Principal Modeling Simulation and Analysis Systems Engineer

RELOCATION ASSISTANCE: Relocation assistance may be available CLEARANCE REQUIRED FOR START: Yes CLEARANCE TYPE: Secret TRAVEL: Yes, 10% of the Time Description At Northrop Grumman, our employees have incredible opportunities to work on revolutionary systems that impact people's lives around the world today, and for generations to come. Our pioneering and inventive spirit has enabled us to be at the forefront of many technological advancements in our nation's history - from the first flight across the Atlantic Ocean, to stealth bombers, to landing on the moon. We look for people who have bold new ideas, courage and a pioneering spirit to join forces to invent the future, and have fun along the way. Our culture thrives on intellectual curiosity, cognitive diversity and bringing your whole self to work — and we have an insatiable drive to do what others think is impossible. Our employees are not only part of history, they're making history. We are looking for a Principal Modeling Simulation and Analysis Systems Engineer to join our team in Baltimore, MD. This position requires 100% on-site work. What You Will Get to Do: As an integral member of the Modeling, Simulation and Analysis Section and the broader Systems Engineering team, you will accelerate delivery of capabilities to our customers through performance engineering, software integration, mission studies, system-of-system trades, and test activities that leverage credible modeling, simulation, experimentation, and analysis. You will apply MS&A techniques with a focus on systems and software performance analysis and Mission Engineering across all phases of radar systems engineering and mission operations to assess, validate, and optimize system, subsystem, and mission performance; interacting with IQ data from simulated and real-world collections, following it through the radar processing chain; and working closely with M&S, radar mode, and mission engineering teams to identify and resolve deficiencies in both modeled data, operational modes, and mission architectures that best deliver the effects, data, and capabilities demanded by tomorrow’s missions. • Perform performance-focused modeling and simulation on high-performance computing grids to evaluate and optimize system and subsystem behavior, perform analysis-of-alternatives and mission architecture trades across offensive and defensive orders of battle, formations, and equipment including laydowns, platforms, and loadouts of sensors, effectors, and weapons as well as communications, command, and control segments among combatants and the impacts of the tactics and strategies used; conduct trade studies; and generate systems engineering documents, reports, operational documentation, and mission analysis products. • Utilize Modeling, Simulation, Experimentation, and Analysis (MSE&A) frameworks to support software integration, algorithm development, radar mode validation, and to evaluate Concepts of Employments (CONEMPS), Concepts of Operations (CONOPS), and Design Reference Missions (DRM) to affect system design and optimization, ensuring consistency between modeled environments, operational environments, and real-world data. • Assess system capabilities by linking system and subsystem requirements to performance metrics and mission threads, proving operative interfaces and their connections that enable mission execution, defining and verifying interfaces and their connections that enable mission execution, verification/validation planning of system elements performing missions, and supporting system integration and test activities during development. • Support systems engineering radar algorithm validation by tracing IQ data through the radar processing chain, comparing modeled and collected data, and identifying p
