The Northrop Grumman Mission Systems Sector is a trusted provider of mission-enabling solutions for global security.

Our Engineering and Sciences (E&S) organization pushes the boundaries of innovation, redefines engineering capabilities, and drives advances in various sciences.

The System Engineer will have an in-depth system engineering background to include experience with RF or EW or RADAR. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on complex electronic warfare systems alongside a multi-disciplinary team. The Joint Electronic Attack Compatibility Office (JEACO) of the Naval Air Warfare Center, Weapons Division (NAWC-WD), Pt.

The system engineering work is for the Intrepid Tiger II (IT II) Family of Systems (FoS) Electronic Warfare (EW) pods that currently addresses communication threats.

The JEACO IT II FoS systems provide adaptable, distributed and networked electronic warfare capability for fixed wing and rotary wing USMC aircraft.

This Systems Engineer would be one of the technical leads for the development of USMC Electronic Warfare (EW) systems. System development would mainly address hardware, but could include some software as well.

Ensuring adherence to appropriate military standards via system requirements, design, and test (MIL-STD-461 (EMI), MIL-STD-464 (EMC), MIL-STD-704 (power), MIL-STD-810 (environmental), MIL-STD-882 (safety), MIL-STD-1250 and MIL-STD-7179 (corrosion), MIL-STD-1289 and MIL-STD-8591 (aircraft stores), and MIL-STD-1472 (human factors .

Oversee, support, and review system thermal, safety, and reliability analyses.
Ensuring proper system cooling and safety through design and feedback from analyses and prototype operation.

Research and select appropriate COTS components for system development based on system performance requirements, size, weight, and power constraints, etc.

Configure the system and validate the configuration of systems prior to deployment (hardware, configuration file settings, network IP addresses, and set up of communication and encryption devices).

Support the identification, documentation, and mitigation of program risks per the Navy's risk management process.
Review all electro-mechanical system drawings. Oversee integration testing of system incremental releases.
Troubleshoot system failures and performance issues.

Coordinate other system development roles (test, logistics, production, quality assurance, software, etc.) Support the use of key processes, such as the configuration management for system changes after the system baseline is established.

Support test's evaluation of system performance in the lab. Operate the system and test equipment to evaluate functional and RF performance against requirements.
the Systems Engineering Plan (SEP and the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS).
Collate technical data in response to program sponsor data calls.

Review system design documentation and operational checklists, procedures, user manuals, training materials, and other technical publications for technical accuracy and completeness.
