Northrop Grumman Space Systems, Multi-Domain Operations, and Missile Defense Integration Business Unit (BU) has an exciting career opportunity for an Electrical Engineer (Design & Analysis) – Level 5 to join our team of qualified, diverse individuals. This position will be in Huntsville, AL.

Position Overview:

The selected Electrical Engineer – Level 5 responsibilities will include the support of the Ground Weapons System (GWS) program as an individual contributor on the Specialty Engineering RAM team and Technical Leadership team across A&D GWS. This role is responsible for developing electrical analysis products for hardware items that directly support the design and development of the GWS capability on behalf of the Missile Defense Agency (MDA).

 

Essential Functions:

• Review suppliers "as-planned", "as-designed", and "as-built" documentation (e.g. interface control document, derating analysis, worst case analysis, qualification test plan and procedure, acceptance test plan and procedure, test report).

• Develop and implement modeling solutions, conduct trade studies and evaluation of system and subsystem performance

• Frequently collaborate with technical leadership on system requirements generation and associated flow down, subsystem design/analysis, and subsystem performance verification including lab and flight testing

• Perform the test design process along with the design, analysis and fabrication of specialty test equipment required for environmental testing and handling

• Performs analyses to evaluate all levels of the system to ensure a cohesive electrical-system solution throughout the development lifecycle (concept, design, fabrication, test, installation, operation, maintenance, and disposal)

• Manages the internal & external electrical interfaces (such as data, power, RF) and develops the corresponding system-level interconnect/block diagrams, grounding diagrams, electrical schematics and global connectivity list for the weapon system

• Manage hardware command and telemetry implementation (e.g. develop and coordinate calibration and conversion curves for analog telemetry in coordination subsystem engineers, verify electrical/software implementation)

• Verify electrical connectivity implementation (e.g. verify electrical harness implementation, safety-critical circuit segregation, support peer-reviews)

• Develops and evaluates electrical system architecture alternatives in concert with the broader systems engineering effort to select an electrical-system architecture that meets the customer's needs. Drive open design to completion and solve design issues (e.g. propose solutions, support mass reduction initiatives)

• Performs electrically focused requirement analysis and decomposition as part of the systems engineering translation of customer requirements into hardware and software specifications

• Performs analyses to evaluate all le
