CLEARED O&M Shipboard Tech Specialist (Entry-Level) | 6-Month Maritime Deployments

Amentum • Concord, NH • 15h ago

Want a real tech career without getting trapped behind a desk? We're building a talent pipeline of O&M Shipboard Techs to run and fix advanced, classified Navy submarine-tracking systems (SURTASS). If you're a hands-on problem solver who loves tearing down gear and wants to see the world, this is it. Do you learn fast, roll with changing environments, and want to do work that actually matters? Zero maritime experience? No problem. We handle all the training.

The Reality of the Lifestyle

Let's be clear: this isn't your typical 9-to-5. You'll live and work onboard a ship supporting a rotation schedule of 6-month stretches at sea then 3-months off .

The upsides: Your room and board are totally covered while deployed. That means serious cash-saving potential while hitting ports few people ever visit.

The trade-offs: Ship life means tight quarters, heavy seas, and relying on a close crew. You've got to be up for the challenge.

What Your Days Will Actually Look Like

You'll help launch and recover surveillance arrays, tackling mechanical, electrical, or hydraulic gremlins as they pop up.

You'll monitor live data streams in the Operations Center, ensuring critical national security info moves without a hitch.

You'll track parts, log fixes into the WILD system, and keep inventory tight.

This role fast-tracks you into high-paying defense sectors like maritime networks (C4I), electronics maintenance (EM), or cybersecurity (KMI).

Prior hands-on general maintenance, marine systems, or working at sea experience.
