Job Description

At BAE Systems, our Electronic Combat Solutions business meets the needs of our customers through the entire lifecycle of our Electronic Warfare (EW) products. From design and development, to prototype and full rate production, to post-delivery software and hardware product support, we deliver EW capability and readiness spanning the platform's operational service life.
