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.

At the heart of Defining Possible is our commitment to missions. In rapidly changing global security environments, Northrop Grumman brings informed insights and software-secure technology to enable strategic planning. We’re looking for innovators who can help us keep building on our wide portfolio of secure, affordable, integrated, and multi-domain systems and technologies that fuel those missions. By joining in our shared mission, we’ll support yours of expanding your personal network and developing skills, whether you are new to the field, or an industry thought leader. At Northrop Grumman, you’ll have the resources, support, and team to do some of the best work of your career.

The Advanced EOIR team anticipates a near-term need for a Principal Systems Engineer to work as an electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) team member to perform concept and algorithm development work related to advanced EO/IR sensing. As a member of this team, you will work on sensor modeling, signal/image processing, and AI/ML algorithm development. The team is focused on researching solutions for emerging sensors and mission areas and has a need for more staff to support the growing range of programs supported. Come join us for this 100% on-site position from Linthicum, MD!

What You’ll Get To Do:

In this role, you will work with a diverse team of physicists, signal processing engineers, and AI/ML engineers to develop novel EOIR sensor capabilities and evaluate the performance of these techniques. You will develop concepts for novel EO/IR sensors and develop cutting-edge algorithms to meet emerging mission needs. You will analyze data collected from some of the most advanced sensors ever fielded and generate representative synthetic data using high-fidelity, physics-based models.

A strong candidate for this role has experience in airborne and/or space-based EOIR sensors, experience developing and implementing algorithms, and experience leading teams to successful program execution.

Roles and Responsibilities:

Develop, integrate, test, and deploy novel EOIR-centric algorithms
Build and maintain physics-based sensor models
Develop and quantify performance metrics for system performance
Understand data quality and artifact impacts
Represent system performance in functional and analytical models
In coordination with the algorithm architect, lead technical execution of R&D programs

This position is contingent upon the successful transfer of an active U.S. Government Secret Clearance and the ability to obtain Special Program Access.

Bachelor’s degree with 5 years of experience, master's degree with 3 years of experience or Ph.D. with 1 year of experience in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, or related technical fields; an additional 4 years of experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
U.S Citizenship is required.
A current/active U.S. Government Secret Clearance
Ability to obtain Special Program Access (SAP)
Experience in technical computing languages, e.g. Python or MATLAB
Experience with airborne and/or space-based EOIR sensors
Experience with the understanding of Physics-based detection methods for various phenomenologies

Preferred Qualifications:

Advanced degree in STEM
Experience writing technical proposals
Developing and executing internal research and development projects
Current Top-Secret clearance, SAP access(es), and/or SCI access
Strong communication skills, both for internal and external audiences
