Principal Engineer Systems Modeling Simulation 2/3 (AHT)

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.

Northrop Grumman is currently seeking a Systems, Modeling and Simulation, or Software Engineer Level 2/3 to work at our Northridge, CA. location.

The successful candidate will be working with simulations that represent our AARGM family of missiles. These simulations are used as tools to verify that the missile system meets its requirements. The engineer will be assisting in this verification, and in investigating software and algorithm shortcomings that could be causing failures to meet requirements.

Daily work will include setting up simulation scenarios, analysis of simulation results, software development in python, matlab, and/or C++, requirements analysis, and requirements verification.

Basic Qualifications for a Systems Modeling Simulation. Engineer- (Level 2): 

• BS degree in aerospace engineering, physics, software engineering, systems engineering, or a related field with 2 years of experience or an MS degree with 0 years of experience is required.

• Experience with requirements verification and validation, or in performing analysis with python or matlab.

• Proficiency with C++, and either python or MATLAB.

• Experience developing in a Windows environment.

• Experience with the object oriented development.

• Must have an active secret clearance, and be able to obtain a SAP level clearance.

• Sufficient background in physics to understand the basics of flight dynamics and sensors. Typical engineering level physics courses will suffice. Material covered in first year engineering physics courses will suffice.

Basic Qualifications for a Systems Modeling Simulation. Engineer- (Level 3): 

• BS degree in aerospace engineering, physics, software engineering, systems engineering, or a related field with 5 years of experience or an MS degree with 3 years of experience is required.

• Experience with requirements verification and validation, or in performing analysis with python or matlab.

• Proficiency with C++, and either python or MATLAB.

• Experience developing in a Windows environment.

• Experience with the object oriented development.

• Must have an active secret clearance, or interim clearance and be able to obtain a SAP level clearance.

• Sufficient background in physics to understand the basics of flight dynamics and sensors. Typical engineering level physics courses will suffice. Material covered in first year engineering physics courses will suffice.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Proficiency with both python and matlab

• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel

• Experience in high performance computing or monte carlo simulations.

• Experience in Modeling and Simulation of weapon systems

• Proficiency with CAMEO

• Experience in Operational Analysis

• Experience with AFSIM

• Experience in flight dynamics

• Active Secret or SAP level Clearance.
