Northrop Grumman
Staff Software Systems Engineer (Software Architecture) - R10214219
Northrop Grumman, Baltimore, Maryland, United States
Staff Software Systems Engineer (Software Architecture)
Join to apply for the Staff Software Systems Engineer (Software Architecture) role at Northrop Grumman.
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.
One of our most challenging new fields is Microelectronics Design and Applications (MDA), which combines the unique properties of superconductivity and quantum mechanics to develop radical new energy‑efficient computing systems. MDA is seeking a Staff Software Systems Engineer with demonstrated ability to lead systems engineers in the development of new technologies to support our innovative MDA team in support of emerging supercomputing technologies.
Relocation assistance may be available. Clearance type: Polygraph. Travel: Yes, 10% of the time. Position will serve on‑site in Linthicum / Annapolis Junction, MD.
What You’ll Get To Do
Developing and Evaluating Models
Creating and refining mathematical and computer‑based models to simulate the behavior of complex systems in areas such as aerospace, defense, advanced computing, or telecommunications.
Data Analysis and Interpretation
Analyzing simulation results to assess system performance, identify areas for improvement, and optimize designs.
Simulation Execution and Management
Running simulations, managing data, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the simulation environment, troubleshooting technical issues, and implementing effective solutions.
System Design and Optimization
Using simulation results to inform system design decisions, optimising performance parameters, and providing systems test and integration support during new system implementations.
Collaboration and Communication
Working with engineers, scientists, and stakeholders to translate requirements into simulation models, communicating findings, supporting system technical performance measurement, and collaborating cross‑functionally to align designs with system requirements.
Technical Documentation
Creating and maintaining technical documentation, reports, and presentations; developing and implementing test plans; capturing customer needs into System‑Level requirements and Technical Performance Measures; assisting with generation of executable system, subsystem, and software requirements documents, interface documents, and test and verification documents.
System Design and Architecture
Experience with software design patterns, requirements gathering, version control; defining systems and demonstrations that combine technologies from other MDA efforts into products that solve critical customer mission needs; driving development and integration plans leading to successful demonstrations; developing system‑level roadmaps; working with customer, partner, and supplier communities on conceptual systems for major program milestones; analysing system requirements and developing implementation plans with functional definitions and allocation between hardware and software components.
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in a STEM discipline with 12 years of experience, Master’s degree with 10 years, or PhD with 8 years.
Ability to team plan, execute, manage technical scope, and support leadership planning.
Working knowledge of Object‑Oriented Analysis and Design principles.
Proactive, independent, and ready to take initiative without constant supervision.
Experience with various programming languages (Python, C/C++, etc.).
Experience in Model‑Based Systems Engineering languages (SysML/UML) and concepts.
Experience interpreting complex algorithms and requirements for implementation.
Candidate must be a U.S. Citizen.
Must be able to obtain and maintain the necessary U.S. Government security clearance per customer requirements.
Preferred Qualifications
Current active TS/SCI Clearance with Poly.
Proficient with DOORS, Cameo, and the ability to write and decompose system requirements.
Ability to evaluate risks and tradeoffs and present solution options to management.
Experience using Atlassian tools to track agile backlog.
Experience generating and delivering documents (CDRLs) for government use.
Experience designing software using UML in Cameo or similar MBSE modeling tools.
Experience performing trade studies of COTS products for use in the delivered system.
Primary Level Salary Range: $169,000.00 - $265,600.00. The above salary range represents a general guideline; however, Northrop Grumman considers a number of factors when determining base salary offers such as the scope and responsibilities of the position and the candidate’s experience, education, skills and current market conditions.
