About The Position

Northrop Grumman is hiring a Staff Engineer Electromechanical based in Linthicum, Maryland. This role is 100% on-site and supports the AESA Subsystem & Product Leadership department’s Installed Performance section. The section’s work spans computational electromagnetics, RF antenna modeling in installed environments, subsystem design and analysis, specialized mechanical design and analysis, and material evaluation. Engineering activities support full-life-cycle programs, including system and hardware design, integration, build, and test. The engineer will contribute to installed-performance design, prototyping, testing, and production support for advanced systems. The work involves specialized knowledge related to free-form modeling, surface analysis, materials, tooling, test fixtures and equipment, and manufacturing processes. The role collaborates with a cross-functional Integrated Product Team and adjacent disciplines, organizes work to meet project milestones within schedule and budget constraints, engages suppliers in development and risk-reduction activities, and provides technical leadership and mentoring. The position requires transfer of an active DoD Secret Clearance and the ability to obtain Special Program Access (SAP) before starting. Travel is 10% of the time. Relocation assistance may be available.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field and 12 years of experience, or a master’s degree in one of these fields and 10 years of experience.
U.S. citizenship.
Current and active DoD Secret Clearance, transferable for the position, and ability to obtain Special Program Access (SAP) before starting.
Knowledge of mechanical design for complex electromechanical systems.
