About The Position

Our client is seeking Systems Integration & Test (SI&T) Engineers in Baltimore, MD to support test and verification activities of RF sensor systems. As the lead developer of radars, communications (COMMS), and SIGINT for some of the most advanced systems in the U.S. arsenal, Northrop Grumman Mission Systems is a world leader in advanced sensor systems design. Qualified Systems Integration, Test & Evaluation (SITE) Engineers will perform hands-on integration and testing of sophisticated RF sensor systems, including hardware and software components in development and production environments. They will synthesize internal and external customer needs and requirements into system tests while balancing technical and schedule constraints. This role involves participating in the development and execution of comprehensive test plans, procedures, and schedules for verifying system requirements, as well as participating in I&T readiness reviews, design reviews, and audits of I&T program facilities. The engineer will coordinate integrated testing activities, including environmental, reliability, and occasional flight testing, and review and evaluate test requirements to ensure completeness of the test program. Analysis of test results and preparation of comprehensive reports will be required, along with the utilization of modeling and simulation tools to accelerate testing of individual units before all system components are available and to troubleshoot and repair failed units.
