Join the Space Vehicle Systems Engineering Telecommunications team at BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems (SMS) - a group of motivated problem-solvers faced with the daily challenge of ensuring communications to and from space vehicles. We're excited about the projects we're involved in and have a commitment to the missions we enable. Offering growth opportunities at all skill levels 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 an independent, action-oriented technical lead to support telecom subsystem design, development, integration, and test throughout the lifecycle of space vehicle (SV) development for major programs. A telecom subsystem may be an entire communications payload or a subassembly to carry tracking, telemetry, command, and instrument data between a space vehicle and relays or ground stations. Make a difference. Love what you do. Realize your full potential. 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 solid execution. What You’ll Do: • Define architectures and support trade studies to appropriately scope subsystem design, assembly, integration, test, launch and early operation (LEOPS) for proposals or studies. • Understand, define, and manage subsystem requirements. • Understand, define, and manage internal/external interfaces. • Report cost, schedule, and technical status to internal/external customers. • Define, quantify, manage, and report technical risks. • Provide and/or review engineering analyses to demonstrate adequate subsystem performance and to verify satisfaction of technical requirements (Ex: link budgets, pointing accuracy, component performance, etc.). • Support subsystem and program milestones/gates with appropriate analyses, presentations, and coordination. • Support identification, procurement, development, test, and integration of hardware, software, and support equipment. • Manage an incremental assembly, integration, and test strategy to adequately demonstrate subsystem compliance to requirements and interface integrity. • Support systems-level engineering trades. • Support LEOPS, on-orbit test, and post-delivery plans and execution. • Maintain a regular and predictable work schedule. • Establish and maintain effective working relationships within the department, the Strategic Business Units, Strategic Capabilities Units and the Company. Interact appropriately with others in order to maintain a positive and productive work environment. • Perform other duties as necessary. On-Site Work Environment: This position requires regular in-person engagement by working on-site five days each normally scheduled week in the primary work location. Travel and local commute between company campuses and other possible non-company locations may be required. Working Conditions: • Work is performed in an office, laboratory, production floor, or cleanroom, outdoors or remote research environment. • May occasionally work in production work centers where use of protective equipment and gear is required. • May access other facilities in various weather conditions.
