About The Position

BAE Systems is looking for a Platform or Infrastructure Systems Engineer (Senior) experienced in configuring, deploying, and maintaining infrastructure tools and COTS applications as Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Applications as Code (AaC) to join our visible technical program driving the Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) cloud platform. This platform supports the collection, management, and analysis of digital engineering information in an architecture that provides a seamless digital thread and enables tool interoperability, including data structures suitable for AI applications. The program delivers engineering services for Linux and Windows cloud-based infrastructure, as well as sophisticated enterprise computing infrastructure including end-point devices, Cloud services, virtualized applications, and storage systems. Enterprise Computing Engineering services include modern application technology, including containerized solutions with orchestrated workflows. Our platform uses a mix of Open Source, Government-off-the-Shelf (GOTS), and Commercial off-the-Shelf (COTS) software and targets cloud-native constructs. The environment offers a secure-by-default configuration, implementing an Infrastructure-as-Code approach, and governance policies. We follow a mostly Agile workflow and adhere to DevSecOps principles, valuing fast iteration and a customer-oriented approach while being mindful of security. This is a fast-paced, challenging, and career-rewarding experience to recruit and develop top talent and solutions on one of the most complex and high-profile programs within the government customer community.
