RF Design Engineer; Hybrid Security Clearance

Position: RF Design Engineer (Hybrid) with Security Clearance
Job Description 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. You don't see it, but it's there. Our employees work on the world's most advanced electronics - from saving emissions in the City of Lights to powering the Mars Rover to protecting the F35 fighter jet.

At Electronic Systems, you'll be among the brightest minds, working on the aerospace and defense industry's most difficult problems. Drawing strength from our differences, we're innovating for the future. And you can, too. Our flexible work environment provides you a chance to change the world without giving up your personal life. We put our customers first - exemplified by our missions: "We Protect Those Who Protect Us®" and "We Innovate For Those Who Move The World

TM." Sound like a team you want to be a part of? Come build your career with BAE Systems In Navigation and Sensor Systems, we design and manufacture state-of-the-art systems and technology that enable our customers to execute their precision navigation missions. The Navigation & Sensor Systems (N&SS) organization is expanding to deliver the next generation of advanced military navigation solutions.

Our work powers everything from threat detection systems for F35 pilots to night vision equipment for ground forces, spanning air, land, sea, and space. We thrive on diverse perspectives, bold ideas, and a shared commitment to "We Protect Those Who Protect Us®." Pilots fly the aircraft; our navigation systems chart the course and keep them on track. As an RF Design Engineer, you will contribute to the design and development of high-performance RF hardware that supports precision navigation across defense platforms.

You will work closely with senior engineers and design teams to develop RF subsystems and have opportunities to take ownership of specific aspects of RF subsystem design and delivery. If you are interested in being an RF professional to support the development of mission critical navigation technology and make a tangible difference for the men and women who defend our nation, we want to hear from you.

Plant your flag at our Cedar Rapids location and help shape the future of advanced military navigation.
