If you want to help our business design, build and maintain submarines and the facilities used to build them, making submariners' lives better as they work under the ocean for months, then this is the perfect role for you. You will focus on the interplay between people, technology, and design, centering people in the submarine and facility design process.
As a Human Factors Undergraduate, you will engage with experienced submariners and operators to understand their challenges. You will work with specialist teams across our submarine programs, applying unique problem-solving skills pragmatically to overcome diverse and complex problems.
You will also have the opportunity to get involved in many stages of the submarine lifecycle, from concept design to activities with the in-service fleet, supporting the design of site facilities and the equipment used to build and launch submarines.
