Job Description Job Description BAE Systems has an immediate need for a highly qualified On-site Systems Engineer to support our work as a prime contractor on the US Navy's Portfolio Acquisition Executive (PAE) Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) Sea-Launched Cruise Missile-Nuclear (SLCM-N) Program. The candidate will have extensive knowledge and understanding of Systems Engineering for complex system of systems to successfully deliver major programs in alignment with the DoD 5000 Acquisition framework. The On-Site Systems Engineer provides authoritative systems engineering and integration expertise across the SLCM-N portfolio. The role supports the chief engineer customer as an embedded technical representative with technical branches, ensuring successful integration of complex strategic weapon system elements. This role ensures subsystem elements are synthesized into a coherent system architecture that meets requirements and preserves SSP mission design principles. The engineer will interface daily with government, BAE Systems, and prime contractor personnel. The On-site Systems Engineer will assist in the development of instructions and guidance to execute systems engineering management functions to support Systems Engineering Technical Review (SETR) milestone event planning and execution. This role involves facilitating critical acquisition milestones, ensuring compliance with exit/entry criteria, and providing expert analysis to minimize technical risk at the system level. The On-site Systems Engineer will report to the Systems Engineering Supervisor for SLCM-N Technical Planning and Execution and will be onsite with the subsystem technical branch representatives. This role will provide expert technical guidance and system perspective to multidisciplinary teams (Requirements, Architecture, Verification, Integration, Test, Safety, Cybersecurity, etc.) to ensure seamless integration and interoperability of strategic deterrence components and subsystems. Key responsibilities of the On-site Systems Engineer include, but are not limited to: Technical Oversight and Integration: Advising and overseeing technical branches and prime contractors on systems engineering activities across the full acquisition lifecycle, from concept and requirements definition through design, development, testing, deployment, and sustainment for DoD/DoW programs. Support and coordinate technical reviews, leveraging training and experience to provide informed analysis and recommendations. Collaborate with engineering, logistics, testing, and contracting teams to ensure a comprehensive technical analysis and evaluation is performed. Utilize various digital engineering tools to evaluate and integrate sub-system content with system-level requirements and architecture (functional and physical). Support the development and maintenance of program documentation, technical assessments (e.g., SRRs, PDRs, Milestone A, and other reviews), and decision memos. Participate in subsystem SETR events to identify system impacts and facilitate working groups to resolve technical issues. Risk Management: Collaborate with subsystem prime contractors to identify, track, and resolve system-level risks, issues, and opportunities. Perform technical risk assessments, identify potential risks (and opportunities), and establish comprehensive mitigation strategies for critical systems. Coordinate with cross-functional teams to implement mitigation strategies for identified risks. Documentation: Manage program documentation, ensuring white papers, status briefings, and technical assessments remain accurate and accessible. Support the configuration management and change management of program artifacts and documentation through change control boards (CCB) and engineering change processes (ECP). About the program Our organization has supported the U.S. Navy's PAE Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) continually since the program's inception in the 1950s. SSP developed the first sea-based, underwater-launched Strategic Weapon System (SWS), a defense system that is truly critical to our national security. For more than six decades, SSP has maintained and upgraded this weapon system, and we have been there every step of the way. The sea-based SWS is the ultimate stealthy weapon system and is the first leg of the U.S. nuclear triad. With over 70% of our nation's nuclear arsenal under its control, its importance in maintaining world peace cannot be overstated. The development of Columbia, the most advanced nuclear-powered, nuclear-armed submarine ever designed, as well the next D5LE2 weapon system is under way and will begin to be rolled out over the next decade. The Navy projects this system to be operational through 2084, meaning the program will have a total life span of more than 120 years.

