Systems Engineer - Radar Architect – Level 3 or Level 4 (AHT)
About The Position
Northrop Grumman's Space Sector is seeking a Systems Engineer - Radar Architect – Level 3 or Level 4 to join their team in Colorado Springs, CO. In this role, the engineer will support the development and integration of radar subsystems and components to meet platform mission objectives. This includes requirements development, analysis, maturation, and implementation, translating customer requirements into hardware and software specifications. The engineer will also perform functional and performance analyses of Technical Performance Measurements (TPMs) and Key Performance Parameters (KPPs), and maintain budgets for key radar performance metrics. Development of mathematical algorithms for mode/sensor implementation and support for software development to model system behavior in simulations are also key responsibilities. The role involves soliciting input from stakeholders, synthesizing data, and communicating results to leadership. Mission engineering activities will ensure continuity between operational capabilities and system performance through the Systems Engineering “V”. This includes trading performance capabilities against cost and mission requirements, and assessing the operational effectiveness of systems in representative environments. The engineer will also guide the team through development/implementation activities. This position is contingent upon program award, funding, and the candidate obtaining and maintaining the required security clearance (Secret, with the ability to obtain SCI) and program access. This position can be filled at either a Level 3 or Level 4.
Requirements
- Requires an active U.S. Government Secret security clearance at time of application, current and within scope, with the ability to obtain and maintain SCI approval/access
- Expertise with code prototyping (MATLAB, Python, or related languages)
- Experience working through the Systems Engineering lifecycle process for system development
- Experience with Signals Processing
- Experience with Radar Systems
Nice To Haves
- Experience with applied Radar Range Equation and Swerling Models for operational performance analysis
- Experience with MS Office tool suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Project)
- Strong problem-solving skills and a demonstrated ability to project plan and execute
- Demonstrated independent planning, organization, and working in cross-functional teams with a customer focus
- Familiarity with MBSE Modeling (Cameo Enterprise Architecture)
- Familiarity in Agile methodology (Kanban, Scrum, etc.)
- Experience with Atlassian tool suite (Jira, Confluence)
- Experience with SharePoint
- Experience with Electronics systems performance analysis, test or integration
- An understanding of the physical limitations to implementing complex algorithms in real hardware
