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.

Northrop Grumman is currently looking for a Staff Embedded Software Engineer Level 5 to join our team of qualified, diverse individuals. As an integral part of our multi-discipline engineering team in Advanced Weapons, you will be on the forefront of developing next generation solutions to protect technology for our nation’s warfighters.

This position is required to be full-time, on-site in the Northridge, CA location. No remote/telework arrangement is available for this position. Applicants must have a current US Government DoW Secret security clearance with the ability to be cleared for Special Access Program (SAP) .

The RTOS Embedded Software Engineer is responsible for defining and leading the architecture of complex real‑time embedded software running on RTOS‑based platforms for weapon systems. This role focuses on deterministic behavior, schedulability, resource optimization, and robust inter-process communication for mission‑critical systems. The architect partners and collaborates closely with project teams, external partners, and customers to ensure the software architecture meets stringent safety, security, and performance requirements.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop and implement software architectures for RTOS‑based embedded devices and systems (multi‑core processors, distributed nodes, safety‑critical components) based on requirements
Design, develop, code, test, and debug system software, including low-level drivers and board bring-up.
Create and maintain hardware-abstraction layers (HAL) and operating-system abstraction layers (OSAL) for embedded systems.
Define and enforce architectural guidelines, coding standards, and design patterns across cross-functional teams for RTOS‑based software design and integration.
Participate in all phases of the software development lifecycle in an Agile environment, including requirements verification and validation.
Lead integration of real-time operating systems (VxWorks) and ensure deterministic scheduling, priority management, and inter-process communication.
Mentor embedded software engineers, conduct code reviews, and provide technical guidance across Hardware, Software, and Systems Engineering disciplines

Basic Qualifications:

BS or in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field with 12+ years of embedded software experience; or a MS degree with 10+ years of likewise experience; and an additional 4 years of experience may be considered in lieu of a degree
Proven software architect or technical lead experience for embedded systems
Expertise with at least one major RTOS (VxWorks, ThreadX, FreeRTOS, Green Hills INTEGRITY)
Experience in developing and troubleshooting low-level embedded software
Experience designing multi‑threaded, multi‑process systems with strict real‑time constraints
Strong proficiency in C/C++ programming and familiarity with Java, Python, or C#
Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain technical information to software, systems, and hardware engineering stakeholders as well as non-technical partners.
Current US Government DoW Secret security clearance with the ability to be cleared for Special Access Program (SAP)

Preferred Qualifications:

In‑depth understanding of weapons systems, real‑time embedded constraints, safety‑critical standards, and secure communications
Experience with version-control systems (Git) and CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, CMake, Make, Yocto)
Experience with hardware abstraction layers, peripheral abstraction layers, and OS abstraction layers for portable embedded software across multiple platforms
Hands-on experience with pre-emptive, multitasking RTOS environments and OSAL integration
Expertise in embedded C++ optimization and integration with VxWorks
Familiarity with Atlassian Suite (JIRA, Confluence, Bitbucket, SonarQube)
Product-owner experience and ability to translate architectural concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
