The LEAP Program will provide you with the opportunity to work alongside experienced professionals on impactful projects, engage in career development opportunities, and network with our business leaders and the other students in the program.
At BAE Systems, Systems Engineers work to ensure the technical success of the entire system throughout the entire product lifecycle – from the conception of tomorrow’s cutting-edge technologies to proposal writing, detailed design, assembly and test, and finally launch and operations. Our SO&S teams prepare for launch, initialization, and early operations of satellites. We are a key part of the launch and commissioning team, and we support on orbit test, factory reach-back, operations, and maintenance of satellites through their mission life. 
The Systems Engineering department is looking for college undergraduates and graduate students who can accomplish various technical assignments and have the communication skills to interact with technical experts, government customers, and other commercial space companies. Our past interns have supported development of advanced star trackers, drafted NASA proposals for new missions, assessed the health and performance of on-orbit satellites, helped design next-generation spacecraft and their payloads, participated in the testing of flight
hardware, and analyzed data to verify systems meet requirements.
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 excellent execution.
