BAE Systems Aerospace & Mission Systems (AMS) is seeking a visionary technical leader to steer the development and execution of next-generation space-based systems. This is a high-impact role designed for a seasoned engineer who can bridge the gap between complex technical requirements and strategic mission objectives.

As a Mission Chief Engineer, you will not simply manage a project; you will be the technical authority for missions that define the future of the aerospace domain. You will operate at the highest levels of the organization, serving as the primary technical liaison between our engineering teams, BAE Systems executive leadership, and key government stakeholders. If you possess the technical depth to guide a program from inception to operational delivery and the executive presence to influence strategic decision-making, we invite you to lead this mission.

Strategic Interface: Serve as a primary technical point of contact for government customers and BAE Systems executives, translating complex technical challenges into actionable strategic insights.
Executive Influence: Partner with the Program Management Office and the Chief Systems Engineer to align technical execution with corporate and customer priorities.
High-Stakes Communication: Prepare and deliver high-level technical briefings and strategic recommendations to senior government officials and executive leadership.
Organizational Mentorship & Growth:
Technical Stewardship: Mentor and coach senior and mid-level engineers, elevating the collective technical capability of the Mission Systems organization.
Process Innovation: Establish best-in-class systems engineering standards that ensure the delivery of high-impact, discriminating technologies.
Maintain a regular and predictable work schedule.
Establish and maintain effective working relationships within the department, the Strategic Business Units, Strategic Capabilities Units and the Company. Interact appropriately with others in order to maintain a positive and productive work environment.
