Software Engineer- Test Automation Systems

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.

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. Due to the nature of work performed and access to export-controlled information, U.S. Citizenship is required.

You will help build and maintain the software infrastructure that validates and automates the testing of sonobuoys and related mission‑critical systems. Your work ensures that every system deployed performs reliably in real‑world operational conditions where failure is not an option. Your work ensures that systems behave exactly as expected before they are ever deployed into the field.
