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.

Northrop Grumman, Space Systems, is seeking a Systems Engineer to join our team. This position will be located at our facility in **Promontory, UT **with periodic assignments at our Magna, UT location.

Roles & Responsibilities:

Systems Engineers are responsible to work with our Chief Engineers and Program Leadership to support key program objectives. Systems Engineers actively participate in the development of new systems and system upgrades by managing architecture, requirements, verification evidence capture, and integrated change control processes in a disciplined, broad reaching model-based process to ensure our propulsion systems projects perform to their specification, satisfy customer needs, and maintain configuration integrity throughout the lifecycle of each product. Systems Engineering at Northrop Grumman Propulsion Systems are primarily model based and provide support to multiple defense and commercial contracts including the Sentinel and NASA Artemis missions.

Roles may include aspects of project engineering, proposal support, and liaison engineering which naturally build essential skills necessary for future leadership opportunities. Thus, systems engineering provides a gateway to many other leadership opportunities within Northrop Grumman.

Job Duties:

The primary responsibility of the systems engineer in this position is to support program systems engineering needs by capturing model-based digital architecture and requirements while retrieving compliance data from various sources into the systems engineering model for a defense program.

• Coordinate with customers and program team members to understand the intent and needs of the integrated system

• Evaluate and manage customer requirements and derived flow down into subsystem and component specifications as appropriate

• Analyze the needs of the system and translate into verifiable performance and design requirements

• Support associated verification approach and work with engineering teams to develop analysis and test results to support stakeholder requirements

• Integrate customer directed changes into the system and facilitate implementation of changes within a change management system

• Coordinate and communicate between multiple cross-functional subsystem teams

• Support capture of model architecture for model-based integration of requirements, design, analysis, and verification

Skills & Qualifications:

• Understanding of requirements and basic principles of verification strategies

• Experience and familiarity with model-based systems engineering tools, specifically object-oriented tools like No Magic Cameo or similar

• Experience with architecture diagrams (structural diagrams for physical, functional, and logical relationships), behavior diagrams (activity, use case, etc.), and other MBSE diagrams useful to understand product needs
