Rewarding.

We are looking for a self-motivated engineering leader to join our Countermeasures and Electromagnetic Attack Solutions (CEMA) business area as a Chief Engineer on cutting edge, next generation EO/IR systems.

As a Chief Engineer on a project or product family, you are the technical conscience of the program, ensuring the system(s), product(s), and service(s) being developed and delivered are viable, fit for purpose, and will satisfy customer needs, product/system requirements, and the mission and/or application. The Chief Engineer is the primary owner of the technical solution and the technical interface to Program, Engineering, Functional and Executive leadership.

The Role: As an EO/IR Chief Engineer, you will:

Understand requirements, missions, use cases, and constraints
Define the technical solution, viability, and adequacy
Lead system architecture design and optimization activities, trades and analyses
Ensure system design and implementation meet technical requirements and customer / mission needs within allocated engineering cost & schedule
Ensure system design is realizable, maintainable, supportable and testable
Drive technical risk and opportunity definition, identification, and mitigation/realization
Be the technical interface to our customer, PMO and executive leadership
Collaborate with our FAST Labs R&D organization to plan and transition new technologies into the business area.

Who you are:

Collaborative: You love working with a team to realize innovative solutions to complex problems
Customer Oriented: You’re always anticipating your customer’s needs and working to exceed their expectations
Innovative: You are always looking for ways to do things better and faster

See what you’re missing. CEMA develops and fields world class active and passive optical electronic warfare systems. We welcome all those who have big ideas, crave innovation, want to drive fielding velocity, and have the passion to bring the warfighter home safe. With a 9/80 work schedule, our flexible work environment provides you a chance to change the world without giving up your personal life. We put our customers first – exemplified by our mission: “We Protect Those Who Protect Us®.” Sound like a team you want to be a part of? Come build your career with BAE Systems.
