Job Description BAE Systems is seeking a Systems, Aerospace, or Electrical Engineer to join the Electrical Systems Coordination team to support our work as a prime contractor on a high-profile U.S. Navy weapon system. A high attention to detail, integrity, systems engineering fundamentals, and the ability to work well independently and with others are important traits we expect the successful candidate to possess and demonstrate.
This position is responsible for managing electrical change requests from government contractors in support of our Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) customer. This includes supporting the change requests from inception, to facilitating contractor resolution, and to full implementation into SSP documentation artifacts. The Electrical Coordination Team ensures that interface requirements between different subsystems are correctly captured in SSP controlled artifacts so that during construction both subsystems can interface seamlessly with the other. This position will support the Strategic Weapon System (SWS) community and working groups to help with the technical resolution of changes. The position will be responsible for understanding all SWS interface connections, and being able to identify impacts to interfaces based on the constantly evolving updates within the TRIDENT II submarine programs. A limited amount of travel to off-site locations could be required.
About BAE Systems and the U.S. Navy’s Strategic Systems Programs (SSP)
Our organization has supported the U.S. Navy’s Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) continually since the program’s inception in the 1950s. SSP developed the first sea-based, underwater-launched Strategic Weapon System (SWS), a defense system that is truly critical to our national security. For more than six decades, SSP has maintained and upgraded this weapon system and we have been there every step of the way. The sea-based SWS is the ultimate stealthy weapon system and is the first leg of the U.S. nuclear triad. With over 70 of our nation’s nuclear arsenal its importance to maintaining world peace cannot be overstated. The development of Columbia, the most advanced nuclear-powered, nuclear-armed submarine ever designed, as well the next D5LE2 weapon system is under way and will begin to be rolled out over the next decade. The Navy projects this system to be operational through 2084, meaning the program will have a total life span of more than 120 years. This is a unique program and BAE Systems employees on this program understand they are part of an important legacy.
As a decades long sole source partner on multiple contracts on behalf of our customer, our program has remarkable stability and is concurrently experiencing significant growth. Combined, these factors provide ample opportunity for professional growth and development for capable and talented individuals on our team.
