Jobs at BAE Systems, Inc.

BAE Systems seeks systems engineers across multiple seniority levels to design, model, integrate, test, and support flight-critical electronic systems. Responsibilities include requirements development and analysis, SysML modeling, system architecture, integration and test, and collaboration on avionics, engine controls, electrification, and related subsystems. Roles range from individual contributor to technical leadership.

Support the Austin Business Center by coordinating strategic site projects: track tasks and timelines, maintain documentation, analyze data, coordinate meetings, drive process improvements, prepare stakeholder communications, monitor metrics, and perform administrative duties to ensure timely project delivery.

Design and implement embedded software for avionics and related control systems across the full lifecycle. Develop low-level bare-metal software, device drivers and BSPs using C/C++/Assembly in embedded toolchains, collaborate with systems, hardware, test teams, and mentor peers. Participate in integration, testing, and customer technical reviews.

Lead and develop a systems engineering team designing flight and engine control systems. Provide technical guidance, manage staffing and resource allocation, drive MBSE and engineering processes, collaborate cross-functionally, lead design reviews, ensure requirements, integration, verification, quality, and regulatory compliance.

Design, allocate and manage complex avionics system, hardware and software requirements; develop embedded control system architectures; define interfaces; perform system integration, verification, validation and acceptance testing; produce technical documentation; support proposals and customer presentations; assist with reliability, maintainability, logistics, and specialty engineering tasks.

Drive supplier development by analyzing manufacturing and quality data, leading cross-functional supplier events, performing onsite technical assessments, implementing process improvements (automation, tooling, control plans), creating training and development plans, and presenting results to stakeholders. Travel up to 50%.

The Senior Analog Circuit Design Engineer will design and verify analog circuitry for avionics, collaborate with engineering teams, and perform circuit analysis and troubleshooting.

Lead mechanical design, analysis, prototyping, test, and production for high-reliability defense electronics. Create 3D models and drawings, perform thermal/structural/vibration analyses, develop and execute test plans, troubleshoot failures, and support requirements, manufacturing, and new-business capture.

Support front-end circuit card assembly and conformal coating manufacturing: develop, optimize, and sustain processes; troubleshoot equipment; run SPC and yield-improvement efforts; support NPI/NRE, equipment qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ), and ensure AS9100/IPC/J-STD compliance while maintaining process documentation and driving continuous improvement.

Join a cross-disciplinary team to design, develop, integrate, and test software for flight and mission‑critical avionics systems. Collaborate with systems, hardware, and test engineers, produce design artifacts, perform software testing/validation, and follow engineering processes. A coding assessment is part of the selection process.

Maintain and modernize UNIX server infrastructure and lead cloud migration to Azure. Build and operate CI/CD and DevSecOps pipelines, implement IaC (ARM/Bicep/Terraform), automate configuration management, ensure security and performance, and troubleshoot critical incidents across hybrid cloud environments.

Lead migration and modernization of Windows workloads to Azure, design and maintain Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines and IaC (ARM/Bicep/Terraform), automate via PowerShell/REST, manage Windows servers and containerized workloads (AKS, Docker, Tanzu), enforce security/compliance (CMMC, STIGs, CIS), and mentor junior engineers.

As Technical Director, lead the development of engine control systems for advanced aircraft, engaging with customers, managing technology roadmaps, and mentoring teams.

Lead and manage a large team of engineers in hardware design and development. Oversee program execution, cross-discipline collaboration, and innovation initiatives in RF Systems hardware.

The role involves leading the design and testing of complex digital circuit cards. Responsibilities include mentoring junior engineers, interfacing across departments, troubleshooting, and improving design methodologies.

The Senior Principal Laser Engineer will design, analyze, and test advanced laser systems, contribute to program planning and proposals, and communicate findings with colleagues and clients.

The Embedded Software Engineer will develop, integrate, and validate safety-critical software for avionics systems, ensuring compliance with security processes and collaborating with cross-functional teams.

Responsible for designing, testing, and verifying DC/DC and AC/DC power electronics for military and commercial applications, collaborating with multiple engineering disciplines.

The Senior Principal Optical Engineer will design and analyze optical subsystems, manage project schedules, conduct testing and validation, and collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams on EO/IR systems.

Design, test, and verify DC/DC and AC/DC power electronics for military and commercial aircraft applications, collaborating across multiple disciplines.
