BAE Systems
Hill Air Force Base UT US
Job Description BAE Systems is seeking an experienced team leader for an exciting opportunity to support the Air Force's acquisition of the next generation Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) weapon system, known as the Sentinel ICBM Program. The Sentinel Program (formerly known as GBSD) is an enormous and complex Mega-Project replacing 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 more than five hundred 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 next 4-5 decades. This 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. Job Description: This position will directly support the Sentinel Program's Command & Launch (C&L) Division as they acquire the weapon system command & control capabilities for the next generation ICBM.

* ICBM targeting (i.e., system processing of strategic aim points) * Nuclear command, control & communications (NC3) systems (i.e., national communications systems used for receiving Presidential nuclear orders)
* ICBM command pathways (i.e., hardline & RF networks for voice & data command transmission and reception)
* Airborne launch control capabilities (i.e., secondary launch capability on board a US Navy E-6B 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.)
* Physical security systems (e.g., motion sensors, visual sensors, delay features, etc.)Specifically, this C&L team leader will be responsible for effectively managing a team of engineers, project managers, and logisticians who directly support the Air Force customer in evaluating the Sentinel prime contractor's secondary launch capability design and managing the integration of that design onto the U.S. Navy's E-6B Mercury aircraft.
