Northrop Grumman Mission Systems has an opening for Principal / Senior Principal Radar Systems Engineers to join our Airborne Multifunction Systems (AMS) Systems Engineering, Integration and Test (SEIT) team at our Linthicum, MD campus to fill roles on multiple major development programs. These include sensors for current and next generation air, land, and sea platforms: including Joint Strike Fighter, F-22, F-16, G/ATOR (Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar), unmanned programs, and other restricted programs and missions.

We offer the opportunity to join a team to solve problems in the field and drive new solutions into next generation Radar and Multi-Function systems across a wide variety of platforms and environments.

Qualified candidates will apply strong systems engineering knowledge and will have the opportunity to work on multiple tasks including but not limited to: System Architecture/Concept Development, Candidate Technology Trade Studies, Requirements Development and Derivation, Algorithm Development, Performance Analysis, Data Analysis, and work with cross-disciplinary hardware, software, and firmware teams. We encourage our engineers to be innovative with solving problems and identifying improvements.

*This position requires up to 100% on-site work due to security constraints and an ability to pass an enhanced security review.

Roles & Responsibilities:

This position is primarily engaged in the development and fielding of Air-to-Air, Air-to-Ground, and Ground-to-Air Radar systems for advanced dedicated and multi-function RF subsystems.

Early in the system lifecycle, systems engineers develop parametric representations, visualizations and data driven analysis to support sensor requirements definition and use case validation. Progressing past analysis and design, Northrop Grumman Systems Engineers also support the integration of sensor modes and trackers from digital simulation environments to sensor labs to our on-site fleet of specially modified test aircraft. Throughout this process, our AMS Systems Engineers engage with our customers to balance their functional and performance requirements with other sensor functionality to enable true multi-function operation.
