The SEIT (System Engineering Integration & Test) Hardware Engineering Lead provides technical leadership across Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering, connecting functional expertise with system integration, verification, and test execution across the Power Systems, Acoustics and Imaging Systems, and Integrated Systems and Encryption divisions.\nThis highly visible leadership role is ideal for a technical leader who enjoys solving complex integration challenges, shaping consistent engineering practices, and working directly with engineers, program teams, Chief Engineers, and senior leaders. You will improve how Maritime hardware is designed, integrated, verified, and sustained while helping teams deliver reliable products for demanding customer missions.\nThe SEIT Hardware Engineering Lead serves as the Maritime technical focal point for mechanical and electrical engineering design, integration, verification, and test. This role has no direct reports and achieves results through technical credibility, collaboration, influence, and disciplined engineering leadership across a matrixed organization. The role establishes practical, repeatable approaches that improve hardware engineering consistency across Maritime divisions while preserving the flexibility required by individual programs and product lines. The Lead identifies systemic technical risks, drives root-cause resolution, and strengthens upfront engineering rigor to reduce downstream rework, integration issues, and test delays. This position partners closely with Maritime SEIT, functional engineering leaders, Division Chief Engineers, Program Management, and program teams.\n\nEssential Functions:\nProvide technical leadership for mechanical and electrical engineering design, integration, verification, validation, and test across Maritime programs.\nDevelop and improve common hardware engineering processes, methods, standards, tools, and metrics that support consistent execution across Power Systems, Acoustics and Imaging Systems, and Integrated Systems and Encryption.\nPartner with Maritime SEIT and program teams to define and review hardware design strategies, technical baselines, and readiness criteria.\nEvaluate cross-program hardware engineering performance, identify systemic risks and capability gaps, and lead actions that improve quality, predictability, and first-time-right execution.\nApply broad mechanical and electrical engineering knowledge to resolve complex system-level issues involving interfaces, environmental requirements, reliability, producibility, manufacturability, testability, and lifecycle support.\nLead technical reviews and influence design decisions to ensure hardware solutions meet customer requirements, safety, mission assurance, schedule, and cost objectives.\nSupport proposal, capture, program startup, and execution-planning activities, including hardware engineering scope definition, technical risk assessment, staffing inputs, cost estimates, and basis-of-estimate development.\nCoach and mentor hardware engineering technical leaders and teams, sharing best practices and strengthening technical depth across the Maritime organization.\nCommunicate technical status, risks, trade studies, recommendations, and improvement opportunities clearly to engineering leadership, program leadership, customers, and other stakeholders.\nTechnical Leadership and Influence: Demonstrated ability to lead through technical expertise, influence decisions across organizational boundaries, and align experienced engineers around a common hardware engineering approach.\nSystems Thinking: Ability to connect mechanical and electrical engineering decisions to system performance, integration, verification, manufacturing, sustainment, and customer outcomes.\nEngineering Rigor: Proven commitment to disciplined requirements management, design reviews, interface control, verification planning, root-cause analysis, and risk management.\nContinuous Improvement: Experience identifying recurring engineering challenges and establishing practical processes, tools, standards, or metrics that improve execution across multiple teams or programs.\nCollaboration and Accountability: Ability to build trusted partnerships, communicate directly, surface issues early, and drive ownership through resolution without direct reporting authority.\nAbility to obtain and maintain required U.S. Government security clearances. Active Secret clearance preferred.\nTravel up to 25% to support programs and teams at Maritime locations.\n\nQualifications:\nBachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline and a minimum of 12 years of prior related experience; or a graduate degree and a minimum of 10 years of prior related experience; or, in lieu of a degree, a minimum of 16 years of prior related experience.\nComprehensive technical knowledge in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, hardware systems engineering, integration and test, or a closely related discipline.\nDemonstrated experience leading or significantly influencing cross-functional engineering efforts in a matrixed environment.\nExperience with hardware product development from requirements definition through design, integration, verification, qualification, production, and sustainment.\nExperience resolving complex technical issues involving mechanical, electrical, and system interfaces.\nExperience with engineering lifecycle processes, technical reviews, risk management, requirements traceability, verification planning, and configuration management.\nStrong verbal, written, interpersonal, and presentation skills for technical and executive audiences.\nPreferred Additional Skills:\nExperience spanning both mechanical and electrical engineering disciplines.\nExperience supporting mission-critical, safety-critical, defense, aerospace, maritime, secure communications, or other highly regulated products.\nExperience with environmental qualification, EMI/EMC, reliability, thermal analysis, structural analysis, power systems, embedded hardware, or hardware/software integration.\nExperience with digital engineering, model-based systems engineering, product lifecycle management, simulation, automated test, or engineering toolchain modernization.\nExperience supporting proposals, cost estimates, basis-of-estimate development, program startup, and technical planning.\nExperience developing engineering standards, common tools, technical governance, or process-improvement initiatives across multiple programs or business areas.\nIn compliance with pay transparency requirements, the salary range for this role in California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Washington, and the Greater D.C. area, Denver, or NYC areas is $153,000 - $284,000. The salary range for this role in Colorado state, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, New York state, Cleveland Ohio, Vermont and Virginia is $133,000 - $247,000.
