Senior Principal System Engineer - Hybrid

Job Description
Because this role involves a combination of collaborative/in-person and independent work, it will take the form of a hybrid work format, with time split between working onsite and remotely.
BAE Systems is looking for a Senior Principal Systems Engineer with a passion for engineering and the desire to be part of an innovative, dedicated team responsible for designing, developing, and testing of industry-leading navigation and sensing solutions in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This new member should be interested in solving complex system of systems problems. The qualified candidate selected will have the potential to engage in various areas ranging from defining and designing the next evolution of Assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing systems to leading the designs for a scalable sensor solution to solve numerous smaller form factor seeker solutions.
The successful system engineering candidate will need experience working with numerous stakeholders such as customers, leaders, software, hardware, and ASIC engineers to develop solutions for large complex systems. The proven ability to translate conceptual operations and high-level design intent to creating systems definition and breakdown for large systems will be required. The candidate must have experience in working across the development lifecycle with history of integrating complex systems and proving their capabilities through lab or field testing. They will be working in a dynamic team environment with engineers that share the same passion for providing cutting edge solutions to today's military.
As a part of this team, you will have responsibilities spanning all phases of the engineering life cycle, including capturing concepts of operations, requirements analysis, design, integration, verification, and transition to production. Assignments may include tasks such as system design work for a variety of military applications including the development and validation of various system models and simulations. These models and simulations will be developed to support various system analysis as well as direct implementation in digital signal processors for use as rapid prototypes or product solutions. In addition to participating in initial system design, you will integrate and develop tests of hardware, software, firmware of new navigation and sensor products using a combination GPS RF simulators and live sky testing. It will be expected that this team member also provide guidance and leadership of the work activities to those with less experience in working in complex systems to aide in developing the skills of the team.
