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.

Northrop Grumman is seeking Aircraft Mechanics for our Battlefield Airborne Communications Node (BACN) program. Positions are based out of Robins AFB, Georgia with domestic and international travel. (An additional international compensation package is offered for long‑term deployments). BACN is a communications system used by the US Air Force and special forces and missions partners. BACN allows military and coalition forces to exchange information seamlessly. It operates at high altitudes on platforms like the E‑11A modified Bombardier BD700 business jet and EQ‑4B Global Hawk. BACN overcomes terrain limitations, mitigates communications issues caused by mountains, terrain and distance, which are particularly relevant for Special Forces operating in challenging environments. BACN enhances situational awareness and provides a more complete picture of the battlespace to ground units, aircrews and command centers, including special operations forces. BACN enables a Special Forces operative using a cell phone to communicate directly with a fighter pilot for targeting information. BACN plays a critical role in facilitating communication between different branches of the military and improving mission success in critical scenarios, including those involving special operations.
