Job Description

BAE Systems is seeking an exceptional Systems Security Engineer (SSE) to provide leadership and management support the Air Force's acquisition of the next-generation Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), the Sentinel weapon system. This is a rare opportunity to join a high-performing team within a large defense company with an extraordinary, positive culture and mission focus.

As the Systems Security Engineering lead, you will play a critical role in ensuring the security and integrity of the Sentinel weapon system. You will assess and review requirements decomposition developed by the Prime contractor to ensure compliance with US Government (USG) Weapon System Specification (WSS) for the Sentinel weapon system. Your responsibilities will also include coordinating with multiple internal stakeholders to document requirements discrepancies and overall requirement quality management, providing technical expertise in Program Protection related efforts, and contributing to executing day-to-day team responsibilities. Additionally, you will evaluate technology tools and systems to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and applicable protection of information.

In this role, you will also provide leadership, leading the way and providing critical feedback for the weapon system's requirements while guidance a team of highly skilled employees. This is a unique opportunity to develop your leadership skills and make a significant impact on the program. As a leader, you will be responsible for shaping the development and deployment of the next-generation ICBM, working closely with cross-functional teams to ensure the success of the Sentinel program.

To be successful in this role, you will need to have US Citizenship status, knowledge and experience working with DoD and/or Air Force policies and processes, and skills and expertise in multiple areas, including security requirements, security architecture views, threat assessment, networking, security technologies, hardware and software security, security test and evaluation, vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, and supply chain security risk assessment. Leadership experience is also required, with the ability to influence, inspire, and guide a team of highly skilled employees.

By joining our team, you will have the opportunity to work on a long-term project with a significant impact on national security, deploying over a nine-year period beginning in approximately 2026 and remaining operational until at least 2075. You will also enjoy a healthy work-life balance and a "Top Workplace" culture, recognized for five consecutive years. The Sentinel Program is a complex "Mega-Project" modernizing the entire ICBM weapon system deployed across tens of thousands of square miles in five states. It includes a complete refurbishment of hundreds of aging Minuteman III ICBM facilities, communications network, and a newly designed, technologically advanced ballistic missile, the Sentinel.

If you're a motivated and experienced Systems Security Engineer with leadership experience looking for a new challenge, we encourage you to apply now to join our team and make a difference in the development of the Sentinel weapon system.

Pursuant to Government contract, this position requires US Citizenship status.
