Sr Principal Engineer Systems – Sys Engr-Interface Engineer (25-511)
Northrop Grumman Corporation, Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States, 80509
Overview
RELOCATION ASSISTANCE: No relocation assistance available. CLEARANCE TYPE: Secret. TRAVEL: Yes, 10% of the Time. Northrop Grumman Space Systems—Launch and Missile Defense Systems offers an exciting career opportunity for a Sr Principal Engineer Systems – Sys Engr-Interface Engineer (25-511) to join our team of qualified and diverse individuals. This position, based in Colorado Springs, CO, or Huntsville, AL, plays a critical role in supporting the U.S. President, Secretary of Defense, and combatant commanders at strategic, regional, and operational levels. Relocation assistance is not available for this position, and this role is on-site with no remote options. Position Overview
The Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) program serves as the central element of the Missile Defense System. It enables the U.S. president, the secretary of defense, and combatant commanders at strategic, regional, and operational levels to plan ballistic missile defense operations, monitor battle progress, and dynamically manage networked sensors and weapon systems to achieve global and regional mission goals. C2BMC supports a layered missile defense capability and acts as a force multiplier by utilizing networked, integrated, and synchronized operations on a global and regional scale, along with autonomous sensor and weapon systems, to enhance performance. C2BMC is a key component of all ground and flight tests, which validate and demonstrate current and future capabilities of the missile defense system. The Interface Engineer will lead the development and design of Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and Interface Design Documents (IDDs). They will establish new interfaces between external elements, such as sensors, and other Command and Control Systems. The Engineer will ensure that the ICDs and IDDs meet the program's standards. The Engineer is also expected to develop various behavioral diagrams to understand and document requirements. This position will be part of the C2BMC Systems Engineering Team within SEIT and may support non-interface systems engineering activities as needed. Salary range in Huntsville: $131,100 - $196,700. Salary range in Colorado Springs: $124,900 - $187,300. Essential Functions
Developing, updating, and maintaining multiple ICDs and IDDs. Attend interface working group meetings with the external MDA customer and representatives of the assigned external element engineering organization, and support program integration and testing efforts for the related interface. Assist other Interface Engineers in developing ICDs for different Missile Defense Systems Elements, supporting requirements engineering, use case development, and logical architecture modeling tasks as prioritized by the SE department. Support leadership, developers, and testers by addressing messages, interface rules (transmit, receive, processing), questions, and test findings. Maintain strong written and verbal communication skills. Basic Qualifications
Please note your updated security clearance and IAT/relevant certifications on your resume, if applicable. A Bachelor’s Degree in a STEM field (e.g., Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics) from an accredited university is preferred, with 8 years of experience; or a Master’s degree (preferred) in a STEM-related discipline with 6 years of experience; or a PhD with 4 years of experience. Applicants must have a current, active in-scope DoD-issued Secret security clearance at the time of application, as this is essential to start. Ability and willingness to travel up to 10% to support business needs. Solid understanding of Systems Engineering processes and principles. Proven track record of applying concepts to deliver effective product solutions. Experience in requirements elicitation, especially using behavior diagrams to analyze and decompose requirements. Expertise in interface engineering, including authoring ICDs and IDDs that cover: Message definitions, processing rules, and formatting (e.g., XML, VMF). Physical and network specifications and models (including the ISO/OSI model). Network topologies, devices, and protocols (e.g., TCP/IP, UDP). Preferred Qualifications
A master’s degree in STEM Systems Engineering is preferred. Certification: INCOSE Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP). Certification: Object Management Group Certified Systems Modeling Professional - Model Builder Fundamental (OCSMP - MBF). Prior work with IBM Rational DOORS (or similar requirements management tools) is highly preferred. Extensive experience in developing ICDs and IDDs and adherence to DIDs and DoD standards; ability to work within an experienced systems engineering team and deliver high-quality artifacts per the SEPM and related processes. Strong background in developing detailed Command and Control (C2) system ICDs and IDDs. Strong knowledge of computer programming principles to facilitate communication with software development teams. What We Can Offer You
