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 (one day/week).

You will help design, develop, test and document software applications to test and diagnose various aircraft capabilities and support equipment items. At BAE Systems, you will be among the brightest minds, working on the aerospace and defense industry's most difficult problems. Drawing strength from our differences, we are innovating for the future. And you can, too. Our flexible work environment provides you with a chance to change the world without giving up your personal life. We put our customers first - exemplified by our mission: "We Protect Those Who Protect Us®." Sound like a team you want to be a part of? Come build your career with BAE Systems.

BAE Systems is seeking a Software Engineer with strong software and hardware skills, at least 2-6 years of software design, code, test and hardware integration experience to join our Test and Support Systems team. The candidate will be assigned to our aircraft Diagnostics team, supporting, maintaining and upgrading an application that downloads and analyzes aircraft fault data. While software development experience is required, the candidate must also have a working knowledge of electrical components and electronics, a background working with basic electrical hardware and analysis, as well as the ability to read and interpret electrical wiring diagrams and schematics. This role requires a blend of software development and hardware analysis, with a focus on understanding electrical component circuit diagrams to diagnose and resolve aircraft failure modes. This is a hands-on technical role on a multi-disciplinary team. The candidate will be a member of a small team of developers in creating, deploying, and sustaining a test/support platform, in addition to hands-on software/hardware integration and troubleshooting. The candidate will also interface with Systems and Hardware Engineering.

The application software is developed in C/C++ and Java using commercial tools such as Microsoft Visual Studio, MATLAB, and Java Development Kit (JDK).

The ability to travel occasionally domestically and/or internationally is required to perform lab and aircraft testing.

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.
