Role OverviewJoin Northrop Grumman's Aeronautics Systems team as a Principal / Sr Principal Systems Engineer - Operations Analysis AI. The selected candidate will perform operational-analysis studies with a focus on mission data-flow aggregation, dissemination, and architecture. This individual will be a subject-matter expert in mission-relevant data, its implementation across the enterprise, or the development of AI/ML solutions that accelerate data-driven decision making in multi-domain simulation environments.
What You Will Do
Model operational environments and conduct trade-studies via computer simulation. Perform operational and effectiveness analysis to quantify capability gaps. Create and apply knowledge of Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) to support blue/red kill-chains across multiple security environments, programs, architectures, and platforms.
Why It Might Be a Fit
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in AI/ML, experience with coding in MATLAB or Python, and a deep understanding of data-science fundamentals. The selected candidate will be a self-starter with familiarity working in an Integrated Product Team (IPT) construct.
