Northrop Grumman Space Systems—Launch and Missile Defense Systems offers an exciting career opportunity for a Sr. Principal Engineer Systems – Systems Engineer-Interface Engineer (25-277) to join our team of qualified and diverse individuals. This position, located in Colorado Springs, CO, or Huntsville, AL, plays a crucial 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 integrating element of the Missile Defense System. It is an essential operational system that enables the U.S. president, the secretary of defense, and combatant commanders at strategic, regional, and operational levels to systematically plan ballistic missile defense operations, monitor the progression of the battle, and dynamically manage networked sensors and weapon systems to achieve global and regional mission objectives. C2BMC supports a layered missile defense capability that allows for an optimized response to threats of all ranges at every phase of flight. C2BMC acts as a force multiplier, globally and regionally networking, integrating, and synchronizing autonomous sensor and weapon systems and operations to enhance performance. Additionally, C2BMC is a crucial component of all system ground and flight tests, which verify and exercise the current and future capabilities of the missile defense system.

This position will be assigned to the C2BMC Systems Engineering Team within SEIT. The Interface Engineer is a Systems Engineer and will occasionally support non-interface systems engineering activities. The Interface Engineer will lead the development of ICDs and IDDs, involving the establishment of new interfaces between external elements, such as sensors, and other Command and Control Systems. The Interface Engineer will ensure that the created ICDs and IDDs adhere to the program's required standards. Additionally, the Interface Engineer is expected to develop various behavioral diagrams to clarify and document the requirements. They will create requirements captured in DOORS that are detailed enough to provide a clear understanding to the implementation teams.

Essential Functions:

• The primary responsibility will be to develop and update multiple Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and Interface Design Documents (IDDs)
• Will participate in interface working group meetings with the MDA customer and representatives from the assigned external element engineering organization, and support program integration and test-related efforts for the associated interface
• A successful candidate may also be assigned to assist other interface engineers in developing ICDs for additional BMDS elements, as well as supporting requirements in engineering, use case development, and logical architecture modeling tasks, as needed by the SE department
• A successful candidate will support spiral leadership to ensure that the interface artifacts and system assessment tasks required for the assigned sensor interface are completed as necessary
