Job Description See what you’re missing. Our employees work on the world’s most advanced electronics – from detecting threats for F-35 pilots to illuminating the night for soldiers. Spanning air, land, sea, and space, we are developing the technology of tomorrow, delivered today. Drawing strength from our differences, we’re innovating for the future. And you can, too.

Our flexible work environment provides you a chance to change the world without giving up your personal life. We put our customers first – exemplified by our mission: “We Protect Those Who Protect Us®.” Sound like a team you want to be a part of? Come build your career with BAE Systems.

In Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) Systems, you’ll help develop systems that sense, control, exploit and disseminate actionable information to warfighters supporting a variety of missions.

The Customer Technical Solutions (CTS) team at Advanced GEOINT Systems (AGS) provides on-site installation, configuration, support, and training for the various Geospatial eXploitation Products (GXP®) Platform, desktop, and mobile products in environments ranging from traditional desktop to cloud-based implementations. Customer interactions are documented in Salesforce (Customer Relationship Management). Other duties will require troubleshooting customer issues and requests via e-mail, phone, and on-site customer visits. Software deficiency and enhancement requests are documented in Azure DevOps. Candidate will be required to conduct software demonstrations at trade shows, conferences, and customer sites, so strong presentation and public speaking skills are needed. Assist with training material development and other sales, marketing, testing, and customer support activities as required. Work with members of our software team, product managers, and customers to develop, integrate, and configure the different GXP® applications.

As a CTS representative, candidates will need to be self-motivated and self-sufficient in a fast-paced, customer-facing environment where you will often be GXP’s first impression for both users and leadership. GXP is seeking to expand our footprint from traditional DVD-installed software to an enterprise-level design built around microservices and containerization technologies such as Kubernetes, Docker, Rancher, Terraform, Packer, and MinIO. In this distinct role, you will implement custom installations and provide technical support for GXP products at customer sites. The ideal candidate for this position will have experience with desktop and server operating systems, hypervisors, Linux admin, as well as cloud-based platforms, applications, and services. Experience in Amazon Web Services and other cloud providers is desired as well as experience installing required SSL certificates, configuration options for networking, and user authentication. This role will work very closely with GXP engineers in helping develop documentation and training processes for these new implementations. This role will also be involved with the upkeep and modernization of GXP's largest enterprise deployment.

About GXP - The Geospatial eXploitation Products (GXP®) business provides licensed software capabilities and geospatial technology R&D. GXP’s ability to draw on internal data production and technology expertise has allowed it to deliver superior products to the user community. GXP often finds ways to improve software implementation through user conferences and regional workshops, where important feedback and insight is gathered from customers. GXP commercial software, GXP Xplorer, GXP WebView, GXP Fusion, SOCET GXP, GXP InMotion, and SOCET SET provide customers with comprehensive image and video analysis, data management and geospatial production capabilities, and state-of-the-art sensor-data processing and analytics technologies, providing compact and scalable solutions to challenging problems in areas of video analytics, sensor data processing, computer vision, and machine learning. These products serve government and civil customers’ needs for photogrammetry, mapping, GIS, image exploitation, precision targeting, GEOINT (geospatial intelligence), MOVINT (movement intelligence), 3-D visualization, simulation, and mission planning.

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. This means work will be conducted on location at a BAE Systems facility 100% of the time.
