About The Position

BAE Systems is seeking an Engineering Process Architect to lead the model-based design, mapping, and modernization of engineering processes. The role will help build a future engineering operating system where compliance is inherent, workflows are digital and automated, and engineering knowledge is captured in durable, reusable models. The architect will apply MBSE expertise to model current-state processes, design future-state digital workflows, and align engineering work with the company’s standard WBS, applicable DoD frameworks, and regulatory requirements. The role supports modernization objectives including process simplification, WBS crosswalk development, and early AI-enabled pilots for process analysis. It involves collaboration across engineering, quality, program management, operations, and digital transformation teams. The position uses a hybrid work format, with time split between onsite and remote work.

Demonstrated experience modeling systems, processes, or architectures.
Experience supporting engineering processes, audits, or compliance frameworks.
Strong communication skills and ability to lead cross-functional transformation initiatives.

Nice To Haves

Advanced degree or MBSE-related certification.
Experience with digital engineering and workflow design.
Familiarity with AS9100, CMMI, and MIL-STD-881E.
Experience with AI/ML conceptual applications in engineering workflows.

Responsibilities

Build structured SysML/UML models of engineering processes, artifacts, data flows, and WBS relationships.
Develop modeling strategies that represent required controls, approvals, and interfaces.
Architect simplified, requirements-based engineering processes with clear cross-functional dependencies.
Support governance initiatives, including metrics, process interpretation, and improvement actions.
Develop model-based mappings between engineering processes and the company’s standard WBS.
Support AI-assisted pilots for process-content classification and workflow modernization.
Contribute to audit readiness, corrective action activities, and compliance governance.
Partner with engineering, quality, program management, and digital engineering teams to drive adoption.
