About The Position

Northrop Grumman Aeronautics Systems has an opening for a Modeling and Simulation Engineering Manager 2 (Modeling and Simulation Manager) to join our diverse team of professionals. This leadership position will be full time in the office and located in San Diego, CA. This role will support the Product Support EI&E (Engineering Integration and Execution) and lead the Modeling and Simulation team and SOW (Statement of Work) execution. This role will be responsible for, the direct supervision/management of the staff, providing objective-oriented direction to subordinates utilizing mgmt guidelines & general policies, coordinating the priorities between multiple OU (Operating Units), ensuring high quality engineering analyses, talent development and management, driving continuous improvement initiatives, and planning and program performance addressing cost, schedule, technical performance, and quality of all work packages. The Modeling and Simulation team is responsible for applying technical expertise to develop new/or integrate existing system simulation frameworks, performance models and algorithms. Having a Complete understanding of modeling and simulation best practices and techniques with an emphasis on developing mathematical models, both deterministic and stochastic. This role will lead the Modeling and Simulation team through all Program responsibilities, including: simulating operations and developing models that simulate system behavior, modeling operational environments, performing trade studies via simulation, and recommending alternative architectures developing and integrating mission‑concept development, Level of Repair Analysis (LORA), spares sensitivity, Operations and Support (O&S) cost analyses/ROI, and model‑based systems engineering developing and adapting existing models, methods, and simulations to support the design, development, and sustainment of system‑design concepts and technologies communicating with internal and external customers with minimal supervision practical experience and interpretation of modeling and simulation results, algorithms, and formulas, and the ability to communicate their significance and relevance in a clear, detailed manner Our Leaders at Northrop Grumman live our values daily and encourage our teams to do the same. We do the right thing: upholding the highest ethical standards and facilitating a safe and respectful environment that attracts, retains, and inspires a diverse and engaged team.
