrical Engineering team supports development and production of cutting‑edge Anti‑Submarine Warfare (ASW) technology such as state‑of‑the‑art sonobuoy products and advanced ASW receiver systems, including sonobuoy receivers, RF front‑end modules, and digital signal processing electronics for the U.S. Navy and other navies around the world. You’ll be reporting to the manager of Electrical Engineering focusing on supporting sonobuoy production engineering needs working within an integrated product support team as well as supporting design engineering as needed.
