Field Engineer (Junior)

Responsibilities

• Provide engineering support for GARC systems to sustain fleet readiness, availability, and mission performance.
• Support system integration, validation, and technical evaluations during harbor, shoreline, and on-water operations.
• Assist in identifying system anomalies, isolating root causes, and supporting corrective actions under engineering supervision.
• Implement and verify approved Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs), upgrades, and configuration changes while maintaining configuration control.
• Deploy globally (up to 75%) to support fleet operations, exercises, technical assistance engagements, and fielding events.
• Document technical observations, system behavior, and test results, coordinating findings with engineering, logistics, and operations teams.
• Assist with on-water launch, recovery, and mission-execution operations in dynamic maritime conditions.
• Maintain accurate records of system configurations, updates, components, and field modifications.
