Job description

Job Description

We are looking for you to join our team as a Radio Frequency Systems Engineer to join our organization. Our organization within Northrop Grumman Mission Systems offers the opportunity to join a team to solve problems in the field and drive new solutions into next generation systems across a wide variety of platforms and environments. You will support the Systems Engineering Integration and Test (SEIT) team on multiple major development programs.

This position is based out of Linthicum, MD and will be 100% on-site.

What You'll get to Do:

As the Radio Frequency Systems Engineer you will be primarily engaged in the development and fielding of systems for advanced dedicated and multi-function RF subsystems. You will work early in the system lifecycle by developing parametric representations, visualizations, and data-driven analyses to support sensor requirements definition and use case validation. Beyond the analysis and design phases, you will also be involved in integrating sensor modes and trackers, transitioning from digital simulation environments to sensor labs and our fleet of specially modified test aircraft. Throughout this process, you will engage with customers to balance their functional and performance requirements with other sensor functionalities, enabling true multi-function operation.

Support for performance compliant design of algorithms on next generation multifunction RF sensor

Support for novel solutions amid implementation constraints such as system interfaces, real time digital resource management, hardware limitations

Support for maturation and verification in digital simulation and hardware-in-the-loop environments, including authorship to test requirements

Apply strong systems engineering knowledge to various projects

Engage in System Architecture and Concept Development to establish clear project frameworks

Conduct Candidate Technology Trade Studies to evaluate potential solutions

Develop and derive requirements to ensure project specifications align with objectives

Collaborate on Algorithm Development for system functionality and efficiency

Perform Performance Analysis to assess system capabilities and effectiveness

Execute Data Analysis to derive insights and inform decision-making

Work collaboratively with cross-disciplinary teams, including hardware, software, and firmware engineers

Encourage innovation by identifying improvements and creatively solving problems
