Cyber Systems Engineer
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. We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated mid-senior Cyber Systems Engineers to join our dynamic engineering team. This role involves serving as a Model-Based Systems Engineer (MBSE) on a team dedicated to the development of a new cloud hybrid solution operating in a multi-level security environment. The position requires expertise in with a focus on both Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) operations. The qualified applicant will become part of Northrop Grumman's Mission Systems support team in San Antonio, TX. Please be aware that this position will be contingent upon capturing program award, obtaining customer funding, and holding final clearances prior to start date. What you'll get to do: Collaborate with the lead engineer to design and implement modeling frameworks for SD-WAN solutions within a cloud environment. Conduct risk assessments and develop strategies for secure data transmission and storage in a multi-level security setting. Utilize MBSE methodologies to capture and analyze system requirements, functionality, and performance. Engage in systems integration and testing to ensure compliance with cybersecurity standards Enable simulation concept creating virtual representations (models) of real-world networks to study behavior, predict performance, and test designs in a virtual environment. Support the documentation of engineering processes, models, and security protocols. Assist in the creation and execution of operational plans for both CONUS and OCONUS deployments. Communicate effectively with cross-functional teams, stakeholders, and regulatory bodies to convey technical information and project status. Stay current with emerging cybersecurity trends, technologies, and best practices. This position can be filled at the Principal Engineer or Sr. Principal Engineer level.
