Northrop Grumman Defense Systems is seeking a multi-skilled, self-motivated, energetic individual to work at our Colorado Springs, CO location as a Configuration Analyst/Data Management Controller supporting the JTAGS program. CM activities are key program drivers managing product configuration baselines (Functional, Allocated and Product) and releases. This position supports data management activities and will require working onsite full-time and at times in a closed-area work environment.

As a member of the JTAGS team you will plan and coordinate the preparation of project documentation, such as CDRLs, engineering drawings, work instructions, processes, and procedures.

The Joint Tactical Ground Station (JTAGS) program within Northrop Grumman Defense Systems was developed and built by Northrop Grumman for the U.S. Army but has since transitioned to the USSF. JTAGS receives and processes data directly down-linked from the Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) constellation of satellites, including Defense Support Program (DSP) and Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) sensors, and other infrared satellite sensors.

JTAGS then disseminates near-real-time warning, alerting and cueing information on ballistic missile launches and other tactical events of interest throughout the theater using multiple communications networks.
