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.

Candidates will be required to interface with engineering, quality, program management and customers. As a senior technician, training and technical guidance to lower-level technicians will be performed. Good interpersonal skills are required.
