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. Northrop Grumman Space Systems, Multi-Domain Operations, and Missile Defense Integration Business Unit (BU) has an exciting career opportunity for a Modeling & Simulation Systems Engineer – Level 2 (Infrared Hard Body (IRHB) Missile Modeling Engineer) to join our team of qualified, diverse individuals. This position will be located on-site at Schriever Space Force Base, in Colorado Springs, CO. This role requires employees to be onsite daily with no option for remote/hybrid work. Position Overview: The Threat and Advanced Simulation Development (TASD) Threat Systems Engineering (TSE) / Threat Modeling Center (TMC) at Northrop Grumman Space System sector is looking for you to join our Infrared Radiation Hard Body (IRHB) Missile Modeling team as a Systems Engineer. This exciting career opportunity at the TMC is responsible for the development and delivery of high-fidelity threat modeling products in support of the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and MDA’s Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS). TMC is responsible for the development of models and simulations (M&S) used to stimulate element models of MDA’s BMDS, including kinematic missile modeling, IR and RF signatures modeling, data production/analysis activities, and maintenance/sustainment activities for the entire TMC software baseline. TMC is a cornerstone element to the Threat and Advanced Simulation Development (TASD), as part of the MDA Engineering Directorate (DE) Task Order. The IRHB specialized position will be responsible for capturing and documenting requirements as they pertain to the infrared signature representation of a missile as well as developing infrared hard body missile threat models for use in a variety of modeling and simulation tools/frameworks/media. To successfully support the mission, the IRHB Engineer will be involved in direct discussions and collaborations with threat stakeholders, intelligence analysts, and fellow engineers to achieve highest fidelity representation and simulation of missile systems’ objects. The selected individual will work with little to no direct supervision; and work as an integral member of missile modeling team. Essential Functions: • Will gain experience with threat model phenomenology with focus on IR signatures. • Will gain experience with IR signature predictions and simulation models • Will work with the team to ensure completion of data production needs in support of MDA Ground Test Modeling and Simulation • Will work in close coordination with TMC’s Software Engineers • Will work in close collaboration with internal and external stakeholders in the development of IRHB models for new systems and often updates to existing missile systems. • Will gain experience in understanding stakeholders’ requirements and work with the team to ensure vigilant Verification and Validation
