Electric Boat Corporation is seeking a highly motivated individual to serve as an Test Engineer in support of Navy programs in Groton and New London, CT. 

Tactical Software Engineering is responsible for applying innovative submarine computer software and technologies used onboard submarines for shipboard equipment operation and control. Our teams design, develop, integrate, and test EB‑proprietary products that support the United States Navy Nuclear Submarine Fleet. 

This Test engineering role works to ensure delivered software meets all functional, performance, and reliability requirements. Test engineers support verification, validation, integration, and readiness activities for tactical and support‑system software. The team ensures that all software changes are rigorously evaluated, documented, and tested before release to the fleet. 

Responsibilities include: 

• Developing and executing software build procedures
• Documenting software programming results and supporting test readiness reviews
• Collaborating with software developers, systems engineers, and other subject matter experts to evaluate changes and identify defects
• Supporting lab-based testing efforts and occasional onboard support for software installation and verification
• Ensuring traceability between requirements, test activities, and delivered software capabilities
• Contributing to continuous improvement of processes, tools, and procedures
