Principal Software Engineer (RA)
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-Launch and Missile Defense Systems has an exciting career opportunity for a Principal Software Engineer (RA) to join our team of talented and diverse professionals. This role, based in Huntsville, AL, or Colorado Springs, CO., is crucial in supporting the U.S. President, the Secretary of Defense, and combatant commanders at strategic, regional, and operational levels. This position does not offer relocation support and requires on-site work with no remote options. Position Overview:
The Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) program is an essential part of the Missile Defense System. It provides a vital operational platform that allows the U.S. president, the secretary of defense, and combatant commanders at strategic, regional, and tactical levels to systematically plan missile defense operations, monitor battle progress, and actively control networked sensors and weapon systems to achieve global and regional mission objectives. C2BMC offers a layered missile defense capability, delivering an optimized response to threats across all ranges and flight phases. It functions as a force multiplier by connecting, integrating, and synchronizing autonomous sensor and weapon systems and operations both worldwide and locally to improve overall performance. Additionally, C2BMC is a crucial element of all ground and flight tests that verify and demonstrate the missile defense system's current and future capabilities. This position is for a Principal Software Engineer on the C2BMC program. The selected candidate will be responsible for software development in Java for a Regional Applications team in Huntsville (Battle Management, System-Arch, or Track Server). Working with minimal supervision, provides specialized expertise across multiple systems and software disciplines, as well as general knowledge of related fields, application implications, and customer areas. Responsible for conducting in-depth analysis and providing technical support for systems software products, including resolving complex problems, designing, developing, testing, integrating operationally, and supporting users. Essential Functions: Will handle currency updates, debugs, and configures related software products Works from specifications to develop or modify operating system applications Supports design, coding, benchmark testing, debugging, and documentation of programs Collaborate with other system support groups to resolve issues, establish standards, and enhance the overall efficiency of the operating system Designs, codes, tests, and implements tools for automation in operations Will handle most phases of software systems programming applications and may need minor guidance in other phases Basic Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics) discipline or a related field from an accredited university is preferred, along with 5 years of experience; or a Master's degree in a related field with 3 years of relevant work experience, or a PhD and 1 year of related experience; or 9 years of relevant work experience may be considered in lieu of a degree Ability and willingness to travel up-to 10% to support business needs Applicants must have a current, active in-scope DoD-issued Secret security clearance at the time of application, which is required to start Candidates with an active DoD 8140 certification at IAT Level II or higher (e.g., Security+, GSEC, SCNP, SSCP, CISSP, CISA, GSE, SCNA) are strongly preferred at the time of application.
