Quality Analyst Jobs in District of Columbia

Position Description & Qualifications

Are you looking for a rewarding role with a global company where you can be part of a vital team supporting our US Navy? Then Serco has the right opportunity for you!

As the Submarine Quality Assurance (QA) Requirements Analyst on Serco’s Team Submarine contract, you will provide programmatic support to the Undersea Certification Programs office (TEAMSUB-Q) located in the Washington Navy Yard, Washington, DC. and be expected to bring your expertise and collaborative skills to make an impact towards our military defense and safety of our Sailors. You will have influence every day in managing and supporting a critical need to maintain our submarine force operational and at-sea.

TEAMSUB-Q is responsible and accountable for the Submarine Safety (SUBSAFE), Fly-By-Wire Ship Control Systems (FBW SCS), and Deep Submergence Systems (DSS) Certification programs.

Serco supports the US Navy as a subcontractor for their Team Submarine contract in the maintenance, sustainment, and disposal of in-service submarines.

In this role, you will:

• Process Liaison Action Requests (LAR) and Manual Change Requests (MCR) for issues affecting and related to SUBSAFE and FBW requirements.
• Provide quality assurance and independent oversight for all of the SUBSAFE/FBW SCS/DSS certification-responsible activities across the globe.
• Evaluate and develop submarine maintenance procedures and standard operating procedures.
• Manage and coordinate required actions and efforts of a variety of activities.
• Attend and coordinate meetings, prepare presentations, report project status and work commitments.

To be successful in this role, you will have:

• An active or current Secret clearance.

• US Citizenship.
• A Bachelor’s degree in a technical or similar field.
• • A High School Diploma/GED and 4 years of additional experience, or an Associate’s degree and 2 years of additional experience will be considered in lieu of a bachelor's degree.
• 8 years of experience working with submarine QA requirements or similar/related experience.
• 8 years of experience with submarine construction, maintenance and certification processes or similar/related experience.
• Knowledge of the Navy organization and interrelationships with technical warrant holders and naval warfare centers.
• Intermediate proficiency in the Microsoft Office Suite of programs (Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
• Ability to work a Hybrid Schedule (3 days in the office and 2 days telework from home).
• Ability to travel 10% of the time.

Additional desired experience and skills:

• Experience as submarine Quality Assurance Officer (QAO) or Assistant QAO.
• Experience working with Naval Warfare Centers and technical warrant holders.
