About The Position
BAE Systems is hiring an on-site Systems Engineer to support its work as a prime contractor on the U.S. Navy’s Portfolio Acquisition Executive Strategic Systems Programs Sea-Launched Cruise Missile-Nuclear (SLCM-N) Program. The engineer provides authoritative systems engineering and integration expertise across the SLCM-N portfolio and supports the chief engineer customer as an embedded technical representative to technical branches. The role helps integrate complex strategic weapon system elements into a coherent system architecture that meets requirements and preserves SSP mission design principles. It involves daily interaction with government, BAE Systems, and prime contractor personnel. The engineer supports development of instructions and guidance for systems engineering management functions and helps plan and execute Systems Engineering Technical Review (SETR) milestone events. The role facilitates acquisition milestones, ensures compliance with entry and exit criteria, and provides analysis to reduce system-level technical risk. The position reports to the Systems Engineering Supervisor for SLCM-N Technical Planning and Execution and works on-site with subsystem technical branch representatives, providing technical guidance and system perspective to multidisciplinary teams, including Requirements, Architecture, Verification, Integration, Test, Safety, and Cybersecurity. BAE Systems supports the Navy’s SSP in pre-development activities for the SLCM-N Program. The program is developing a modular, survivable cruise missile system intended for some submarines and surface ships.
