Northrop Grumman Space Systems – Launch and Missile Defense Systems has an exciting career opportunity for a Sr Principal Engineer Systems – Global SE Interface Lead (25-078) to join our team of qualified, diverse individuals. This position will be in Colorado Springs, CO., or Huntsville, AL.

Position Overview:

The Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) program integrates the Missile Defense System. It serves as a vital operational system that enables the U.S. president, secretary of defense, and combatant commanders at strategic, regional, and operational levels to systematically plan ballistic missile defense operations, monitor the development of the battle collectively, and dynamically manage designated networked sensors and weapon systems to achieve global and regional mission objectives. C2BMC supports a layered missile defense capability that facilitates an optimized response to threats across all ranges in every flight phase. C2BMC acts as a force multiplier, globally and regionally networking and synchronizing autonomous sensors and weapon systems to enhance performance. C2BMC is essential for all system ground and flight tests, verifying and demonstrating the capabilities of all current and future missile defense systems.

This position will be assigned to the C2BMC-G Systems Engineering Team within SEIT. This is a Systems Engineer role, which will occasionally require support for non-interface systems engineering activities. The C2BMC-G Interface Lead will manage a small team of Interface engineers in the development of ICDs and IDDs. This involves establishing new interfaces between external elements, including space and terrestrial sensors, to facilitate seamless integration. As the lead of the interface team, the Interface Lead will ensure that issues and challenges within the team are resolved and that the ICDs and IDDs created by the team meet the necessary standards required by the program.

• Develop and oversee the development of behavioral diagrams to understand the requirements and behavior of the interface
• Primary responsibility will be developing and updating multiple Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and Interface Design Documents
• Attend interface working group meetings with MDA customers and representatives of assigned external element engineering organizations, as well as support program integration and test-related efforts for the associated interface
• May be assigned to support other interface engineers in developing ICDs for other BMDS Elements, support requirements engineering, use case development, and logical architecture modeling tasks as SE department tasking requires
• Support spiral leadership to ensure interface artifacts and system assessment tasks required for the assigned sensor interface are completed when needed
• Must have experience in authoring ICDs and IDDs that are DID-compliant and to DoD Standards
• Must be able to lead and function as part of an experienced team in developing systems engineering products and artifacts while adhering to the program Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP) and other processes
