BAE Systems • Rockville, MD • 1h ago

Job Description

BAE Systems is seeking a full-time Systems Engineer (w/Mechanical focus) to be a part of our Interface Management team working on the US Sea-Launch-Cruise-Missile (SLCM-N) Weapons Program. The selected candidate will work closely with numerous engineering teams supporting the US Navy's Strategic Systems Programs command and its industry partners.

About SLCM-N

In response to global threats, SSP is continuing to defend our nation by adding a second nuclear defense system option to their mission responsibilities with the SLCM-N Program. SSP is building this modular, survivable cruise missile system that will be outfitted on some submarines and surface ships. SSP is responsible for designing, developing, building, and deploying the SLCM-N Weapons System and BAE Systems is supporting our customer in the pre-development activities for the program.

Our primary function is to ensure that all weapon system interface requirements are correctly defined and properly allocated to the cognizant organization. This is achieved by performing technical change evaluations and interfacing with government and contractor activities to define Weapon System Coordinated Interfaces. Accuracy, integrity, the ability to work independently, and a natural curiosity are important traits for a successful candidate to demonstrate.

and the U.S. Navy s Strategic Systems Programs (SSP)

Our organization has supported the U.S. Navy s Strategic Systems Programs (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.

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.
