Offering growth opportunities at all levels of skill and experience, we're looking for leaders and innovators who can continue our reputation for creativity and technical excellence, while helping to define the future of BAE Systems SMS.
We’re seeking a self-motivated systems engineer to join our Mission Sustainment team. Our sustainment engineers support test, factory reach-back, and operations/maintenance of spacecraft and their payloads for commercial, DoW, and NASA customers. Sustainment engineers also engage earlier in the lifecycle (requirements, design, analysis, and test) to support effective preparation for, and transition to, operations. Our team and products may support a variety of activities including:
Spacecraft launch, initialization, checkout, and calibration
Command and control of the spacecraft
Monitoring the health and safety of the spacecraft subsystems, payloads, and ground system
Mission data collection, distribution, and analysis

You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
