In this role, you'll manage a multidisciplinary engineering team, drive technical strategy, and help advance how the U.S. Navy evaluates and acquires future maritime capabilities. Candidates with systems engineering leadership experience from aerospace, energy, industrial automation, automotive, manufacturing, or other complex engineering domains are encouraged to apply.Success in this role will come from leading a high-performing engineering team while providing technical guidance in systems engineering and digital engineering initiatives. As Engineering Manager of the Power System Optimization branch in our Digital Engineering directorate, you’ll lead engineers who build digital tools to optimize power and energy systems for the next generation Navy and report to the Digital Engineering Director. The role is onsite in Columbia, SC. You’ll supervise the team and serve as principal investigator on a program that needs systems engineering (SE) subject matter expertise.What you'll doLead the branchTake over a successful team, develop its engineers, and keep it resourced across the program lifecycle.Set the SE standard. Write the policies, workflows, and guidance that research teams use to scale with consistency, traceability, and technical rigor.Speed up design decisions. Run research that produces SE tools and automation for the Navy design and acquisition community, aimed at informing design decisions through trade studies and requirements change analysis.Open up the design space. Deliver model-based decision support that lets design teams test power system options against operational mission performance.Move SE forward for naval ship design and acquisition. Prototype methods (e.g., model-based requirements management, digital thread integration, trade space analysis) that improve decisions from concept development through contract award.Lead the Team Manage and mentor a cross-functional engineering team, with regular 1-on-1s, formal reviews, and honest feedback.Work with the Digital Engineering Director on strategic plans, technical baselines, cost and schedule, and metrics.Collaborate with project leads, academic partners, government sponsors, and program managers to resolve issues quickly.Drive the Technical Work Direct research and development from use case analysis and requirements allocation through trade studies, architecture, integration, and verification and validation.Lead development of digital engineering, Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), and decision-support capabilities and workflows for complex defense systems.Guide research and engineering activities spanning requirements, architecture, trade studies, integration, verification, and digital engineering initiatives.Define data exchange and interoperability standards for digital twins of shipboard power systems and shape test and evaluation strategy, including planning, evaluation criteria, and data collection.Unite electrical, digital twin, and software engineers into one coordinated effort, and keep partner organizations aligned through clear communication.Grow the Mission Support business development with customer meetings, concept development, RFI responses, white papers, and program planning.Support capture activities by writing technical proposals and building program plans including cost estimates.Required QualificationsWe recognize that no candidate is likely to meet every qualification listed above.
