Northrop Grumman Aeronautics Systems is seeking a Senior Principal Engineer specializing in Nuclear Resilience (NH&S) to join our team of skilled and diverse professionals. The position will be based in Melbourne, Florida.

The NH&S Engineer will play a pivotal role in supporting design and mitigation strategies aimed at developing and deploying a resilient weapon system with operational requirements addressing various nuclear threat scenarios: Electromagnetic Pulse, Ionizing Radiation, Thermal Radiation, Air-Blast, and Radiological exposure.

The selected candidate will be a key contributor throughout the Engineering & Manufacturing Design and Production & Deployment phases of the program, providing specialized expertise in the following areas:

• Development of comprehensive nuclear hardness system-level designs, including system-level analysis and testing to support the acquisition lifecycle.
• Creation of weapon system design criteria backed by design analysis, modeling & simulation, equipment and system-level trade studies, system integration, and testing documentation.
• Formulation of system-level NH&S Design Analysis Reports (DAR) and nuclear hardness system test plans and reports to document equipment compliance and weapon system certification.

• Preparation and presentation of Nuclear Resilience engineering artifacts to support requirements compliance and weapon system performance traceability during Design Reviews.

• Lead and conduct analysis and/or evaluation/validation of components, equipment, subsystems, or weapon system analytical models and actual system implementations for compliance with operationally relevant nuclear threat environments.

Domain Specific Responsibilities/Technical Skills
• Proficient understanding of nuclear weapon effects and the resulting Transient Radiation Effects on Electronics (TREE) for DoD and commercial systems.
• Technical planning, specification requirements derivation, testing and analysis, design, planning and execution, documentation, and validation supporting overall system compliance.

• Experience in electrical circuit radiation-hardened design, including piece-part screening, analysis, modeling, and testing of components and systems for radiation environment compliance, such as prompt dose rate, total ionizing dose, neutron displacement damage, neutron-induced upset, and single event effects.
• Familiarity with electrical circuit and/or system-level design and testing.

• Knowledge of Circumvention & Recovery techniques for component, circuit, and equipment subsystems compliance, as well as weapon system-level probabilistic performance assessments during pre/trans and post-nuclear weapon environment exposure.

• Evaluate uncertainties and risks associated with radiation-hardened requirements and design mitigation strategies.
• Experience collaborating with other Federal agencies, industry partners, National and/or Service Laboratories & Test facilities.
• Represent Northrop Grumman Corporation as a technical authority for the Program and with DoD clients.
• Willingness to travel 20% is required.
Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science degree in a Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) discipline with 9 years of experience OR a Master of Science degree in a STEM discipline with 7 years of experience OR a Doctorate in a STEM discipline with 4 years of experience.

• Must possess a DoD Secret clearance to apply, with the ability to obtain and maintain an interim Top Secret clearance prior to starting, as determined by business needs.
• Must have the capability to obtain and maintain Special Access Program (SAP) clearance.
• Experience in the specified NH&S domain.

Preferred Qualifications:
• Experience in Nuclear Command, Control & Communication weapon system survivability design.
• Analytical experience with radiation environments, including both man-made and natural space environments.
• Analytical experience in Reliability, Availability, Maintainability & Testability (RAMT), including probabilistic risk assessment related to semiconductor TREE susceptibilities.
• Familiarity with the following standards and handbooks: DODI, MIL-STD-1766, AFWL-TR-86-26, MIL-STD-464, MIL-STD-3023, MIL-STD-2169, MIL-STD-461, DO-160, MIL-B-5087, DNA-2048H-1, MIL-STD-883, MIL-STD-750, JEDEC JESD89, MIL-HDBK-814, MIL-HDBK-815, MIL-HDBK-816, MIL-HDBK-817, MIL-HDBK-279, MIL-HDBK-280, IEC /-5, SAE AIR6219, MIL-STD-3054.
• Familiarity with engineering software/tools such as COMSOL, ANSYS, CST, FEKO, Cadence/Spice, Mathworks MATLAB, PTC MathCad, Wolfram Mathematica, NX, Siemens Teamcenter, Visio.
