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 Aeronautics Systems is looking to add a Sr. Principal Systems Engineer (Prognostics and Health Management) to our team onsite, in Melbourne, FL.

You should have a background in Aircraft & Ground Systems Health Management, with a particular focus on Prognostics and Diagnostic processes, analysis, and design for integrated systems. You should also have a strong foundational understanding of Reliability Maintainability & Testability (RM&T) engineering analyses and processes

This position requires proven experience integrating inputs from multiple systems to generate an integrated architecture; identify, develop, and decompose requirements; developing simple and complex logic or rulesets which can be used in Prognostic and Diagnostic Algorithms; and analyze flight and sensor logs for anomalous behavior and identifying root cause to reduce troubleshooting and increase fault isolation.

Analyses are performed at all stages of the complete system lifecycle to include: concept, design, fabrication, test, installation, operation, maintenance and disposal. Candidate will be expected to perform Built in Test (BIT) analysis, timeline analyses, detailed trade studies, sensor placement assessments, Mission Systems software analyses, and interface definition studies to translate customer requirements into hardware and software specifications.

You will serve as a technical lead, and be expected to mentor other technical employees in the application of principles, tools, and techniques to contribute to the final product

You will also serve as the organization spokesperson on advanced projects and programs, and act as an advisor to management and customers on technical research studies and applications.

Job Duties

  • Applying advanced technical principles, theories, and concepts, and contributing to the development of new principles and concepts.
  • Analyze various types of flight/fault logs, assign Fault Identification (FID) codes, and host customer BIT Review Boards (BRB)
  • Coordinate with stakeholders, suppliers, and customers, internally and externally, in support of improving Built-In-Test (BIT) Fault Detection, Fault Isolation and BIT False Alarm performance metrics
  • Develop models and scalable algorithms derived from both data and underlying physics of failure models to evaluate the condition of Mission and Air Vehicle systems
  • Create predictive models of physical degradation, failures, and data-driven prognostics algorithms to assess the health and performance of critical components
  • Formulate health monitoring strategies to detect anomalies/outliers in real flight data
  • Conduct research and development projects concentrating on Prognostic Health Management (PHM) and Condition Based Maintenance Plus (CBM+)
  • Gather and analyze component and WRA failure history, including failure modes, downtime, MTBF, power cycles, reboots, repeat faults, etc.
  • Address complex questions regarding fleet usage and behavior to facilitate proactive monitoring, enhance reliability, and minimize field failures
  • Effectively communicate and present to project and program management, and other technical and non-technical managers and customers
  • Work collaboratively in a team environment with other highly motivated system engineers and data scientists

Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s Degree from an accredited college in a relevant STEM discipline with 8 years of experience; OR a Master's Degree in a STEM field with 6 years of experience; OR a STEM PhD with 4 years of experience
  • Experience within Aircraft and Ground Systems Health Management, Prognostics, Diagnostics, and/or Reliability & Maintainability Engineering disciplines
  • Previous experience, including academic research, directly related to the development of Prognostics Health Management (PHM) or Condition Based Maintenance Plus (CBM+) technologies, or analysis and simulation of complex electrical or mechanical systems
  • Work experience with anomaly/outlier detection in time series data
  • Your ability to transfer and maintain the final adjudicated DoD Secret clearance, and any program access(es) required for the position within a reasonable period of time, as determined by the company.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Strong background in data analysis (algorithms, data structures, and architectures), probability, statistics, signal processing, and predictive modeling
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Visio, Project, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel Office Products
  • Strong programming skills, preferably in Python and its numerical and data libraries (pandas, scipy, numpy, etc.)
  • Work experience with big data tools (Databricks, Presto, Data Lake, Apache Spark, etc.)
  • Work experience developing visualization tools and dashboards using Tableau
  • Familiarity with fault detection and diagnosis methods, and reliability analysis
  • Experience with MLOps and building machine learning pipelines in a professional setting
  • Demonstrated history of generating new ideas or improving existing ideas in statistical modeling or machine learning, indicated by accomplishments such as first-author publications or projects
  • Experience with data architectures in relation to how to store, fetch, and manipulate data (SQL, custom APIs, etc.)
