About The Position
BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems is seeking a talented and motivated RF Systems Analyst to support development of RF payload solutions. The role supports RF payload system and box/board-level design and analysis, RF signal-chain performance analysis, and systems engineering work across program and research and development lifecycles. The engineer contributes to requirements development and allocation, margin management, payload performance analysis and verification, interface documentation, and technical reviews. The position involves collaboration with experts in calibration, optical, thermal, and focal plane subsystems, as well as AI&T engineers, and may include leading development, test, and evaluation of hardware, software, support equipment, and systems. The position is on-site five days each normally scheduled week at the primary work location. Travel and local commuting between company campuses and other locations may be required. Work may take place in an office, laboratory, production floor, cleanroom, outdoors, or a remote research environment. Occasional work in production areas requiring protective equipment and access to facilities in various weather conditions may be necessary. A minimum $25,000 sign-on bonus is being offered for external hires. The role may be eligible to participate in an incentive compensation plan, subject to business performance and management recommendations.
Requirements
