Come build your career with BAE Systems. BAE Systems is looking for a Material Engineer with a passion for engineering and the desire to be part of an innovative, dedicated team responsible for industry-leading Global Positioning Systems (GPS) products. Our team needs someone interested in hands-on experience working in a Material and Component Evaluation lab.

This position offers abundant opportunity to acquire in-depth knowledge of materials used in electronic assemblies, techniques used for failure analysis and work in a team environment. Assignments may include tasks such as obtaining dimensional measurements of parts, XRF analysis, FTIR Analysis, cross-sectioning, testing material properties, failure analysis of electronic parts or assemblies and evaluating new processes. The successful applicant should be knowledgeable of lab practices and basic lab equipment.

Because of the need for consistent, in-person collaboration and/or the requirement to perform all work onsite due to the nature of this particular role, it will be performed full-time on site.

In this position, you will participate in BAE Systems' nationwide LEAP Internship & Co-op Program, where you will Learn, Engage, Apply, and Progress within the company. 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.
