We are responsible for integrating government furnished equipment (GFE) and systems into the boat, as well as developing systems to support the strategic weapon. This highly effective team is also responsible for ensuring that the government furnished information and Coordinated requirements are successfully integrated into the submarine design. The team moves products from the concept phase, through requirement definition, design, build, test, integration and the full life cycle. STRATEGIC WEAPONS SYSTEMS ENGINEERING ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS SWS Engineering Electronic Systems team is responsible for the design, development, qualification, integration, and in fleet support of the electrical control system elements required to control the environment of the ballistic missile tubes on the COLUMBIA, DREADNOUGHT, and OHIO Class submarines. These elements include sensors, human machine interfaces, embedded systems (PLC architecture), controllers, and application software. STRATEGIC WEAPONS SYSTEMS ENGINEERING SIMULATION & TEST The Simulation and Test group has three primary focuses Development of custom simulators, which model the behavior of ship systems Development of custom test equipment, used in construction grooming Requirements verification of SWS components for both US and UK Submarine components Our simulators are developed to support requirements testing of both tactical and test equipment. A variety of languages are used including Simulink, LabVIEW, and Java to develop software which may be deployed on a range of hardware, from PLCs to embedded systems running Linux, Windows and real-time operating systems. The team also develops custom test equipment used for ship system qualification, and for the Strategic Weapons System Ashore (SWSA) facility monitoring and testing. Finally, the team focuses on requirements verification, which follows formal requirement-based test methods. Systems engineering best practices are employed to develop requirements and test procedures to support design certification of simulators and tactical systems. ### Responsibilities - Strong organizational/interpersonal verbal and written skills Self motivated with the ability to think objectively and drive technical solutions to successful conclusion Qualifications Required: High School Diploma or equivalent - 2+ years experience managing contractor or vendor interfaces - Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance through the Department of Defense Preferred: Experience in military (submarine) system development, operations, installation and/or test and evaluation Understanding and experience with applying the principles of System Engineering SWS/SWSS experience Secret Clearance Experience presenting technical/programmatic content to stakeholders PI288008213 ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Oct 28, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Nov 2, 2026 - Last checked: Nov 9, 2026 - Listed for: 12 days - Location: Groton, CT, US - Employment type: Full-time[Apply on General Dynamics’s careers site →](https://www.gd.com/careers/test-engineer-comm-systems-groton-ct-us-2026-18256-eb-opportunity) ## Hiring at General Dynamics - Open jobs: 3,216 - New in the last 7 days: After two weekly collections - Tracked since: Jul 13, 2026 [All General Dynamics jobs](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/general-dynamics/) · [Weekly hiring report](/reports/hiring/) ## More jobs at General Dynamics ### [Business Analyst](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/general-dynamics/jobs/d3567a1a22708fbe3bd0/) Groton, CT, US ### [COLUMBIA Class Construction Support Engineer- Experienced 2nd Shift](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/general-dynamics/jobs/de24f07e4a0bce26dd89/) Groton, CT, US ### [COLUMBIA Project Engineering Supervisor | General Dynamics](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/general-dynamics/jobs/25f54c8770a501a27cb0/) Groton, CT, US ### [Cloud Integration Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/general-dynamics/jobs/c3070e4a6b39d193c0e9/) Groton, CT, US ### [Columbia Construction Engineering Module Lead | General Dynamics](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/general-dynamics/jobs/502debf511e841bb7d51/) Groton, CT, US ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Systems Engineer (Combat Systems Integration & Test) - Early Career](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/lockheed-martin/jobs/57c8d105d8e378d689bf/) Lockheed Martin · Moorestown, NJ ### [Sonar Systems Test Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/lockheed-martin/jobs/4e17ad8ba3a889d090f4/) Lockheed Martin · Manassas, VA ### [Engineer Systems Test](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/bae-systems/jobs/57794dce1621ed2020a4/) BAE Systems · Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States ### [Systems Engineer - Integration & Test](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/northrop-grumman/jobs/d21aaa9f955cef8858eb/) Northrop Grumman · United States-Illinois-Rolling Meadows ### [Senior Systems Engineer-Test](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/bae-systems/jobs/b75f94ad0166eff693e3/) BAE Systems · Nashua, New Hampshire, United States [Jobs in Groton, CT](/locations/us/ct/groton/)[Jobs in Connecticut](/locations/us-ct/)[Operations jobs](/functions/operations/) OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
