Systems Engineer II – Mission Performance
About The Position
Join the Mission Engineering team at BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems. We don't just build components; we design the architectures that enable the most critical missions in the space, air, and ground domains. You won't be stuck in a silo—you will be integrated into a team of elite analysts, working on high-stakes projects that define the future of national security. This is a role for the curious, the ambitious, and the technically minded. We provide the mentorship and the tools; you provide the drive to learn and the desire to innovate. You will start by learning the ropes of our custom-built simulation tool-suite, but you will quickly move toward owning your own analysis and contributing to the design of next-generation systems. The Engineering, Science and Analysis (ESA) Strategic Capabilities Unit comprises the technical talent and organizational leadership that enables the successful delivery of high-impact discriminating technologies for our customers’ missions. Our collaborative, cross-functional teams are committed to innovation, integrity, continual learning and strong execution.
