About The Position

Northrop Grumman Space Systems—Missile Defense Integration offers an excellent opportunity for a Sr. Principal Engineer, System Safety (26-372), to join our team of skilled and diverse professionals. Based in Colorado Springs, CO, or Huntsville, AL, this role is essential to supporting the U.S. President, the Secretary of Defense, and combatant commanders at the strategic, regional, and operational levels. This position does not provide relocation assistance and requires on-site work with no remote options. The Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) program is a key component of the Missile Defense System. It is a vital operational system that enables the U.S. president, the Secretary of Defense, and combatant commanders at strategic, regional, and operational levels to plan ballistic missile defense operations systematically, collectively monitor the battle, and dynamically control networked sensors and weapon systems to achieve global and regional mission goals. C2BMC supports layered missile defense capabilities that enable an optimized response to threats across all ranges and flight phases. It serves as a force multiplier by networking, integrating, and synchronizing autonomous sensor and weapon systems and operations, both globally and regionally, to improve performance. C2BMC is essential for all ground and flight tests that verify and demonstrate the current and future capabilities of missile defense systems. System Safety engineering and the development of program safety plans will guide the engineering team in applying safety policies and providing necessary guidance. The individual will also assist MDA and other program staff by executing additional system engineering tasks as required. The successful candidate will collaborate with team members and National Team management to ensure timely delivery of high-quality products within the specified resources.
