Job Description
BAE Systems is looking for a senior-level candidate to lead the Real Time Mission Management (RTMM), Fusion, and Tracking (RFT) Product Team in the ES Defense Engineering team here at BAE Systems, Inc.
The RFT Product Team oversees the management and evolution of RTMM capabilities, which includes routing, mission planning, fusion, and tracking. The RFT Product Team provides the technical management and process know-how to develop, maintain and deliver componentized core Mission Management, Fusion, and Tracking software and systems capabilities to both near term and forward-looking critical programs. In the role as the RFT Product Team Lead, you will lead a team of software and systems engineers to develop solutions for our customer's problems, support existing programs, perform research to develop new capabilities, and lead the governing effort (e.g. Change Control Board, or CCB) managing the identification, development, adjudication and DevSecOps environment to deliver core RTMM, Fusion, and Tracking components to programs. Additionally, you will work across the ES Business Areas to understand their needs for RTMM, Fusion, and Tracking technologies and develop plans along with the business to implement the technologies in the timeline required either on contract or internal funds, including support to technical marketing and proposal efforts (or delegating team members to support).
The RFT Product Team Lead is expected to be a senior representative of the ES Engineering organization to both internal (i.e. Business Area) and external customers across a variety of activities. As a result, the RFT Product Team Lead will likely have program responsibilities (e.g. Software Engineering Lead (SWEL), or Program Engineering Manager (PEM)) as well as insights into a host of other programs/efforts.
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.
