The Missile Compartment Project Engineering Team is seeking highly motivated engineers to serve as Module Leads for SSBN 826 construction. This role is a unique opportunity for an individual contributor to operate as the primary engineering interface to the construction team for a major module on a first‑in‑class submarine. Module Leads are trusted technical leaders who integrate engineering, operations, planning, and test organizations to ensure construction success.
Module Leads serve as the engineering liaison to the trades for their assigned module. They identify liabilities, drive timely resolution, coordinate support across engineering disciplines, and advocate for minimal impact to construction schedules. They provide clear, concise technical communication during shipyard meetings, ensuring accurate status, clear priorities, and actionable guidance for the deckplates. Module Leads rapidly develop a deep understanding of shipyard procedures, enabling them to guide trades and engineering through complex construction challenges.
In this role, engineers coordinate multidisciplinary teams, assess risk, and define the engineering path forward for current, emerging, and future issues related to module construction and major evolutions. This is a highly visible, impactful position that directly supports the ship’s progression through final assembly, outfitting, test, and delivery.
- Providing engineering oversight for emergent shipyard issues and communicating technical assessments directly with shipyard leadership and trade management.
- Supporting trades daily by helping them interpret disclosures, navigate work packages, and understand the build sequence to ensure efficient and accurate execution.
- Ensuring drawing revisions, CR/CN actions, and other changes supporting construction are properly prioritized and progressing through both construction support and cognizant engineering teams.
- Attending and contributing to key production meetings—daily startup, plan‑of‑the‑day, shift turnover—by reporting holdups, defining required actions, and driving resolution of work package, material, and engineering direction issues.
- Operating in a project‑focused capacity to communicate technical risk, align engineering resources, and facilitate seamless integration between Engineering and the shipyard.
- Conducting multidisciplinary engineering evaluations to support manufacturing, outfitting, and construction needs across the module.
- Supporting testing, certification activities, and government inspection events by preparing engineering responses and coordinating required technical support.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor of Science in Engineering .
- Ability to obtain DOD Secret security clearance.
- 5+ years of post graduate engineering experience
- Knowledge of Teamcenter and Columbia Class design.
- CR/CN experience and familiarity with change management processes.
- Knowledge of the shipyard organizational structure and processes.

Tips for Your Module Lead Job Search
Tailor your resume to ownership signals
Module lead postings prioritize evidence that you owned a deliverable end-to-end, not just contributed to one. Rewrite your bullet points to show scope, the team size you coordinated, and the outcome you shipped, not just the technologies you used.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists module lead openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Highlight cross-functional coordination experience
Many module lead roles sit between engineering and product, requiring you to sync with QA, architects, and stakeholders. Explicitly name the functions you coordinated with and what decisions you drove, since reviewers scan for this before scheduling a call.
Prepare a module-level design walkthrough
Interviewers frequently ask you to walk through a module you designed from requirements to release. Prepare a concise story covering the constraints you faced, the tradeoffs you made, and what you would change, keeping it under ten minutes without prompting.
Filter postings by tech stack, not just title
Module lead roles in embedded C differ sharply from those in cloud-native microservices. Search by the stack you know alongside the title so you surface postings where your domain expertise is a direct match, not a stretch.
Negotiate scope alongside compensation
When you receive an offer, ask which modules you would own from day one and which are inherited from an outgoing lead. Clarity on inherited technical debt before you accept shapes your ramp time and credibility in the first ninety days.
Module Lead Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most module leads?
The companies hiring the most module leads right now include General Dynamics Electric Boat, MAHLE, and University of Missouri, with the largest share of openings in Connecticut, Missouri, and New York, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is strongest in defense, embedded systems, and enterprise software product companies.
How many module lead jobs are remote?
About 0% of module lead openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, though availability varies by domain. Cloud-native and SaaS product roles carry a higher remote share, while embedded, firmware, and hardware-adjacent module lead positions more often require on-site or hybrid presence due to lab and hardware access requirements.
How do you become a module lead?
Start by consistently owning a discrete component or service within your current team rather than contributing to shared work. Volunteer to run design reviews, write the module-level architecture doc, and present it to stakeholders. Build a record of shipping that component reliably, then make the case for a formal lead title once your scope matches the responsibilities already on your plate.
Can you get a module lead job with limited experience?
Yes, if you can demonstrate ownership of something small but complete. A side project with clear architectural decisions, an open-source module you maintain, or a well-documented internal tool you built solo can substitute for formal lead experience. Focus your application on what you owned and shipped, and target smaller engineering teams where the lead role is newly created rather than a vacancy left by a senior hire.
What does the module lead interview process look like?
Most processes run in three to four stages. A recruiter screen is followed by a technical phone interview covering system design at the module level. The on-site or virtual loop typically includes a design walkthrough, a coding or debugging exercise relevant to the stack, and a behavioral round focused on how you handled conflicting requirements or a production incident as the person accountable for a module.
Where can I find and apply to module lead jobs?
You can find and apply to module lead jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from companies across the United States. Search for roles that match your domain and experience level, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
