Job Description

$10,000 Sign-On bonus is being offered to external hires.

Join the Mission Readiness & Commissioning team at BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems (SMS) – a group of motivated problem solvers. We like to have fun and enjoy life - both at work, and in our free time. We're excited about the challenging projects we're involved in and have a commitment to the missions we enable. 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.

Don’t meet all the desired expertise? Studies have shown that some people are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single desired qualification. If you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every desired qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.

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 strong execution.

What You’ll Do:

• Perform telemetry trending, mission performance analysis, calibration, and maintenance for satellite and ground systems.
• Support on-orbit operations by monitoring satellite and ground system health and assisting with anomaly resolution.
• Develop and maintain mission operations products, including command scripts, alarm limits, procedures, constraints, and training materials.
• Collaborate with subject matter experts to improve operational tools, command products, and operator training resources.
• Support integration, testing, and deployment of new satellite and ground system capabilities and product releases.
