System Engineer-Modeling and Simulation

Northrop Grumman Defense Systems is seeking an experienced -Systems Engineer to work as a part of our modeling and simulation team on projects based on the AARGM ER missile system. These programs are vital to our national interest and will be relied upon by war fighters in multiple services. We are seeking a candidate who has a broad subset of the skills listed herein to contribute in a variety of ways to our team. This position offers opportunities to work closely with engineers from a range of disciplines, and to broaden an engineer’s skill sets. If you have at least 9 years of experience as an engineer, or 7 years with a Masters, and have a background in at least two of software engineering, systems engineering, computer simulations, and technical leadership, please consider continuing your career with us.This position will be located at our Northridge, CA. location. This will be 100% on-site.

The successful candidate will perform software and algorithm design and development for new and existing performance models, threat models, component level simulations, and system level simulations. Products include effects-based simulations, Software in the loop simulations, and hardware in the loop services. System level simulations will include 6DOF kinematic models and sensor performance models.The candidate will use simulations for live test event support, operational analysis, mission effectiveness analysis, system performance analysis, and in support of both system software development and system algorithm development. Performance analysis will include use of AJEM lethality models. Operational analysis support will include integration of system level simulations with AJEM.
