At Northrop Grumman, our employees have incredible opportunities to
work on revolutionary systems that impact people's lives around the
world today, and for generations to come. Our culture thrives on
intellectual curiosity, cognitive diversity and bringing your whole
self to work - and we have an insatiable drive to do what others
think is impossible. Northrop Grumman Mission Systems has an
opening for Principal and/or Sr. Principal Systems Engineers to
join our Airborne Multifunction Systems (AMS) Systems Engineering,
Integration and Test (SEIT) team at our Linthicum, MD campus to
fill roles on multiple major development programs. These include
radars for air dominance platforms (such as the F-22, F-35 Joint
Strike Fighter, F-16), bomber and strike programs (such as B-1B),
airborne / maritime / ground-based surveillance missions (E-3
AWACS, E-7 MESA, TPS-80 G/ATOR and UAV systems such as Global
Hawk), as well as restricted programs and missions. We offer the
opportunity to join a team to solve problems in the field and drive
new solutions into next generation radar systems and air
superiority platforms.
Qualified candidates will apply strong systems engineering
knowledge and understanding in the areas of signal processing,
performance modeling, and RF simulation working with various
systems, hardware, and software teams. This position is primarily
engaged in the development and fielding of advanced signal
processing algorithms and system performance models within the
Multifunction RF space. Key features of operation include the
design and modeling of signal processing algorithms to implement
and support a wide variety of modes, such as long-range search and
track Radar waveforms and electronic surveillance measure returns.
This also includes designing models of the RF architecture and
environment, allowing accurate determination of mode
performance.
Early in the system lifecycle, systems engineers develop parametric
representations, visualizations and data driven analysis to support
sensor requirements definition and use case validation. Progressing
past analysis and design, Northrop Grumman Systems Engineers also
support the integration of sensor modes and trackers from digital
simulation environments to sensor labs to our on-site fleet of
specially modified test aircraft. Throughout this process, our AMS
Systems Engineers engage with our customers to balance their
functional and performance requirements with other sensor
functionality to enable true multi-function operation.
