Thank you for your interest in BAE Systems! This opening is for candidates who are interested in learning more about FAST Labs and Software Engineering opportunities during our Virtual Discovery Hour on Thursday, May 8th.

During our Discovery Hour, you will hear about FAST Labs' charter, mission, and key technology thrusts, directly engage with members of the Product Line Leadership team, and screen with Hiring Managers. Apply now to reserve your spot in the FAST Labs Discovery Hour!

These positions will be located at one of our Merrimack, New Hampshire, or Arlington, Virginia locations. If your background and skillset align with our hiring needs, we will be in touch with next steps. If selected for an interview, we will discuss specific opportunities that match your interests and skillset with the hiring team. For candidates who are not local to the Merrimack, NH or Arlington VA area, virtual interviews will be accommodated.

If you are a technologist who loves to design, write, integrate, and test cutting edge software based around challenging algorithms, platforms, and environments, this is the career opportunity for you. The FAST Labs business area is the innovative research and development engine within the Electronic Systems Sector of BAE Systems.

We value internal and external partnerships and collaborate across a broad innovation ecosystem that includes DoD/IC/OGA labs and research teams, universities, small businesses and venture firms/accelerators all in service of developing advanced technologies to enable our nation’s warfighting mission needs.
