US H-1B: cap-subject employers enter a lottery weighted by wage level — Level I gets 1 entry, Level IV gets 4 (DHS projected selection odds ≈15% at Level I to ≈61% at Level IV). Universities and non-profit research employers are cap-exempt. The $100,000 fee for new petitions from abroad is currently blocked by a court order (appeal pending).

RELOCATION ASSISTANCE: Relocation assistance may be available CLEARANCE REQUIRED FOR START: No 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 is currently seeking a Structural Engineer (Level 2) to provide expertise for our Armament Systems Business Unit located in Plymouth, MN. The development of smart armament systems, designed to increase the competitive advantage of our armed forces, is accelerating. This growth has created a need for an engineer with a passion for technology development and a strong foundation in structural analysis. At Armament Systems, we design, develop, and sustain advanced weapon systems and munitions that must perform reliably in demanding environments across their entire life cycle. Our team integrates mechanical design, modeling and simulation, and test to deliver safe, effective, and affordable products to the warfighter. As a Structural Engineer, you will contribute to this mission by supporting structural and structural/thermal coupled analyses that guide design decisions, improve product robustness, and help ensure our systems meet or exceed customer expectations. The candidate shall be able to assess the design problem, work with the Subject Matter Expert to formulate an analysis approach and utilize a suite of tools to aid in design development. Any number of solution types such as static structural and other implicit dynamic solution types such as modal, harmonic, spectrum and random vibration may be required to support the entire design life cycle. Responsibilities: • Work with Subject Matter Experts to develop finite element analysis approaches and solutions to structural problems based on a strong understanding of engineering principles. • Assist in determining the appropriate analysis type and tools needed to evaluate a variety of numerical modeling problems involving metals, plastics, and composite materials. • Develop the structural and coupled thermal/structural models: • Geometry preparation and mesh generation • Selection and application of boundary conditions and constraints • Selection and application of material properties • Setup and execution of appropriate simulation codes and solution methodologies • Develop simple bench tests to anchor simulation predictions • Post-process and assist in the interpretation of analytical results; help identify key sensitivities and support recommendations for design improvements. • Document analysis methods, assumptions, and results in clear technical reports and presentations for internal design reviews. • Support innovation by applying modern analysis tools and workflows to new smart munition product development. • Become an integrated member of the product team by developing an understanding of the overall system function, collaborating closely with Design, Systems, and Test Engineers, and presenting analysis results and design recommendations in an insightful and timely manner.
