Northrop Grumman Space Systems – Launch and Missile Defense Systems has an exciting career opportunity for a Principal Engineer Systems – Global Systems Interfaces & Capability SME (24-421) to join our team of qualified, diverse individuals. This position will be located in Colorado Springs, CO.

Position Overview:

The Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) program integrates the Missile Defense System. It is a vital operational system that enables the U.S. president, secretary of defense, and combatant commanders at strategic, regional, and operational levels to systematically plan ballistic missile defense operations, to see the battle develop collectively, and to dynamically manage designated networked sensors and weapons systems to achieve global and regional mission objectives. C2BMC supports a layered missile defense capability that enables an optimized response to threats of all ranges in all phases of flight. C2BMC is the force multiplier that globally and regionally networks integrate, synchronizing autonomous sensor and weapon systems and operations to optimize performance. C2BMC is integral to all system ground and flight tests, which verify and exercise all current and future missile defense system capabilities.

Work with the customer to define their mission needs and technical implementation strategies. Additionally, utilize established architectural approaches to achieve a technical solution to complex problems. Finally, the solutions should be presented clearly to audiences composed of both customers and C2BMC solution-level management. The selected candidate will report to the Global ART PM and work directly with the technical team.

Essential Functions:

• Possesses demonstrable skills in full-cycle systems engineering of new capabilities.
• System interface design & Interface Control Document development.
