About The Position

Northrop Grumman Defense is hiring a Systems Engineer (level 2) or Principal Systems Engineer (level 3) to support a Futures Program within the Command Systems Business Unit, Strategic Deterrent Systems division, for the Sentinel Program. The position is based in Roy, Utah, or Huntsville, Alabama. The program supports the Air Force’s sustainment, development, production, and deployment of hardware and system modifications for ICBM ground and airborne launch control systems, launch facilities, and associated infrastructure. The role applies model-based systems engineering practices and tools to the design of a complex command-and-control system. It provides systems engineering support for design, integration, testing, and demonstrations, and contributes to requirements development, verification analysis, architecture development, and related program engineering activities. The work includes collaboration with program IPT counterparts, technical teams, and stakeholders to develop and mature system architecture and engineering artifacts. The position requires an active, current, in-scope U.S. Government DoD Top Secret clearance at application, and the ability to obtain and maintain SAP approval. Travel is 10% of the time. The standard schedule is 9/80, with nine-hour days Monday through Thursday and every other Friday off. Relocation assistance is listed as unavailable in the posting header, although a later section says it may be available for the selected candidate.
