Job Description:
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.
Job Description
At Northrop Grumman, we Define Possible. We are a passionate
community of engineers and leaders, a creative community of
scientists and researchers, a diverse community of human beings,
all driven to pioneer the future. And in Survivability, that future
is bright... Or, from the enemy's perspective, it is as dark as the
cover of a moonless night.
Now, imagine sitting in a stadium, or outside at a parade, and the
next generation of Stealth Technology flies overhead, drawing a
roar of admiration from the crowd. Imagine being able to turn to
the person next to you and saying "I had a hand in that." At
Northrop Grumman Aeronautics Systems and in Survivability
Engineering, that could be Your Possible. We are tasked with
developing, testing, and implementing new materials, technologies,
and concepts, that enable the most lethal, intelligent, and
collaborative systems to penetrate and operate in enemy airspace
with impunity. We work hand in hand with a broad swath of other
engineering disciplines to design, develop, manufacture, and
sustain these systems. Our responsibilities span the full Systems
Engineering lifecycle-from research and development to modeling and
analysis, from static / component test to dynamic flight test, from
manufacturing floor support to field repairs and maintenance, and
more. We work across multiple spectrums-from RF (Radio Frequency),
to IR (Infrared) and Visual, to Acoustic. Our engineers have the
opportunity to work in various environments-behind desks, in highly
specialized labs, at indoor and outdoor test and measurement
ranges, and at overseas operational locations. Our team is
absolutely critical to the cradle-to-grave success of our
cornerstone programs and the programs of the future, and your role
on our team would be equally critical to our success as an
organization. Without Survivability Engineers, there is no Low in
Low Observable. Without us, there is no Stealth in Stealth Bomber.
Join us, and let's Define Survivable together!
