See what you're missing. Our employees work on the world's most advanced electronics - from detecting threats for F-35 pilots to illuminating the night for soldiers. Spanning air, land, sea, and space, we are developing the technology of tomorrow, delivered today. Drawing strength from our differences, we're innovating for the future. And you can, too. Our flexible work environment provides you a chance to change the world without giving up your personal life. We put our customers first - exemplified by our mission: "We Protect Those Who Protect Us®." Sound like a team you want to be a part of? Come build your career with BAE Systems.
In Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) Systems, you'll help develop systems that sense, control, exploit and disseminate actionable information to warfighters supporting a variety of missions.
The Customer Technical Solutions (CTS) team at Advanced GEOINT Systems (AGS) provides on-site installation, configuration, support, and training for the various Geospatial eXploitation Products (GXP®) Platform, desktop, and mobile products in environments ranging from traditional desktop to cloud based implementations. The ideal candidate for this position will have experience in desktop, virtual server, and cloud based applications and services. Other duties will require troubleshooting customer issues and requests via e-mail, phone, and on-site customer visits. Customer interactions are documented in Salesforce (Customer Relationship Management). Software deficiency and enhancement requests are documented in Azure DevOps. Candidate will be required to conduct software demonstrations at trade shows, conferences, and customer sites, so strong presentation and public speaking skills are needed. Assist with training material development and other sales, marketing, testing, and customer support activities as required. Work with members of our software team, product managers, and customers to develop, integrate, and configure the different GXP® applications.
As a CTS representative, candidates will need to be self-motivated and self-sufficient in a fast paced, customer facing environment where you will often be GXP's first impression for both analysts and leadership. You will be asked to actively seek new opportunities to grow the customer base, assist sales, and maintain relationships with existing customers by providing custom training at sites and technical support for GXP products. In this distinct environment, candidates will have the opportunity to travel and shape our current customer base and engage in unique opportunities within the company and at customer sites.
