Job Description:
Job Description US CITIZENSHIP REQUIRED#LI-SH2Join the Fault
Management team - a diverse group of creative, passionate systems
engineers with an expertise in designing on-board autonomy to
protect space system mission objectives in the presence of critical
faults and failures. We work on everything from payloads to space
vehicles to mission architectures. Our close-knit team looks out
for one another, sharing expertise & common design practices,
collaboratively engaging on the hardest technical problems, and
constantly sharpening one another through candid and curious
discussions. Fault management offers opportunities to dig into the
lowest level details of the system, really understanding how it
works, while also considering the big-picture architecture,
customer needs, and mission objectives. Individuals who thrive in
this environment build skills that prepare them to move into
technical leadership roles like chief engineer, architecture lead,
or lead systems engineer. We are searching for innovative leaders
who enjoy rolling up their sleeves to solve hard problems alongside
other subject matter experts to help us ensure mission success for
the next generation of BAE Systems missions. We're seeking an
action-oriented engineer with intellectual curiosity who is excited
to apply systems engineering fundamentals and technical expertise
to designing autonomous fault detection and correction. Our
national defense missions require the utmost attention to the fault
management design to ensure mission success through simple yet
robust implementations. As part of this team, you will have the
opportunity to grow as a leader, gain technical depth in multiple
subsystems, refine your communication skills, and challenge
yourself to solve hard problems with a mission success perspective.
You will participate in internal and external development and
milestone reviews, design fault protection that will be loaded to
flight hardware, develop scripts and participate in verification
and validation of the design, and ultimately support commissioning
of the mission on-orbit as well as provide expert factory
reach-back support in the case of on-orbit anomalies. You will work
closely with, and be mentored by, experts in the field. You will
have opportunities to take ownership of portions of the overall
design while collaborating with a team to ensure all the piece
parts work together. Your work will provide development, I&T,
and operations experience that will prepare you for growth
opportunities in multiple directions - we'd love to hear about your
personal career goals. Our fault management engineers are systems
engineers, and as a result, you will have opportunities to
contribute beyond the fault management design. Architecture design,
CONOPS definition, integration and test, requirements verification,
and mission operations are common places where fault management
engineers contribute to the program beyond the fault design. Our
engineers are involved from program study phases all the way
through on-orbit factory support; true cradle to grave exposure to
the space mission lifecycle.The Engineering, Science and Analysis
(ESA) Strategic Capabilities Unit comprises the technical talent
and organizational leadership that enables the successful delivery
