Together, we do amazing things. BAE Systems’ employees at Hill Air Force Base (HAFB) provide systems engineering, integration, and sustainment activities that support national security. Our employees work in partnership with the U.S. Air Force, civil service, and other defense contractors to equip our national strategic deterrent program with the latest cutting-edge technologies so it not only remains effective today, but for many years to come.

As the Integration Support Contractor, BAE Systems sustains Minuteman III Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) and transitions the 60-year legacy program’s documents into a digital engineering environment. In using model-based systems engineering (MBSE) the team modernizes the way the Air Force manages and sustains ICBMs. This transition requires unique skills, technical proficiency and above all – teamwork.

So, what inspires the team to deliver excellence every day? Hear from BAE Systems’ employees who helped make us a top workplace in Utah for the past four years. Here are their eight reasons to join our team:

1. “Because we protect those who protect us.”

Dave, Senior Program Manager, GBSD Logistics Support Lead

When I retired from Air Force active duty in 2015, I still had a strong desire to serve America and the warfighter, and continue my professional development in Life 2.0. I was blessed to find that here at BAE Systems. This amazing team drives me to be better, challenges me to learn, and provides numerous opportunities to broaden my experiences into many new (for me) areas of work. I love the cohesive teamwork, friendships, can-do attitude, and making the impossible possible that I see prevalent throughout the ICBM ISC team every single day.

2. “Being part of something bigger.”

Alyson, Security Manager

BAE Systems is an integral part of the United States’ Nuclear Enterprise and what we do here is critical to the National Defense of this country. As a prior service member, being a part of something bigger than myself, being a part of an important part of our Nation’s Security is a huge reason why I love working for this company.

3. “BAE Systems allows me to be the best version of me.”

Amy, Software Implementation Specialist

I have the opportunity to make a difference via engagement in the Women Inclusive Netowork employee resource group and mentorship programs. I have the joy to continuously improve through training opportunities, new task (work) opportunities, and the tuition reimbursement program. I am never without something to do and work with some of the most amazing people I’ve ever met.

can be at work and at home. I look forward to my future with BAE Systems and the opportunity it provides.

4. “The team camaraderie."

Brian, Systems Administrator, Senior Principal

What I love about BAE Systems and what keeps me here is hands down the team camaraderie. The team I work with has such a vast range of expertise that helps me continue to grow and learn each day. BAE Systems promotes a healthy work/life balance which enables me to be the best I can be at work and at home. I look forward to my future with BAE Systems and the opportunity it provides.

5. “Defend freedom for the world.”

Bruce, Lead Engineer MMIII Sustainment

Working on MMIII Sustainment gives me a sense of accomplishment. We at BAE Systems are a big part in defending freedom for the world. I also enjoy the engineering opportunities and helping others improve their engineering skills.

6. “The work we do at BAE Systems matters.”

Carl, Ground Mechanical Engineering Lead

The work we do at BAE Systems matters. We can leave work each day knowing that even though our individual contributions may be small, as a team we successfully assisted in keeping the MMIII weapon system a viable deterrent. The people at BAE Systems are top notch! They care about the work they do, but they also care about each other. The work environment is such that we can be professional but also have opportunities to be friendly and get to know each other.

7. “BAE is the best managed company I have worked for.”

Dr. Chris, Program Manager III

I work at BAE Systems for several reasons. I have been working DoD programs for 37 years. I can honestly say that BAE Systems is the best managed company I have worked for. I also have excellent professional flexibility as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) which allows me to enjoy working on extremely important programs of great national interest.

8. “Pride.”

Damarr, Logistics Analyst Principal

I love working at BAE Systems because I love the mission. I work on the most powerful weapon system in the world. It gives me a sense of pride knowing I am a part of that. I have always been a fan of building things. As a prior missile maintainer for the U.S. Air Force, being able to put together each stage of the missile with men I call my brother was the best experience of my life. I also get a chance to work with some of my battle buddies from active duty, a small added bonus to working for BAE Systems.
