Northrop Grumman Space Systems—Missile Defense Integration offers an excellent opportunity for a Sr Principal Systems Engineer (Tool Integrator) (26-160) to join our team of skilled and diverse professionals. Located in Colorado Springs, CO, Schriever Space Force Base, or in

Huntsville, AL, this role is essential to supporting the U.S. President, the Secretary of Defense, and combatant commanders at the strategic, regional, and operational levels.

 

This position does not provide relocation assistance and requires on-site work with no remote options.

 

Position Overview:

 

The Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) program is a key component of the Missile Defense System. It is a vital 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, collectively monitor the battle, and dynamically control networked sensors and weapon systems to achieve global and regional mission goals. C2BMC supports layered missile defense capabilities that enable an optimized response to threats across all ranges and flight phases. It acts as a force multiplier by networking, integrating, and synchronizing autonomous sensor and weapon systems and operations, both regionally and worldwide, to improve performance. C2BMC is essential for all ground and flight tests that verify and demonstrate the current and future capabilities of missile defense systems.

 

Essential Functions:

 

Will perform some or all of the following duties, focusing on early-phase (concept, requirements, and design) activities of the Systems Engineering Development Lifecycle:

• Lead the development of new system concepts by transforming stakeholder needs, acquired through documentation and solicitation, into easily reviewable technical approaches
• Experience with MBSE approaches and tools (e.g., Cameo and/or Tableau)
• Perform requirements elicitation and decomposition using behavioral artifacts such as use cases, activity diagrams, and sequence diagrams to convey understanding of the required behaviors and the system's performance under development
• Lead the development of physical and logical system models that capture the system under development, using Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approaches and tools
• Lead system interface development, as documented in Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and Interface Design Descriptions (IDDs), by translating system and interface requirements into message-level details sufficient to coordinate interface development
• Support formal and informal engineering technical reviews
• Create, review, and critique interface documents, system requirements, verification documentation, architectural documentation, and engineering estimates
• Interface with key stakeholders, including the MDA customer and working-level counterparts, as needed
• Participate in Agile development planning and execution, including iteration planning and status reporting.
