Job Description BAE Systems is seeking an experienced Systems Engineer to support our work as a prime contractor on a high-profile U.S. Navy weapon system. Serving as the Cybersecurity Systems Engineer, you will influence a multi-disciplinary team responsible for risk management of System Security Engineering (SSE). Currently we are developing and implementing a strategic solution for the integration of a model-based systems engineering approach to support current and future large-scale missile systems. You will collaborate directly with government customers to create policy, process, and implement appropriate tools for architecting, modeling, and designing a SSE infrastructure to continuously assess, mitigate, and minimize risk to the system's security and to the overall mission. You will work closely with a specialized team and will interact routinely with the customer partner, workforce, and SSE team members to ensure successful administration and execution of a mission critical program. In this role, the Cybersecurity Systems Engineer will also support technical meetings, prepare and present project status reports to senior Navy and BAE leadership, oversee the development of associated SSE deliverables, provide technical input to customer documentation, and oversee the development and maintenance of the U.S. Navy's Strategic Systems Program (SSP) policy and directives. This is a unique opportunity to be part of the team enabling our Nation's technological superiority on strategic missions through development of advanced concepts and initiatives throughout the systems lifecycle. As a decades long sole source partner on multiple contracts on behalf of our customer, our program has remarkable stability and is concurrently experiencing significant growth. Combined, these factors provide ample opportunity for professional growth and development for capable and talented individuals on our team. About the program Our organization has supported the SSP continually since the program's inception in the 1950s. SSP developed the first sea-based, underwater-launched Strategic Weapon System (SWS), a defense system that is truly critical to our national security. For more than six decades, SSP has maintained and upgraded this weapon system and we have been there every step of the way. The sea-based SWS is the ultimate stealthy weapon system and as the first leg of the U.S. nuclear triad. With over 70% of our nation's nuclear arsenal its importance to maintaining world peace cannot be overstated. The development of Columbia, the most advanced nuclear-powered, nuclear-armed submarine ever designed, as well the next D5LE2 weapon system is under way and will begin to be rolled out over the next decade. The Navy projects this system to be operational through 2084, meaning the program will have a total life span of more than 120 years. This is a truly unique program and BAE Systems employees on this program understand they are part of an important legacy.
