Job Description

BAE Systems is seeking an experienced Engineer for an exciting opportunity to support the Air Force's acquisition of the next generation Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) system, known as the Sentinel ICBM Program.

The Sentinel ICBM Program is an enormous and complex Mega-Project modernizing the entire ICBM weapon system deployed across tens of thousands of square miles in five states. Without a doubt, Sentinel is one of the Department of Defense s (DoD s) most important acquisition efforts for the next decade, if not longer. It includes a complete refurbishment or replacement of hundreds of aging Minuteman III ICBM facilities to secure and support a newly-designed, technologically-advanced ballistic missile. It will also provide an entirely new command & control system (including an updated airborne launch capability) as well as vast array of required support equipment specifically engineered to operate and sustain the new weapon system over the decades ahead. It is a long-term project with the weapon system anticipated to deploy over a nine-year period beginning in the late 2020s and remaining operational until at least 2075. Sentinel is a career-defining program that will present unique and challenging opportunities that are simply not available with smaller DoD projects.

Job Description:

This position will directly support the Sentinel Program sCommand & Launch (C&L) Divisionas they acquirethe weapon system command & control capabilities for the next generation ICBM.Areas of responsibility that fall under the C&L Team include:

• Weapon system command & control (e.g., missile crew launch console and command data processing equipment, etc.)

• ICBM nuclear codes/cryptography (i.e., securing the nuclear launch codes and assuring confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of the critical commands)

• ICBM targeting (i.e., weapon system processing of the strategic missile aim points)

• Nuclear command, control & communications (NC3) systems (i.e., national communications systems used for receiving Presidential nuclear orders in the launch control center)

• ICBM command pathways (i.e., hardline & RF networks for voice & data command transmission and reception in the missile field)

• Airborne launch control capabilities (i.e., secondary launch capability aboard a US Navy E-6B command & control aircraft)

• Actuation & mechanical systems (e.g., missile suspension system, launcher closure door system, ballistic gas generators, missile umbilical retractors, etc.)

• Power distribution & endurance systems (e.g., backup generators, emergency batteries, HVAC systems, etc. at the launch facilities)

• Physical security systems (e.g., motion sensors, visual sensors, delay features, etc. at the launch facilities)
