Northrop Grumman, Chandler Arizona is looking for a Electrical Engineering Systems Architect - 6 to join our team.

The Glide Phase Interceptor (GPI) team has opportunities for motivated electrical engineers to join our growing team.

GPI is a new development product offering exciting opportunities and unique problem-solving challenges.

Team members work in multi-discipline integrated product teams (IPTs) on a variety of electrical subsystems and components on the interceptor. As part of the GPI team, you will contribute to the development of a new capability to the war fighter.

The Chandler group performs cradle-to-grave engineering on the majority of their launch vehicles. They are working on approximately 15 separate vehicles at any given time, among them are GPI, Antares, Minotaur, Pegasus, GMD, Sentinel, and many more.

Their products serve a variety of purposes including ISS (International Space Station) cargo resupply, deploying defense satellites, developing missile interceptor technology, and providing much needed target vehicles to better hone our military capability.

This means you can be part of the design, operations planning, ground support development, analysis, testing, integration, launch operations and more. There is plenty to do and learn that will reinforce your existing skillsets while also helping you learn what it takes to get a rocket to lift off and achieve orbit.

Our department has a good variety of sub-groups to choose from where you can roll up your sleeves to become an industry expert or opt to pursue a more well-rounded approach while learning a little about everything.

Job Duties Based on specific objectives, write requirements, assist with system architecture, perform analysis, design, and/or test of complex designs.

Lead development, coordination, and execution of test programs required to evaluate the design.

Oversee component supplier design, analysis, manufacture, and test.

Lead troubleshooting efforts and comprehensive failure investigations.

Mentor other engineers from a technical standpoint as well as perform senior peer review.

Collaborate early and often with other IPTs, engineering disciplines, and operations/manufacturing groups.

Job Responsibilities Broad understanding and application of industry and company electrical engineering technical standards.

Understanding of system integration into existing government launch systems.

Broad technical expertise and working knowledge of other related disciplines.

Prepares and presents electrical engineering materials for Requirements and Design Reviews.

Perform testing to characterize off-nominal behavior of components.

Design and analyze digital communication interfaces (e.g., RS-422, Gigabit Ethernet), including bandwidth and latency considerations

Develop and integrate FPGA and system-on-chip (SoC) solutions within complex embedded systems

Oversee guidance section electronics and infrared (IR) seeker hardware/software integration and performance assessments
