Principal Systems Engineer – Mission Effectiveness/Ops Analysis – R10211129
Location: Melbourne, FL • Clearance: Secret • Travel: 10% • Relocation Assistance: Available
Northrop Grumman Aeronautics Systems invites an experienced Principal Systems Engineer to join the Systems Engineering Integration (SEI) Integrated Product Team (IPT). The role involves modeling, simulation, and analysis to support program development, execution, and research & development projects.
Key Responsibilities
Perform modeling, simulation, and analysis to support program development, execution, and related R&D projects.
Develop mission‑relevant scenarios and assess operational effectiveness of existing and emerging systems in representative operational environments.
Develop and integrate simulation frameworks and weapon systems components, including air vehicle platforms, kinematics, sensors, communications, command & control, weapons, and threat performance models and algorithms.
Analyze and test next‑generation tactical assets within an advanced threat environment.
Develop software to simulate real‑time operations and behavior of systems for virtual simulation (man‑in‑the‑loop) testing to evaluate future tactical aircraft in next‑generation air warfare mission environments.
Model operational environments and perform trade studies via computer simulation to recommend alternative system architectures and configurations.
Support the design and development of visualization models and databases for integration with high‑fidelity simulation environments used for strategic simulation and training.
Support evaluations to determine the best frameworks, hardware, capabilities, and tools available to create simulations and experiences that enhance the Virtual Simulation product.
Ensure performance capabilities of new systems and architectures are traded against cost and mission requirements.
Communicate across the engineering disciplines and technology areas to integrate capabilities.
Work independently or in team settings, according to project needs.
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor of Science in a STEM discipline AND 5 years of related professional/military experience, OR Master of Science in a STEM discipline AND 3 years of related professional/military experience, OR STEM Ph.D. AND 1 year of related professional/military experience.
Maintain a final adjudicated government Secret clearance (DoD must be in‑scope or enrolled in Continuous Evaluation) and any required program access(es) within a reasonable period of time.
Experience with operations analysis and/or virtual simulation tools (e.g., AFSIM, Brawler, STK, MATLAB).
Experience with MBSE modeling products (e.g., Cameo).
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with NGTS and/or FORTRAN.
Experience collaborating on projects with multiple teams and managing relationships through effective communication.
Advanced degree in Engineering, Operations Research, Mathematics, Physics, or Computer Science.
Experience in weapon system level design, integration, test and evaluation.
Understanding of Integrated Air Defense Systems and capabilities.
Ability to translate physics/mathematics models into real‑time simulation algorithms and models.
Experience with real‑time simulation/software development.
Experience working within an Agile workflow using Atlassian Suite products (e.g., Jira, BitBucket).
Familiarity with Digital Engineering processes.
Ability to communicate findings and recommendations clearly to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
Active Top Secret clearance.
Salary Range: $95,300.00 – $142,900.00. The range represents a general guideline; compensation offers consider scope, responsibilities, and candidate experience.
