Technology Development Manager - Vision Aided Navigation

BAE Systems is looking for a Technology Development Manager II to Capture Business in Vision Aided Navigation. In this role, you will lead cutting-edge image and video exploitation research impacting real-world problems to keep our country safe!

Who we are:

The BAE Systems’ Video, Image, and Spectral eXploitation (VISX) directorate is a leading multidisciplinary R&D department dedicated to meeting critical U.S. military needs. VISX is the video and image processing R&D engine for all of BAE Systems North America, yet it runs more like a boutique firm. It’s the best of both worlds—combining a small-company feel, in a research laboratory setting, with access to a large company’s technology transition paths, customer base, and other resources. VISX executes a variety of scientific and engineering R&D efforts for the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Intelligence Community (IC). Join us for amazing R&D challenges and work on revolutionary video and image exploitation technology that makes a direct real-world impact.
