Northrop Grumman Aeronautics Systems has an opening for a Principal/ Sr. Principal Systems Engineer - Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) to join our team of qualified, diverse individuals. The position will be located in Melbourne, Florida.
Job Expectations- All programs have E3 requirements, so an E3 engineer must be capable of writing, interpreting, allocating, tailoring and flowing down E3 requirements to all design levels.
- E3 engineers interact across all phases of a program, so strong technical communication skills and the ability to explain complex technical issues to audiences unfamiliar with E3 are necessary.
- E3 engineers need to present at design reviews to internal and external customers regarding E3 issues.
- Write E3 design guidelines, develop models, and perform analyses on components, subsystems and systems using EMI principles.
- Design ground systems, chassis and harness shielding, EMI filters, and select and lay out interface circuitry for EMC.
- Prepare and review E3 test procedures, E3 test reports, E3 analyses, E3 control plans, and participate in cross-discipline design reviews for EMC.
- Design E3 test procedures and participate in E3 testing per governmental and non-governmental standards (e.g., MIL-STD 461, MIL-STD 464, DO-160).
- Mentor less experienced E3 engineers and contribute to E3 engineering capability across Northrop Grumman.
- Contribute to knowledge, processes, documentation, and protocols for E3 engineering across Sectors and Enterprises.
We offer flexible work arrangements, a 9/80 schedule with every other Friday off, learning opportunities, exposure to diverse projects and a collaborative team environment.
