The Concept Formulation (CONFORM) team leads EB’s concept development work, including research and development (R&D) efforts, payload integration, capability insertion studies, warfare analysis, and the SSN(X) program.
We are seeking a technically strong, analytically driven engineer who wants to join our R&D team. This role blends engineering understanding with program coordination, budget management, and long-term strategic thinking. Initial responsibilities will focus on learning EB’s R&D ecosystem and supporting portfolio tracking; with growth, this role will transition into owning portions of the internal and external R&D portfolio.
Key Responsibilities:
- Support portfolio management of independent R&D (IR&D), university research collaborations, National Institute for Undersea Vehicle Technology (NIUVT), small business innovation research (SBIR), and/or other initiatives
- Build, maintain, and align R&D portfolios, spend plans, budgets, roadmaps, and technical progress tracking
- Coordinate with engineering departments to integrate technical advancements
- Facilitate cross-functional technical meetings; ensure deliverables, risks, cost, and schedule are fully visible and understood
- Prepare clear internal documentation, presentations, and portfolio summaries for leadership
- Identify opportunities for capability insertion and future platform integration
- Grow toward independently managing projects and representing R&D strategy within CONFORM
- Minimal local travel expected
