In this role, you will develop the digital blueprints that the U.S. Government uses to understand modern engagement environments and shape the strategic priorities of tomorrow. You will operate at the intersection of systems engineering and software development, leveraging AFSIM, C++, and Python to build high-fidelity models that provide critical data for strategic planning and policy. This is an opportunity for a digital engineer who thrives on translating complex mission requirements into scalable, cloud-native software artifacts. You will be a key contributor to "Digital Engineering Excellence," ensuring that our models are accurate, validated, and integrated into a modern, automated lifecycle. The Engineering, Science and Analysis (ESA) Strategic Capabilities Unit comprises the technical talent and organizational leadership that enables the successful delivery of high-impact discriminating technologies for our customers’ missions. Our collaborative, cross-functional teams are committed to innovation, integrity, continual learning and strong execution. **What You’ll Do:**   - Advanced Modeling & Simulation: * Systems of Systems Design: Define and capture the requirements, design, and employment of complex remote sensing systems, ensuring they are optimized for future engagement environments. * High-Fidelity Development: Write and optimize models and analysis tools using C++ and Python within Linux and Windows environments, primarily leveraging AFSIM. * Digital Thread Integration: Execute the integration of MBSE (Model-Based Systems Engineering) tools into the model lifecycle, ensuring seamless interaction between external system models and internal designs. - Cloud-Native Engineering & DevOps: * CI/CD Deployment: Develop and deploy software artifacts to secure cloud environments using established CI/CD pipelines, supporting a cloud-native operational model. * Tooling & Automation: Create custom analysis tools and testing frameworks that increase the velocity and accuracy of the software development cycle. - Strategic Transformation & Execution: * Operational Evolution: Analyze current ("As-Is") workflows and design the transition to optimized ("To-Be") states, providing the technical roadmap for system modernization. * Process Innovation: Develop standard, repeatable processes for the development and integration of remote sensing models to ensure scalability across multiple projects. * Technical Expertise: Serve as a primary point of contact for digital engineering, providing the technical strategies that connect projects and customer needs. - 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. - Perform other duties as necessary.   **On-Site Work Environment:** This position requires regular in-person engagement by working **on-site five days** each normally scheduled week in the primary work location. Travel and local commute between company campuses and other possible non-company locations may be required. **Working Conditions:**   - Work is performed in an office, laboratory, production floor, or cleanroom, outdoors or remote research environment. - May occasionally work in production work centers where use of protective equipment and gear is required. - May access other facilities in various weather conditions. ## Skills - Cloud Computing - DevOps - Machine Learning Lifecycle Management - Cloud-Native Computing - Remote Sensing - Systems Engineering - Remote Sensing Techniques - Software Deployment - Python - Technology Roadmap - Automation - Agile Velocity - Digital Engineering - Software Development - Model Based Systems Engineering - Scalability - CI/CD - Strategic Planning - Site Work - C++ - Simulations - Systems of Systems Engineering - Linux - Communication - Digital Thread - Personal Protective Equipment ## Related - [More jobs at BAE Systems](https://www.foundrole.com/companies/bae-systems?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Engineering jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/careers/engineering?utm_source=ai_markdown)- [Systems Engineering jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/careers/engineering/systems-engineering?utm_source=ai_markdown)- [Systems Engineer jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/careers/engineering/systems-engineering/systems-engineer?utm_source=ai_markdown)- [Browse all companies](https://www.foundrole.com/companies?utm_source=ai_markdown) ## Explore this job market - [Ohio](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us/ohio?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 97634 jobs - [Defense and Space](https://www.foundrole.com/sectors/aerospace-and-defense/defense-and-space?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 61988 jobs - [BAE Systems](https://www.foundrole.com/companies/bae-systems?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 2632 jobs ## Related pages - [Ohio](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us/ohio?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 97634 jobs - [Defense and Space](https://www.foundrole.com/sectors/aerospace-and-defense/defense-and-space?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 61988 jobs - [BAE Systems](https://www.foundrole.com/companies/bae-systems?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 2632 jobs ## Browse - [Companies](https://www.foundrole.com/companies?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Jobs by country](https://www.foundrole.com/locations?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Jobs in the United States by state and city](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [H1B sponsors by location](https://www.foundrole.com/h1b-sponsors?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [H1B salaries](https://www.foundrole.com/h1b-salaries?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Sectors and industries](https://www.foundrole.com/sectors?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Jobs by career field](https://www.foundrole.com/careers?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Latest jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/jobs/latest?utm_source=ai_markdown)
