Principal MS&A Software Engineer – Sentinel ICBM Program
About The Position
BAE Systems is hiring a Principal MS&A Software Engineer to support the Sentinel ICBM Program, a national-defense modernization effort developing the next-generation LGM-35A Sentinel ICBM. The role contributes to the digital architecture used to support missile safety, accuracy, and mission readiness for the U.S. Air Force. The engineer will lead the creation and refinement of a high-fidelity six-degrees-of-freedom (6-DOF) simulation model to predict missile flight performance and validate vehicle design. The position is located at Hill AFB and is fully on-site because of the classified nature of the program. The role works with propulsion, guidance, and systems engineering teams and prepares technical briefings and reports for the USAF System Program Office.
