Join the Fault Management team at BAE Systems - a group of creative, passionate systems engineers with an expertise in designing on-board autonomy to protect space system mission objectives in the presence of critical faults and failures. We work on everything from payloads to space vehicles to mission architectures. Our close-knit team shares expertise & common design practices, collaboratively engages on the hardest technical problems, and sharpens one another through candid and curious discussions. Fault management offers opportunities to dig into the lowest level details of the system, really understanding how it works, while also considering the big-picture architecture, customer needs, and mission objectives. Individuals who thrive in this environment build skills that prepare them to move into technical leadership roles like chief engineer, architecture lead, or lead systems engineer. We are searching for innovative leaders who enjoy rolling up their sleeves to solve hard problems alongside other subject matter experts to ensure mission success for the next generation of BAE Systems missions.
