For engineers that aspire to become Engineering Supervisors or Engineering Managers, a 1-3 year assignment in EB’s Program Offices provides exposure to how Electric Boat works as a system, with all functional areas serving as both suppliers and customers to each other as we design, build and deliver submarines.  This role will provide exposure and face-time with EB, NNS and Navy senior leaders and valuable first-hand financial analysis experience.  This role will also provide direct engagement with ship construction activity in Quonset Point and Groton.

The Navy needs our submarines more than ever.  We have a large backlog of 16 submarines in various stages of construction and over the next year, contracts for the next blocks of COLUMBIA and VIRGINIA Class submarines will awarded.

As we look to increase our volume to one COLUMBIA and two VIRGINIA Class submarines delivered annually, there is both opportunity and need for us to improve our alignment and integration of work planning and execution.

This Program Integration directorate will lead the functional areas and COLUMBIA and VIRGINIA Program Office teams’ integration on key business objectives including cost and schedule performance, including shaping our future facilities and capture of the next class of submarines.

• Ensure metrics and oversight across the programs are common to the maximum extent practical and based on best practices.
