Job Description

Amentum’s (Formerly EG&G Technical Services) Requirements Development and Acquisition Support Team is looking for talented individuals who want to have a meaningful impact on the future of the U.S. Navy and the nation’s Submarine Force. Our Requirements Development & Acquisition Support Team directly supports senior decision makers, while working to help ensure the Navy’s two highest priority submarine programs – the COLUMBIA Class Ballistic Missile and the VIRGINIA Class Attack Submarines – have the capabilities needed to successfully execute challenging maritime operations during peacetime operations or during conflict.

We help the Navy staff define visionary requirements for future systems, sensors, weapons, and payloads.
