Surety Technical Lead

Job Description BAE Systems has supported the Strategic Systems Program (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 as 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 the COLUMBIA platform, 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 truly unique program and BAE Systems employees on this program understand they are part of an important legacy.

We have an exciting opportunity with an immediate need for a Systems Safety Engineer with experience in Nuclear Safety and Surety and the evaluation of multidiscipline technical programs, collaborating across multiple design, and customer entities. This key role is for our Systems Integration and Engineering Support Services contract, supporting the D5 TRIDENT Strategic Weapon System for the SSP Office Safety Programs.

This role will require the individual to work independently and in a team environment, provide sound and strategic advice to the customer, and guidance to a section of systems safety engineers on safety program execution.

The successful candidate will be able to:

* Provide an adept at understanding system level safety engineering philosophies and schedules and can plan and direct the technical execution of weapon system safety functions.

* Synthesize information for alternative safety strategies for current and future platforms and weapon systems, and work with a section of engineers to formulate and implement safety strategies.

* Apply their understanding of Nuclear Surety to ensure compliance with the four DoD Nuclear Weapon Surety Standards and assist with interpreting how to comply with any current or future changes to the Surety Standards.

* Prepare for and present at design reviews, perform safety requirements analysis, provide safety assessments, and develop an understanding of the associated system level design safety requirements.

* Identify risks to the program, perform risk assessment, develop risk mitigations, and have the judgement to know when to elevate risks.
