Description

At Northrop Grumman, our employees have incredible opportunities to work on revolutionary systems that impact people's lives around the world today, and for generations to come. Our pioneering and inventive spirit has enabled us to be at the forefront of many technological advancements in our nation's history - from the first flight across the Atlantic Ocean, to stealth bombers, to landing on the moon.

We look for people who have bold new ideas, courage and a pioneering spirit to join forces to invent the future, and have fun along the way. Our culture thrives on intellectual curiosity, cognitive diversity and bringing your whole self to work - and we have an insatiable drive to do what others think is impossible. Our employees are not only part of history, they're making history.

We are looking for a Principal / Senior Principal Mission Engineering Systems Engineer to join our team in Baltimore, MD. This position requires 100% on-site work.

What You Will Get to Do:

As an integral part of the Modeling, Simulation and Analysis Section, you will apply MS&A techniques with a focus on Mission Engineering while accelerating the delivery of capabilities to our customers through either mission studies, system-of-system trades or performance analysis using credible modeling, simulation, experimentation, and analysis processes to assess system architectures that best deliver the effects, data, and capabilities demanded by tomorrow's missions.

* Perform analysis-of-alternatives and mission architecture trades across offensive and defensive orders of battle, formations, and equipment including laydowns, platforms, and loadouts of sensors, effectors, and weapons as well as communications, command, and control segments among combatants and the impacts of the tactics and strategies used.

* Utilize Modeling, Simulation, Experimentation, and Analysis (MSE&A) frameworks to evaluate Concepts of Employments (CONEMPS), Concepts of Operations (CONOPS), and Design Reference Missions (DRM) to affect system design and optimization.

* Assess capabilities by linking system requirements to mission threads, proving operative interfaces and their connections that enable mission execution, verification/validation planning of system elements performing missions, and system integration functions during development.

* Plan demonstration and delivery of mission effects, data, or capabilities during operations and provide long-term sustainment and mission augmentation support over the life of systems.

* Develop large scale data analytics, probabilities, and statistics, including the application of design of experiment techniques for the evaluation of system and mission performance.

* Innovate to solve problems and identify improvements across MSE&A products

* Performs operational analysis and mission effectiveness analysis activities.

* Develops new and/or integrates existing system simulation frameworks, performance models and algorithms, threat models and command and control models.

* Model operational environments, performs trade studies via computer simulation and recommends alternative architectures.

* Develops, integrates, and uses advanced graphical user interfaces and visualization tools.
