About The Position

BAE Systems, Precision Guidance and Sensing Solutions (PGSS) Product Line within the Precision Strike (PS) Business Area is seeking a Senior Systems Engineering Team Lead who possesses a skilled Electro-Optical Infrared (EOIR) background to support our SureStrike™ EOIR development programs, a portfolio of Semi-Active Laser (SAL), Imaging Infrared (IIR), and multi-modal seeker solutions. As a secondary objective, the successful candidate will also provide support to THAAD EOIR Seeker redesign activities. The successful candidate will plan, execute and manage a geographically distributed team during the implementation of system processes, conduct of System and Subsystem internal and field test events, development of test and tactical hardware and software, and identification/allocation of new requirements to both affordable mass missile seekers (SureStrike™) and strategic seekers (THAAD). This role will be staffed in Huntsville, AL. In Huntsville, our Engineering team is working in a recently opened state-of-the-art facility and operating in a unique environment where we have the power and resources of BAE Systems behind us while working in a dynamic and flexible model. At BAE Systems, we are looking for team players who have demonstrated experience working successfully in a Technical Team Lead setting. Because this role involves a combination of collaborative/in-person and independent work, it will take the form of a hybrid work format, with time split between working primarily onsite with some remote potential. Travel is estimated at 10%, namely to support SureStrike™ program test event milestones and collaboration with New Hampshire-based THAAD Seeker teams.
