Yes, 10% of the Time 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.

Please note that this opportunity is contingent on program funding. Start dates are determined after funding confirmation. Northrop Grumman Aeronautics Systems has an opening for a Staff Engineer Systems - Mission Effectiveness/Operations Analysis to join our team of qualified, diverse individuals within our Systems Engineering organization. This role is located in Melbourne, FL. In this role, you will support the Systems Engineering Integration (SEI) Integrated Product Team (IPT).

Key Responsibilities:

* Perform modeling, simulation, and analysis to support program development, execution, and related research and development projects

* Develop mission relevant scenarios; assesses operational effectiveness of existing and/or emerging systems and capabilities in representative operational environments

* Develop new and/or integrates existing system simulation frameworks, weapon systems components to include air vehicle platform, kinematics, sensors, communications, command & control, weapons, and threat performance models and algorithms.

* Analyze and test next generation tactical assets within an advanced threat environment

* Develop software to simulate real-time operations and behavior of systems for virtual simulation (man in the loop) testing so that future tactical aircraft can be evaluated in next generation air warfare mission environments.

* Model operational environments and perform trade studies via computer simulation resulting in recommendations for alternative system architectures and configurations

* Support the design and development of visualization models and databases for integration with a high fidelity simulation environment used for strategic simulation and training

* Support evaluations to determine the best frameworks, hardware, capabilities, and tools available to create simulations and experiences that enhance the Virtual Simulation product

* Ensure performance capabilities of new systems and architectures are traded against cost and mission requirements

* Communicate across the engineering disciplines and technology areas to integrate capabilities

* Work independently or in team settings, according to project needs

* Operate in an agile team environment

* Interpret modeling and simulation results, develop algorithms and communicate their significance and relevancy in a clear, detailed manner. We offer flexible work arrangements, 9/80 work schedule with every other Friday off, phenomenal learning opportunities, exposure to a wide variety of projects and customers, and a very friendly team environment. We are looking for self-motivated, proactive, and goal-oriented people to help us grow our services and become even better at what we do.
