Operational Analysis Engineer

Job Description
Ready to make a difference? BAE Systems is looking for systems engineers experienced in analysis, modeling and simulation and test environments to develop, build, and work on the world's most advanced electromagnetic spectrum operations systems - detecting, identifying, locating, and countering threats for joint forces and international aircrew. We develop highly sophisticated digital Electronic Warfare (EW) systems and we are looking for motivated systems engineers to join cross-functional, multi-disciplinary teams developing and supporting next generation systems.
This full-time role is with the Mission-Driven Analysis and Testing team, which utilizes operational analysis to develop scenarios for injection into target hardware and feeds the hardware performance test results back into the mission analysis. Responsibilities include performing threat analysis, mission effectiveness, building a stronger linkage between the actual hardware/emulators and the effects in Operational Analysis models, and producing an end-to-end fighter engagement analysis, along with data products to communicate results to our customers. The qualified engineer will have:

• strong analytical, organizational, and interpersonal skills,
• the ability to creatively innovate and tenaciously seek solutions,
• familiarity with good test design, defining the right measures/objectives while properly varying/isolating variables of interest,
• thrive on collaboration,
• instinctively drill down to root causes when evaluating problems,
• be highly-driven by overarching objectives and outcomes,
• be able to visually communicate study results in an operational context that resonates with customers, and,
• have a passion for enabling the warfighter.

Work location can be Nashua, NH or Manchester, NH. Because of the need for consistent, in-person collaboration and/or the requirement to perform all work onsite due to the nature of this particular role, it will be performed full-time on site. This means work will be conducted on location at a BAE Systems facility 100% of the time.
See what you're missing. Electronic Combat Solutions has technology, engineering and program teams that educate and mentor colleagues to deliver leading Electronic Warfare capabilities. We welcome all those who have big ideas, crave innovation, want to drive fielding velocity and have the passion to bring the warfighter home safe. With a 9/80 schedule, and every other Friday off, 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.
