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, but they’re also making it.

Northrop Grumman Aeronautics Systems has an opening for a Systems Engineer or a Principal Systems Engineer in Electromagnetic Environment Effects (EEE) to join our Systems Engineering Team. This position is located on‑site in Palmdale, CA, and Melbourne, FL.

The role performs technical planning, system integration, verification and validation, cost and risk analysis, and supportability and effectiveness analysis for total systems. Analyses are performed at all levels of the total system product to include concept, design, fabrication, test, installation, operation, maintenance and disposal. The engineer ensures logical and systematic conversion of customer or product requirements into total system solutions that acknowledge technical, schedule, and cost constraints.

Functional analysis, timeline analysis, detail trade studies, requirements allocation and interface definition studies translate customer requirements into hardware and software specifications.
