Northrop Grumman Space Systems – Launch and Missile Defense Systems has an exciting career opportunity for a Sr Principal Software Engineer – Global Software Developer (24-274) to join our team of qualified, diverse individuals. This position will be at Schriever Space Force Base, Colorado Springs, CO.
Position Overview:
The Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) program integrates the Missile Defense System. It is a vital operational system that enables the U.S. president, secretary of defense, and combatant commanders at strategic, regional, and operational levels to systematically plan ballistic missile defense operations, to see the battle develop collectively, and to dynamically manage designated networked sensors and weapons systems to achieve global and regional mission objectives. C2BMC supports a layered missile defense capability that enables an optimized response to threats of all ranges in all phases of flight. C2BMC is the force multiplier that globally and regionally networks integrate, synchronizing autonomous sensor and weapon systems and operations to optimize performance. C2BMC is integral to all system ground and flight tests, which verify and exercise all current and future missile defense system capabilities.
The Global Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications program is a dynamic and fast-paced environment. The Software Engineer's primary responsibility is to work as a member of the Global Track Processing (GTP) software development team to design, develop, test, and investigate innovative solutions contributing to the Missile Defense program. Non-standard work hours are possible during critical events, and a small amount of travel may be required.
Essential Functions:
Must have knowledge and experience of the Global Track Processing (GTP), which is critical to the mission, and strives to present accurate global situational awareness via raw sensor data to the warfighter.
GTP is seeking a software engineer who will thrive in an environment that requires maintenance and development of Java-based applications heavily reliant on efficient algorithm development and linear algebra.
The candidate must be eager to tackle difficult problems through collaboration and comradery.
