Employee testimonials

System Technical Authority

I joined the Graduate Scheme in July 2009 as a Systems Engineer having completed a Masters degree in Aerospace Systems Engineering. I found out about BAE Systems after they sponsored my Masters project into low cost autonomous vehicles and decided to apply based on the variety of engineering projects that were available.