Job Description Job Description BAE Systems has an immediate need for a highly qualified On-site Systems Engineer to support our work as a prime contractor on the US Navy's Portfolio Acquisition Executive (PAE) Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) Sea-Launched Cruise Missile-Nuclear (SLCM-N) Program. The candidate will have extensive knowledge and understanding of Systems Engineering for complex system of systems to successfully deliver major programs in alignment with the DoD 5000 Acquisition framework. The On-Site Systems Engineer provides authoritative systems engineering and integration expertise across the SLCM-N portfolio. The role supports the chief engineer customer as an embedded technical representative with technical branches, ensuring successful integration of complex strategic weapon system elements. This role ensures subsystem elements are synthesized into a coherent system architecture that meets requirements and preserves SSP mission design principles. The engineer will interface daily with government, BAE Systems, and prime contractor personnel. The On-site Systems Engineer will assist in the development of instructions and guidance to execute systems engineering management functions to support Systems Engineering Technical Review (SETR) milestone event planning and execution. This role involves facilitating critical acquisition milestones, ensuring compliance with exit/entry criteria, and providing expert analysis to minimize technical risk at the system level. The On-site Systems Engineer will report to the Systems Engineering Supervisor for SLCM-N Technical Planning and Execution and will be onsite with the subsystem technical branch representatives. This role will provide expert technical guidance and system perspective to multidisciplinary teams (Requirements, Architecture, Verification, Integration, Test, Safety, Cybersecurity, etc.) to ensure seamless integration and interoperability of strategic deterrence components and subsystems. Key responsibilities of the On-site Systems Engineer include, but are not limited to: Technical Oversight and Integration: Advising and overseeing technical branches and prime contractors on systems engineering activities across the full acquisition lifecycle, from concept and requirements definition through design, development, testing, deployment, and sustainment for DoD/DoW programs. Support and coordinate technical reviews, leveraging training and experience to provide informed analysis and recommendations. Collaborate with engineering, logistics, testing, and contracting teams to ensure a comprehensive technical analysis and evaluation is performed. Utilize various digital engineering tools to evaluate and integrate sub-system content with system-level requirements and architecture (functional and physical). Support the development and maintenance of program documentation, technical assessments (e.g., SRRs, PDRs, Milestone A, and other reviews), and decision memos. Participate in subsystem SETR events to identify system impacts and facilitate working groups to resolve technical issues. Risk Management: Collaborate with subsystem prime contractors to identify, track, and resolve system-level risks, issues, and opportunities. Perform technical risk assessments, identify potential risks (and opportunities), and establish comprehensive mitigation strategies for critical systems. Coordinate with cross-functional teams to implement mitigation strategies for identified risks. Documentation: Manage program documentation, ensuring white papers, status briefings, and technical assessments remain accurate and accessible. Support the configuration management and change management of program artifacts and documentation through change control boards (CCB) and engineering change processes (ECP). About the program Our organization has supported the U.S. Navy's PAE Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) continually since the program's inception in the 1950s. SSP developed the first sea-based, underwater-launched Strategic Weapon System (SWS), a defense system that is truly critical to our national security. For more than six decades, SSP has maintained and upgraded this weapon system, and we have been there every step of the way. The sea-based SWS is the ultimate stealthy weapon system and is the first leg of the U.S. nuclear triad. With over 70% of our nation's nuclear arsenal under its control, its importance in maintaining world peace cannot be overstated. The development of Columbia, the most advanced nuclear-powered, nuclear-armed submarine ever designed, as well the next D5LE2 weapon system is under way and will begin to be rolled out over the next decade. The Navy projects this system to be operational through 2084, meaning the program will have a total life span of more than 120 years. This is a unique program and BAE Systems employees on this program understand they are part of an important legacy. In response to global threats, SSP is continuing to defend our nation by adding a second nuclear defense system option to their mission responsibilities with the SLCM-N Program. SSP is building this modular, survivable cruise missile system that will be outfitted on some submarines and surface ships. SSP is responsible for designing, developing, building, and deploying the SLCM-N, while BAE Systems supports our customer in the pre-development activities for the SLCM-N Program. As a decades-long, sole-source partner on multiple contracts on behalf of our customer, our program offers remarkable stability while simultaneously experiencing significant growth.

