Job Description

BAE Systems is seeking a System Security

Engineer with a focus in Criticality, Trust, and Assurance to support our work as a prime contractor on a high-profile U.S. Navy weapon system. The candidate should be a self-starter with a keen eye for detail as it relates to technical execution. The candidate should have a demonstrated competency in the evaluation of Systems Engineering Technical Readiness Review (SETRR) for Research Development Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) programs. To be successful, the candidate must understand the importance of implementing Systems Security Engineering (SSE) early in the design phase of the engineering lifecycle. Early risk identification and mitigation is a key tenant in the proper integration of SSE into a Weapons System.

This position is responsible for assisting government and prime contractors in the identification process for Critical Program Information (CPI). The CPI identification process plays a vital role in the prioritization methodology for how SSE s depth in defense against adversary s techniques and tactics is systematically applied on key technologies and components. This position will also assist the government and prime contractors in the execution of Criticality Analysis (CA) for independent mission threads to accomplish defense in depth for Mission Critical Functions (MCFs) and Critical Components (CCs), as well. Being aware of the Anti-Tamper (AT) community s best practices and relevant publications such as the AT Technical Instruction Guide (TIG) and AT Framework is of the utmost importance. There will be 10 to 20% travel required to support this position.

and the U.S. Navy s Strategic Systems Programs (SSP)

Our organization has supported the U.S. Navy s Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) continually since the program s inception in the 1950s. SSP developed the first sea-based, underwater-launched Strategic Weapon System (SWS), a defense system that is truly critical to our national security. For more than six decades, SSP has maintained and upgraded this weapon system and we have been there every step of the way. The sea-based SWS is the ultimate stealthy weapon system and is the first leg of the U.S. nuclear triad. With over 70% of our nation s nuclear arsenal its importance to maintaining world peace cannot be overstated. The development of Columbia, the most advanced nuclear-powered, nuclear-armed submarine ever designed, as well the next D5LE2 weapon system is under way and will begin to be rolled out over the next decade. The Navy projects this system to be operational through 2084, meaning the program will have a total life span of more than 120 years. This is a unique program and BAE Systems employees on this program understand they are part of an important legacy. As a decades long sole source partner on multiple contracts on behalf of our customer, our program has remarkable stability and is concurrently experiencing significant growth. Combined, these factors provide ample opportunity for professional growth and development for capable and talented individuals on our team.
