The Tactical Space Systems division of Northrop Grumman seeks qualified candidates for the Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) team.

Job Responsibilities

• At Northrop Grumman, Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) engineers must work across diverse engineering disciplines in support of multiple space system programs. Northrop Grumman E3 engineers deliver valued oversight across all phases of a program from origin to orbit. To meet these challenges at Northrop Grumman an E3 engineer must have a strong aptitude for learning new and exciting innovations and a strong E3 skill set.
• E3 engineers interact across all phases of a program, so strong technical communication skills and a readiness to explain complex technical issues with brevity to an audience unfamiliar with the E3 topic are necessary.
• All programs have E3 requirements, so an E3 engineer must be capable of writing, interpreting, allocating, tailoring, and flowing down E3 requirements to all design levels.
• E3 engineers need to present at design reviews to internal and external customers regarding E3 issues.
• An E3 engineer must be capable of writing E3 design guidelines, developing models and performing analyses on components, subsystems and systems using EMI principles.
• E3 engineers are responsible for designing ground systems, chassis and harness shielding, EMI filters, and selecting and laying out interface circuitry for achieving EMC.
• E3 engineers are required to prepare and review E3 test procedures, E3 test reports, E3 technical analyses, E3 control plans, and participate in cross discipline design reviews for EMC.
• To verify E3 requirements, E3 engineers need to design E3 test procedures and participate in E3 testing in accordance with governmental and non-governmental standards, for example MIL-STD 461, MIL-STD 464, DO-160, NASA-GEVS-7000 and other commercial requirements.
• Experienced E3 engineers at Northrop Grumman must help maintain and build on Space System’s reputation for E3 expertise and quality by training and mentoring less experience E3 engineers.
• E3 engineers must contribute to the overall knowledge and expertise in E3 engineering capability by developing processes, procedures, documentation, and protocols for the practice of E3 engineering at Northrop Grumman.

Basic Qualifications:

A candidate, regardless of age and hiring source, must meet ALL of the below criteria. The candidate must:

• The ability to perform E3 design and analysis.

• Be majoring in Electrical Engineering or a STEM discipline
• Outstanding time-management and multi-tasking skills.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills.
• Ability to work in a team setting.

Preferred Qualifications:

• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, with a specialty in Electromagnetics, RF, or analog circuitry is preferred.
• Working knowledge and experience in modeling and simulation of E3 using commercially available software is a plus
• Design experience with EMI filters, circuit layout and analysis for E3, shielding, lightning protection, cable, and harnessing design.
• Programming experience with C language and Python scripting.
