Northrop Grumman Defense Systems is seeking to hire a Command and Launch (C&L) Systems Engineering and Integration (SE&I) Communications Outside Plant (COSP) Integrated Node Manager 2 in support of the Sentinel program. This leadership role will be located in Huntsville, AL.  

What you'll get to do:

As Lead of the C&L SE&I COSP Integrated Node team, you will be responsible for leading systems engineering execution as the main focal point for C&L product team systems engineering integration into the Launch Center. You will be expected to manage day to day operations of the COSP Integrated Node team.  At a minimum, your COSP Integrated Node team will be responsible for the oversight and on-schedule development of the C&L physical architecture, use cases, requirements, performance analysis, verification architecture model, and providing presentation materials suitable for Weapon System and C&L Working Groups. As the COSP Integrated Node Team Lead, you will lead the implementation of the processes dictating requirements development, verification activities, OPSCON and use cases, C&L architecture, and analysis model development. You will work with both the Program and C&L Product Development Teams to develop and mature systems engineering content and artifacts using Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools and methods. You will oversee and manage operational aspects of the COSP Integrated Node and serve as liaison among program management, planning, systems engineering, product teams, field engineering, logistics, and deployment engineering. You will have an opportunity to work with teammates across a wide variety of disciplines and become intimately familiar with all aspects of Sentinel.  You will lead coordination and collaboration across the diverse C&L engineering design teams to manage the technical baseline and facilitate the integration of C&L products to meet Weapon System and segment level requirements.  Your role will be responsible for ensuring that all C&L products are electrically, mechanically, thermally, HEMP-shielded, radiation hardened and fully integrated together as a unit at the COSP Integrated Node to perform the C&L mission. You will have opportunities to present at milestone reviews to program leadership and the customer, to include Critical Design Reviews (CDRs) and Functional Configuration Audits. You will also be expected to proactively coordinate with various teams to develop, document, and maintain design solutions. All job functions require close teamwork across technical disciplines and Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) in a fast-paced environment.

Roles and responsibilities:
• Ownership of requirements, allocation to lower levels, Requirement vs Capability (RvsC), verification planning (e.g RVAM development), and analysis planning and execution in a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) environment across the nodes.
• Communicate with the Weapon System, C&L segment, and product teams to coordinate maturation and integration of C&L content
• Lead team execution of MBSE architecture design, analysis, requirements analysis, requirement decomposition, and interface definition. 
• Lead development of Cameo physical architecture modeling
• Coordinate with various teams to analyze, develop, document, and maintain systems engineering and integration artifacts and design solutions
• Coordinate with C&L product teams for establishing content within the physical architecture
• Coordinate across multiple teams to ensure development of an integrated architecture model
• Customer coordination and interfacing with Product IPTs to support systems engineering activities relating to the Sentinel weapon system 
• Present at internal milestone and external customer CDR reviews
• Lead efforts to integrate vertically and horizontally
