2027 Engineer Systems - Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (EEE)

Northrop Grumman•Melbourne, FL

2d•$79,300 - $118,900•Onsite

About The Position

Northrop Grumman Aeronautics Systems is hiring a Systems Engineer specializing in Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) to join its Systems Engineering Team. The position is on-site in Melbourne, Florida, and is contingent on program funding; the start date will be determined after funding is confirmed. The role requires the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance and any required program access. Travel is 10% of the time, and relocation assistance may be available. The engineer performs technical planning, system integration, verification and validation, cost and risk analysis, and supportability and effectiveness analyses across total systems and their lifecycle. The role translates customer and product requirements into systems solutions that account for technical, schedule, and cost constraints, including through functional and timeline analyses, trade studies, requirements allocation, and interface definition. E3 responsibilities span program phases and design levels. The engineer develops and interprets E3 requirements, guidelines, models, and analyses; designs shielding, EMI filters, and interface circuitry; and prepares and reviews E3 procedures, reports, analyses, and control plans. The engineer presents E3 topics at design reviews, participates in cross-disciplinary reviews and standards-based testing, and contributes to E3 processes and organizational expertise. Experienced engineers also train and mentor less-experienced E3 engineers.

Requirements

Be completing or have completed a master's degree from an accredited institution by August 2027, or be completing or have completed a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution and have two years of engineering experience by August 2027.
Be majoring in or have majored in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math) field.
Be able to obtain and/or transfer and maintain a final U.S. adjudicated Secret government clearance and any required program access within a reasonable period, as determined by the company.
U.S. citizenship is required for positions requiring a government clearance.

Nice To Haves

Overall cumulative GPA of 3.25/4.0 or higher.
Previous internship, co-op, or other work experience; leadership and teamwork capabilities; interpersonal communication skills; and professional, community, or extracurricular activities.
Experience with defense and aerospace industry practices and programmatic skills supporting BOE, RFP, ROM, CAM, WBS, or E3 compliance risk assessments.
Extensive design experience with EMI filters, circuit layout and E3 analysis, shielding, lightning protection, or cable and harness design.
Working knowledge and experience in E3 modeling and simulation using commercially available software.
Experience with MIL-STD-464 or MIL-STD-461.
Experience in RF, test, or design engineering.

Responsibilities

Write, interpret, allocate, tailor, and flow down E3 requirements to all design levels.
Communicate complex E3 technical issues clearly to audiences unfamiliar with the subject and present E3 topics at internal and external customer design reviews.
Write E3 design guidelines, develop models, and perform EMI-principles-based analyses of components, subsystems, and systems.
Design ground systems, chassis and harness shielding, and EMI filters; select and lay out interface circuitry to achieve EMC.
Prepare and review E3 test procedures, test reports, technical analyses, and control plans.
Participate in cross-disciplinary design reviews for EMC.
Design E3 test procedures and participate in E3 testing in accordance with governmental and non-governmental standards, including MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-464, and DO-160.
Develop E3 engineering processes, procedures, documentation, and protocols.
Train and mentor less-experienced E3 engineers when experienced in the role.
Perform technical planning, system integration, verification and validation, cost and risk analysis, and supportability and effectiveness analyses.
Perform functional and timeline analyses, trade studies, requirements allocation, and interface definition studies to translate customer requirements into hardware and software specifications.
