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.
