DIVISION OVERVIEW: CAPABILITIES

At BAE Systems Digital Intelligence, we pride ourselves in being a leader in the cyber defence industry, and Capabilities is the engine that keeps the business moving forward. It is the largest area of Digital Intelligence, containing our Engineering, Consulting and Project Management teams that design and implement the defence solutions and digital transformation projects that make us a globally recognised brand in both the public and private sector.
As a member of the Capabilities team, you will be creating and managing the solutions that earn us our place in an ever changing digital world. We all have a role to play in defending our clients, and this is yours.

As a Graduate Software Engineer, we expect you to be ready to tackle (and enjoy!) programming tasks from the outset, but we will take the time to mentor you through smaller packages of work and enhancements to our product range. You will work primarily in Java, however we always look for the best framework for the job; some of our developments use C# .NET, C++ and HTML5 technologies.

Day to day tasks could include:

• Assisting in the design, test and implementation of software which forms part of a properly engineered system
• Overcoming development obstacles to deliver quality code on time
• Helping to specify user/system interfaces
• Assisting in producing detailed designs and documents using required standards, methods and tools
• Understanding and translating business design into a logical design, for a simple software application
• Producing physical designs that describe the required structure and behaviour of a simple software application characterised by low-risk non-functional requirements
