Job Description

Do you have experience writing code in Java? Do you love Linux? Have you built and used automated build pipelines? Have you worked on a small team previously and worn a few hats? We need your talents and experience as a Senior Software Engineer on our Space Systems team.

You will join a team of engineers on a program that provides customers with scalable data processing enabling real-time situational awareness in support of the warfighter. You will have the opportunity to build upon and modernize existing software capabilities. Tired of learning a new program every 6 months? Our position provides stable work for a long-time customer.

When you become a member of our team, you will work across multiple disciplines and collaborate with our Systems, Hardware, and Test Engineers to impact all phases of the Software Development Lifecycle. At BAE Systems, we promote a strong, collaborative culture and provide our employees with the tools, skills and training they need to succeed. We offer a flexible work environment and multiple options for work schedules (9/80, 4/10, and others). Our company is part of the community and driven to improve our future and protect our freedom.

If you have worked previously in a secure environment, consider yourself a rockstar teammate, and enjoy contributing to a mission that matters, we'd love to meet you!
