Jobs at BAE Systems, Inc.

Lead the Space Vehicle Engineering team in developing, testing, and delivering space systems, ensuring technical performance and managing system engineering activities.

Lead mission architecture and systems engineering for OPIR space-based infrared sensor systems. Perform trade studies, define CONOPS and architectures, support capture and IRAD concepts, mentor teams, and integrate OPIR data into operational workflows and products. Engage with customers and deliver technical analyses and presentations.

Assemble, fabricate, test, and troubleshoot PWA and box-level flight/EDU hardware per aerospace standards. Execute environmental and electrical tests (vibration, thermal, TVAC), perform cable and connector continuity testing, operate test equipment and software, document results, and follow safety/ESD and FOD procedures while supporting production and post-delivery activities.

Assemble and rework non-flight electronic hardware and cable assemblies using drawings and build documents. Perform soldering, crimping, continuity and Cirris testing, troubleshoot hardware issues, record test data, and follow manufacturability and quality procedures. Work onsite full-time, collaborate across teams, learn company software/tools, and provide overtime and technical support as needed.

Lead and coordinate SEIT activities with ~70% program management and 30% technical work. Manage change control, risks, deliverables, and program reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, PSR). Prepare technical writing and presentations, liaise with customers and partners, and ensure scheduling, risk management, and earned value management practices for space-based missions (satellites and ground systems).

Lead mission architecture, system trades, and CONOPS development for space-based OPIR systems. Drive architecture trade studies, MBSE, capture support, customer engagement, team leadership, and integration of OPIR data into operational workflows. Support new technology concepts, modeling/simulation, and delivery of technical analyses and presentations.

Convert algorithm description documents into C++ implementations for radar systems; develop, test, and optimize simulation and data-processing toolchains; integrate experimental data; perform code reviews and collaborate with cross-functional teams; ensure scalability, reliability, and adherence to coding and security practices; work on-site and support programs throughout the software lifecycle.

Assemble and fabricate non-flight electronic hardware and cable assemblies using schematics and build drawings. Perform soldering, crimping, wire stripping, DMM continuity and Cirris tests, troubleshoot hardware issues, record test data, follow cleanroom/ESD procedures, learn company software, and provide on-site technical support.

Lead and perform radiation analysis and engineering for EEE parts and circuits on spacecraft. Conduct TID, SEE, DDD, and ELDRS analyses and test campaigns; review schematics and part lists for radiation compliance; develop test plans; coordinate with design and program teams; generate radiation analysis reports and document reviews. Interface with subcontractors and present radiation risks at program milestones.

Manage laboratory workflow and scheduling, maintain inventory, procure materials, and collaborate with customers and suppliers in a lab environment.

Develop, test, and maintain embedded software for satellite, airborne, and ground systems across the full software lifecycle. Work on requirements, architecture, design, coding, integration, testing, documentation, and support. Collaborate across teams and operate in on-site lab/production environments using embedded Linux, C/C++, Rust, Python, FPGA interfaces, messaging protocols, and distribution tools like Yocto/PetaLinux.

Perform board- and box-level electrical test and troubleshooting for electronic assemblies, design test fixtures and procedures, document results, and develop basic test automation scripts (Python/Ruby). Support qualification, verification, milestone reviews (PDR/CDR), and collaborate with technicians and cross-functional teams to meet schedules and resolve issues.

Develop, test, and maintain embedded software for satellite, airborne, or ground systems across the full software lifecycle. Produce architecture, design, code, integration, and documentation; work with embedded Linux, device trees, FPGAs, messaging systems, and CI/CD/test infrastructure. Collaborate across teams and support program requirements and testing.

Lead mission systems analysis and modeling to characterize performance of complex space/air/ground architectures. Develop tools and algorithms, produce analysis reports and presentations, support proposals, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to set system and component requirements.

Lead and participate in the Mission Assurance team, ensuring successful program implementation through risk management, technical discussions, and effective communication with stakeholders.

Design, implement, and maintain software test capabilities for tactical systems. Perform full software lifecycle tasks—requirements, architecture, design, code, test, integration, documentation—and integrate test equipment and emulation infrastructure. Develop automated tests for embedded Linux, C/C++, Python and support containerized deployments. Collaborate across teams, maintain on-site presence, and support lab and production environments for mission-focused systems.

Design, implement, test, and support embedded satellite command-and-control, mission planning, and data analysis software. Perform full software lifecycle activities (requirements, architecture, design, coding, testing, integration, documentation) and collaborate across teams to maintain CI/CD, containerization, and software configuration practices.

Design, implement, test, and maintain embedded satellite command-and-control, mission planning, and data analysis software. Perform full software lifecycle tasks (requirements, architecture, design, coding, testing, integration, documentation) and collaborate across teams; maintain on-site schedule and support program needs.

Lead the development of RF payload systems, manage suppliers, and utilize advanced technologies to create state-of-the-art digital RF solutions.

Develop and maintain MBSE models, manage requirements and architecture, ensure consistency, and lead technical teams in mission program execution.
