About The Position
BAE Systems has recently been awarded new programs and is currently undergoing an exciting period of growth.

Our products are primarily Electronic Warfare systems that enable our warfighters to execute their missions safely. This part of the role, will enable you to engage in developing our EW solutions. There will be opportunities to use your existing skills and develop new ones as we work to extend your career path in alignment with your goals and the company needs.
