Job Description BAE Systems is seeking a Modeling & Simulation (M&S) Engineer to support our work as a prime contractor on a high-profile U.S. Navy weapon system. Knowledge of system integration, dynamic analysis capabilities, and a desire to mold Modeling, Simulation, Visualization, and Analysis (MSVA) processes and procedures are important traits we expect the successful candidate to possess and demonstrate.
This position will be responsible for developing models and simulations to support the SLCM-N Program, focusing on establishing capability in the interface design, system design, and architecture layers of the system pyramid. A successful candidate will design, develop, and integrate models & simulations that enable testing, validation, and evaluation of subsystems, ensuring alignment with SLCM-N program requirements and coordinated designs along with defining frameworks and standards for the program. They will collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify, develop, and validate models and simulations, utilizing expertise in simulation development, modeling, and programming languages such as C++, Python, and/or MATLAB. Additionally, they will contribute to the establishment of a modeling and simulation framework that supports the programs goals and objectives, and may help to stand up an organization-wide working group for modeling and simulation to facilitate collaboration and knowledge-sharing across teams.
About BAE Systems 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 is 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 unique program and BAE Systems employees on this program understand they are part of an important legacy.
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 and BAE Systems is supporting our customer in the pre-development activities for the SLCM-N Program.
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.
