Job Description
In this position, you will participate in BAE Systems' nationwide LEAP Internship & Co-op Program, where you will Learn, Engage, Apply, and Progress within the company. The LEAP Program will provide you with the opportunity to work alongside experienced professionals on impactful projects, engage in career development opportunities, and network with our business leaders and the other students in the program.
What it’s like to work here...
You won’t be spending your summer in a vacuum running theoretical models or solving textbook equations. Instead, you will be the "detective" for our historical data. You’ll dive into the archives of how we’ve priced and estimated complex tactical systems in the past to help us build a smarter, more organized future.
The Finance Strategic Capabilities Unit delivers the expertise and business acumen to increase value across the enterprise by providing actionable information with recommendations and opportunities to drive sustainable business growth.
What You’ll Do:
- Take messy, fragmented information—spreadsheets, old reports, and legacy folders—and transforms them into a structured, categorized library that our senior estimators can actually use.
- Bridge the gap between "raw data" and "business intelligence." If you enjoy the satisfaction of taking a chaotic pile of information and creating a clean, logical system where everything has its place, you will thrive in this role.
- Work closely with leadership in the Tactical Solutions business area, seeing firsthand how data directly influences the competitive bids and strategic decisions of a global defense leader.
- Maintain a regular and predictable work schedule.
- Establish and maintain effective working relationships within the department, the Strategic Business Units, Strategic Capabilities Units and the Company. Interact appropriately with others in order to maintain a positive and productive work environment.
- Perform other duties as necessary.
On-Site Work Environment:This position requires regular in-person engagement by workingon-site three or more days each normally scheduled week in the primary work location. Travel and local commute between company campuses and other possible non-company locations may be required.
Working Conditions:
- Work is performed in an office, laboratory, production floor, or cleanroom, outdoors or remote research environment.
- May occasionally work in production work centers where use of protective equipment and gear is required.
- May access other facilities in various weather conditions.
Hourly Rate: $23.25 - $30.75
Required Skills and Education
- Must have completed your sophomore or junior year and be enrolled in a degree program for the fall of 2027. We will also accept students enrolled in a graduate degree program.
- Degree must be from a university, college, or school which is accredited by an agency recognized by the US Secretary of Education, US Department of Education.
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Data Analytics, Information Systems, Business Administration, Finance, or a related field.
- Completion of college-level coursework focused on data management, database fundamentals, or business analytics.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Excel (e.g., VLOOKUPs, Pivot Tables, and data cleaning).
- A demonstrated ability to organize information logically and a keen eye for detail.
Preferred Skills and Education
- Coursework that blends technical data skills with business application (e.g., a Business Analytics minor or an Operations Management course).
- Familiarity with data visualization tools (e.g., Power BI or Tableau) or basic SQL knowledge.
- Previous experience (even in a non-technical role) where you had to categorize large amounts of information or improve a manual process.
- Ability to explainwhy a certain data structure was chosen, rather than justhow it was built.
