Northrop Grumman Aeronautics Systems is seeking a Sr. Principal Systems Engineer in Systems Integration supporting the Advanced Hawkeye program’s architecture in Melbourne, FL.

The Systems Integration team is a core part of System Engineering and spans the technical baseline and program aspects in multiple Advanced Hawkeye programs. The team works with other system, software, test and quality teams to coordinate and integrate the development process and engineering efforts on new capability programs. System Engineering drives digital transformation to engineering practices within the enterprise.

The Integration process provides a framework to systematically integrate, assemble and verify lower-level system elements into successively higher-level system elements, until the system itself is realized in its entirety. It includes planning, orderly build-up tasks, and activities required to ensure that the Configuration Items comprising the system solution function as a whole. The resulting product configuration baseline supports system verification and any other required system level testing.

Early interface development and management is critical to the success of the Integration process. Interface control specifications, interface control documents or interface design descriptions support Interface Management by verifying that the interfaces developed are accurate, effective and configuration controlled. The end result is a systematic buildup of the product baseline under configuration control, managed and authorized for final formal verification activities by the technical community toward completion of the assigned scope.

• Develop an integration plan consistent with the program’s Integrated Master Schedule.
• Oversee integration activities in accordance with their approved integration plan.
• Monitor the development and delivery schedules for the components to be integrated.
• Peer review test procedures to ensure that the resulting procedures adequately meet the needs of the verification plan and cover the stated requirements set.
• Ensure test procedures are linked to the associated integration plans and the requirements they are intended to verify.
• Review test results to identify issues that must be addressed regarding integration verification failures.
• Ensure integration failures and discrepancies have been recorded and reviewed by the appropriate technical review board.
• Support periodic Interface Control Working Groups (ICWG).
• Manage and document hardware and software configurations.

• Bachelor of Science degree in a STEM discipline with 8 years of experience, Master of Science degree in a STEM discipline with 6 years of experience, or a Ph.D. in a STEM discipline with 4 years of experience.
• Must have an active DoD Secret clearance or higher (with a background investigation completed within the last 6 years or currently enrolled into Continuous Evaluation).
• Must have the ability to obtain and maintain Special Access Program (SAP) clearance.
• Must have experience with the integration of aircraft systems in either development or production environments.
• Experience with aircraft development or other major platforms (ex: spacecraft, radar).
