Today's dynamic global security threats require solutions both big and small - solutions living within the Northrop Grumman Microelectronics Center (NGMC). Boasting state-of-the-art design capabilities, multiple processing nodes, electrical testing, environmental and QCI screening, and failure analysis, the NGMC is a leader in designing, fabricating, packaging, and delivering discriminating microelectronics to the military, aerospace, and commercial markets. For more than 70 years, we have been offering a wide range of trusted foundry and semiconductor services that deliver high performing and reliable microelectronics. Our wide breadth of technologies and capabilities allows us to provide our customers with unique "More than Moore" solutions.
One of our most challenging new fields is Microelectronic Designs and Applications (MDA), which combines the unique properties of superconductivity and quantum mechanics to develop radical new energy-efficient computing systems. MDA is seeking a Principal / Sr. Principal Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Systems Engineer with demonstrated ability in systems engineering and in collaborating cross-functionally to develop, maintain, and solve models of complex systems in support of our emerging supercomputing technologies at MDA.
What You'll Get to Do:

Develop and apply a detailed understanding of systems modeling, engineering, requirements analysis, and design concepts to create, assess, and operationalize MBSE approaches to solving systems architecture, engineering, and integration challenges of MDA systems.
* Develop model profiles, system diagrams, architecture frameworks, and model queries in the MBSE tools that capture and analyze systems throughout their lifecycle from concept definition through integration.
* Integrate and collaborate with multi-disciplinary technical teams to transform requirements and technical information into MBSE tools for analysis and decision-making.
* Analyze current and future systems to address capability and integration gaps and create innovative system design concepts, capabilities, and approaches for sophisticated engineering projects.
* Ensure system technical compliance with the program Statement of Work (SOW) and system requirements.
* Provide detailed, prioritized recommendations derived from analysis results to optimize system performance and ensure compliance with requirements through formal presentations to technical leads and reports.
This position is contingent on clearance.
