Job Description:
Job DescriptionABOUTThe most secretive of Navy vessels, a
submarine requires a select community of specially trained
professionals to operate its classified, highly advanced hardware.
The Sailors in the Submarine Electronics Computer Field (SECF) work
with a submarine's sonar, weapons, communications and navigation
systems. The training is rigorous and the career opportunities are
equally impressive.RESPONSIBILITIESWithin Submarine Electronics,
there are four distinct focus areas that have their own training
paths and job descriptions.Fire Control Technician (FT)FTs operate,
test and maintain submarine combat control systems. They
participate in weapons handling functions and operate and maintain
non-tactical computer systems and peripherals. They are responsible
for a huge array of weapons, which may include torpedoes,
Tomahawk-- cruise missiles and even nuclear ballistic missiles
capable of reaching anywhere in the world.Sonar Technician,
Submarine (STS)STSs specialize in underwater acoustic technologies.
They operate a submarine's sonar, oceanographic equipment, and
auxiliary sonar to conduct underwater surveillance, collect
scientific data and track enemy targets. They also perform
maintenance on the highly sensitive, highly classified sonar
hardware.Electronics Technician (ET/RF AND ET/NAV)ETs focus on
installing, administering and maintaining onboard communications
and navigations systems. ET/RFs work with and maintain submarine
radio communication equipment, systems and programs (including
submarine LAN systems). ET/NAVs specialize in submarine navigation
and radio equipment, systems and programs.There are also
electronics careers that require advanced nuclear training and
involve working with nuclear reactor control, propulsion and power
generation on Navy nuclear-powered submarines or aircraft carriers.
