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.

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 Mission Systems is looking for you to join our team as a Principal Engineer Manufacturing, based out of Sunnyvale, CA.

What you will get to do:

Lead, track, execute, and audit Site‑Wide 5S Implementation
Develop, communicate, and enforce the 5S (Sort, Set‑in‑order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain) standards and monthly audits across all work areas.
Conduct regular 5S audits, scorecards, and visual management reviews; report findings to leadership and drive corrective actions.
Train supervisors, team leads, and operators on 5S principles, tools, and best practices; create easy‑to‑follow work instructions and visual guides.
Coordinate cross‑functional 5S events (kaizens, blitzes, and quarterly clean‑up days) to maintain high‐level organization and safety.
Design, Launch, and Manage the I‑Card (Improvement Idea) Suggestion Program
Establish the I‑Card process flow (submission, review, evaluation, implementation, feedback) and integrate it into the existing continuous‑improvement platform.
Create simple, accessible templates (paper and digital) for floor‑team members to submit ideas on process efficiency, quality, and safety.
Form a multidisciplinary review board; define evaluation criteria (impact, cost, feasibility) and set turnaround time targets.
Track all suggestions in a centralized database, generate regular performance reports, and recognize contributors through incentive programs.
Facilitate Idea Implementation
Prioritize high‑value I‑Card ideas; develop project charters, timelines, and resource plans.
Lead pilot tests, gather data, and validate results; scale successful pilots to the entire site.
Document lessons learned and update standard operating procedures (SOPs), work instructions, and visual controls accordingly.
Safety & Compliance Integration
Align 5S and I‑Card activities with occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements.
Conduct risk assessments for proposed changes; ensure that all improvements enhance workplace safety.
Promote a safety‑first culture by highlighting safety‑focused suggestions during meetings and visual displays.
Performance Measurement & Continuous Feedback
Define key performance indicators (KPIs) for 5S (e.g., audit scores, audit frequency) and I‑Card (e.g., number of suggestions, implementation rate, cost savings, safety incidents reduced).
Produce weekly/monthly dashboards for management review; use data to drive further improvement cycles.
Gather feedback from floor teams on the usability of 5S tools and the I‑Card system; iterate to improve user experience.
Cross‑Functional Collaboration
Partner with Production, Engineering, Quality, Maintenance, and CI team to ensure alignment of improvement initiatives with overall business objectives.
Support other lean tools (Value‑stream mapping, TPM, poka‑yoke, Quality build in station)
Coaching & Cultural Development
Mentor supervisors and “lean champions” to sustain 5S habits and encourage proactive idea generation.
Conduct workshops, short “brown‑bag” sessions, and visual board updates to keep a continuous‑improvement mindset top‑of‑mind.
Documentation & Reporting
Maintain up‑to‑date documentation of 5S standards, I‑Card procedures, and improvement project records.
Prepare executive summaries for senior leadership outlining cost‑benefit analyses, safety impact, and strategic alignment of improvement activities.
Continuous‑Improvement (CI) Repository System
Maintain a centralized CI repository that stores all improvement projects, methodologies, templates, SOPs, and lesson‑learned documents.
Produce dashboards and quarterly reports that visualize repository usage, improvement‑trend metrics, and ROI of captured CI initiatives.
Conduct training sessions and develop user guides to promote adoption of the repository among engineers, operators, and cross‑functional teams.
Act as the subject‑matter expert for audit readiness, providing auditors with quick access to documented CI evidence and traceability records

Position Summary / Responsibilities:

Lead site‑wide 5S implementation: develop standards, run audits, train teams, and drive corrective actions.
Design, launch, and manage the I‑Card (Improvement Idea) suggestion program, from submission workflow to performance reporting and incentives.

Integrate safety and compliance into all 5S and I‑Card activities, conducting risk assessments and promoting a safety‑first culture.
Define and track KPIs for 5S, suggestion systems, etc., delivering dashboards and continuous‑feedback loops to senior leadership.
Coach supervisors and lean champions, partner with cross‑functional teams, and maintain comprehensive documentation and executive reports.
Design and maintain a Central Repository for all continuous‑improvement documentation (projects, templates, SOPs, lessons learned).
