About The Position
Northrop Grumman Defense Systems is hiring a Principal Systems Engineer or Sr. Principal Systems Engineer to support the Sentinel Program in Roy, Utah. The program supports the Air Force’s sustainment, development, production, and deployment of hardware and system modifications for Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Ground and Airborne Launch Control Systems, Launch Facilities, and associated infrastructure. The successful candidate will contribute across the systems-engineering life cycle, from use-case development through verification. Working with Integrated Product Team (IPT) counterparts, technical teams, and stakeholders, the engineer will develop systems-engineering and design artifacts and help develop and mature a Weapon System design for a large-scale program. Work includes defining, allocating, and tracing requirements; representing requirements accurately in the system model; performing functional decomposition and interface definition; and supporting verification activities. The role also includes developing system architecture in Cameo Enterprise Architecture, modeling behavioral, structural, and analytical aspects of the solution. The engineer will contribute to requirements development, management, and analysis, and help establish modeling techniques, procedures, and processes that support model development, tool integration, and team collaboration. The position requires an active U.S. Government DoD Secret clearance and Special Access Program clearance with CJ1 access. Relocation assistance may be available, and travel is 10% of the time. The standard work schedule is 9/80.
