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 Space Systems-Missile Defense Integration offers an excellent opportunity for a Software Engineer (26-420) to join our team of skilled and diverse professionals.

Based in Huntsville, AL, this role is essential to supporting the U.S. President, the Secretary of Defense, and combatant commanders at the strategic, regional, and operational levels.

This position does not provide relocation assistance and requires on-site work with no remote options.

Position Overview:

The Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) program is a key component of the Missile Defense System. It is a vital operational system that enables the U.S. President, the Secretary of Defense, and combatant commanders at strategic, regional, and operational levels to plan ballistic missile defense operations systematically, collectively monitor the battle, and dynamically control networked sensors and weapon systems to achieve global and regional mission goals.

C2BMC supports layered missile defense capabilities that enable an optimized response to threats across all ranges and flight phases. It serves as a force multiplier by networking, integrating, and synchronizing autonomous sensor and weapon systems and operations, both globally and regionally, to improve performance. C2BMC is essential for all ground and flight tests that verify and demonstrate the current and future capabilities of missile defense systems.

We are seeking a Software Engineer to join one of the C2BMC Regional Applications teams in Huntsville, AL, with potential focus areas that include BM/SRM, Track Server, or System Architecture.

Essential Functions:

In this role, you will:

• Design, develop, and maintain software in Java/J2EE (and other object-oriented technologies as appropriate) to support Regional Applications within the C2BMC program
• Work within an Agile team environment to implement new features, enhance existing capabilities, and resolve complex problems in support of operational missile defense missions
• Translate requirements and systems engineering artifacts-including Use Cases and SysML diagrams-into robust, maintainable software components
• Apply and adhere to established software engineering practices, including:
  • Coding standards and code reviews
  • Automated testing (unit, integration, and/or system tests)
  • Automated build pipelines and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD)
  • Configuration management and version control
• Participate in the full software development lifecycle: analysis, design, implementation, integration, test, and deployment
• Perform analysis and provide technical support for systems software products, including complex problem resolution and performance optimization
• Debug, troubleshoot, and configure software in development, integration, and operational environments
• Work from specifications to develop or modify operating system-level applications and services supporting C2BMC
• Collaborate closely with other system support groups, including systems engineering, integration, test, and operations, to resolve issues and improve overall system efficiency and reliability
• Prepare and maintain technical documentation, including design descriptions, test plans, test results, and user support materials
• Support user inquiries and provide technical expertise to sustain and improve fielded mission capabilities
• Contribute to continuous improvement of team processes, tools, and practices to increase quality, resiliency, and delivery speed