Job Description Job Description BAE Systems has an immediate need for a highly qualified On-site Systems Engineer to support our work as a prime contractor on the US Navy's Portfolio Acquisition Executive (PAE) Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) Sea-Launched Cruise Missile-Nuclear (SLCM-N) Program. The candidate will have extensive knowledge and understanding of Systems Engineering for complex system of systems to successfully deliver major programs in alignment with the DoD 5000 Acquisition framework. The On-Site Systems Engineer provides authoritative systems engineering and integration expertise across the SLCM-N portfolio. The role supports the chief engineer customer as an embedded technical representative with technical branches, ensuring successful integration of complex strategic weapon system elements. This role ensures subsystem elements are synthesized into a coherent system architecture that meets requirements and preserves SSP mission design principles. The engineer will interface daily with government, BAE Systems, and prime contractor personnel. The On-site Systems Engineer will assist in the development of instructions and guidance to execute systems engineering management functions to support Systems Engineering Technical Review (SETR) milestone event planning and execution. This role involves facilitating critical acquisition milestones, ensuring compliance with exit/entry criteria, and providing expert analysis to minimize technical risk at the system level. The On-site Systems Engineer will report to the Systems Engineering Supervisor for SLCM-N Technical Planning and Execution and will be onsite with the subsystem technical branch representatives. This role will provide expert technical guidance and system perspective to multidisciplinary teams (Requirements, Architecture, Verification, Integration, Test, Safety, Cybersecurity, etc.) to ensure seamless integration and interoperability of strategic deterrence components and subsystems. Key responsibilities of the On-site Systems Engineer include, but are not limited to: Technical Oversight and Integration: Advising and overseeing technical branches and prime contractors on systems engineering activities across the full acquisition lifecycle, from concept and requirements definition through design, development, testing, deployment, and sustainment for DoD/DoW programs. Support and coordinate technical reviews, leveraging training and experience to provide informed analysis and recommendations. Collaborate with engineering, logistics, testing, and contracting teams to ensure a comprehensive technical analysis and evaluation is performed. Utilize various digital engineering tools to evaluate and integrate sub-system content with system-level requirements and architecture (functional and physical). Support the development and maintenance of program documentation, technical assessments (e.g., SRRs, PDRs, Milestone A, and other reviews), and decision memos. Participate in subsystem SETR events to identify system impacts and facilitate working groups to resolve technical issues. Risk Management: Collaborate with subsystem prime contractors to identify, track, and resolve system-level risks, issues, and opportunities. Perform technical risk assessments, identify potential risks (and opportunities), and establish comprehensive mitigation strategies for critical systems. Coordinate with cross-functional teams to implement mitigation strategies for identified risks. Documentation: Manage program documentation, ensuring white papers, status briefings, and technical assessments remain accurate and accessible. Support the configuration management and change management of program artifacts and documentation through change control boards (CCB) and engineering change processes (ECP). About the program Our organization has supported the U.S. Navy's PAE Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) continually since the program's inception in the 1950s. SSP developed the first sea-based, underwater-launched Strategic Weapon System (SWS), a defense system that is truly critical to our national security. For more than six decades, SSP has maintained and upgraded this weapon system, and we have been there every step of the way. The sea-based SWS is the ultimate stealthy weapon system and is the first leg of the U.S. nuclear triad. With over 70% of our nation's nuclear arsenal under its control, its importance in maintaining world peace cannot be overstated. The development of Columbia, the most advanced nuclear-powered, nuclear-armed submarine ever designed, as well the next D5LE2 weapon system is under way and will begin to be rolled out over the next decade. The Navy projects this system to be operational through 2084, meaning the program will have a total life span of more than 120 years. This is a unique program and BAE Systems employees on this program understand they are part of an important legacy. In response to global threats, SSP is continuing to defend our nation by adding a second nuclear defense system option to their mission responsibilities with the SLCM-N Program. SSP is building this modular, survivable cruise missile system that will be outfitted on some submarines and surface ships. SSP is responsible for designing, developing, building, and deploying the SLCM-N, while BAE Systems supports our customer in the pre-development activities for the SLCM-N Program. As a decades-long, sole-source partner on multiple contracts on behalf of our customer, our program offers remarkable stability while simultaneously experiencing significant growth.
