Consulting Chief Engineers
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (EEO, legal, etc). Must not include placeholders like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes salary range and benefits description, so we can include Pay and Benefits sections. Schedule? It mentions full-time, on-site, no remote/hybrid/telework. That's schedule info (full-time, on-site). So we can include Schedule section. Also we have Relocation assistance, clearance required, travel. Those could go under Requirements or Qualifications? Probably under Requirements or maybe a separate section like "Additional Information". But we only have allowed headings list; we can put them under Requirements or Qualifications. The posting includes "Summary Of Skills" and "Core Technical Competencies" etc. That's skills. Also "Basic Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". So we can have sections: About the role (description), Responsibilities (the bullet list of duties), Requirements (basic qualifications + clearance etc), Qualifications (maybe preferred qualifications?), Skills (core technical competencies and summary of skills). Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each section has content.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details like relocation assistance may be available, clearance required for start: Yes, clearance type: Top Secret, travel: Yes, 50% of the time. Also location: San Diego, CA. Full-time on-site, no remote/hybrid/telework. Also mention that the selected candidate will be required to work full-time, on-site at our facility. Also mention that the Chief Engineer responsibilities list.
We need to parse the posting into sections.
Let's extract:
About the role: The introductory paragraph about Northrop Grumman, Aeronautics Systems, two openings for Consulting Chief Engineers, location San Diego, CA, full-time on-site, no remote/hybrid/telework. Also mention that the Chief Engineer is responsible for technical baseline, technical authority, provides technical leadership, etc. That could be responsibilities. But we can put general description in About the role.
Responsibilities: The bullet list of duties: leading over 100 engineers in FMS portfolio or over 200 engineers in USAF portfolio through sustainment, improvement, development of new capabilities for ROK and Japan platforms. Responsible for overall execution and technical performance of portfolio comprised of members from each technical IPT (Systems Engineering, Air Vehicle, Mission Systems, Software, and Test). Oversee all major technical reviews (SRR, SFR, PDR, CDR, TRR, FRR, etc.), ensuring execution efforts delivering quality products on time and within budget. Serves as principal technical interface with the customer. Demonstrate experience and understanding of software development, avionics integration, systems engineering (including requirements analysis, modeling and simulation, verification at subsystem and system level), integration and test in both laboratory and flight test environments. Ensures Key Performance Parameters, Technical Performance Measures (First Time Quality included) are being tracked, adhered to, and satisfying customer and program requirements. Provides technical leadership and ensures that programs are identifying, reviewing, and managing risks, issues, opportunities. Ensures Systems Safety and Airworthiness compliance efforts being addressed satisfactorily throughout execution efforts of development programs. Performs critical decisions to halt and correct planned test events if system safety is compromised. Elevates issues of significant technical consequence to the Enterprise CE and to the VP of Engineering, as appropriate. Ensures robust systems engineering practices employed in establishing bids for proposals and ECPs. Reviews proposals and ECPs and approves them for technical adequacy and executability. Provides inputs to IPTs and functional home room leadership regarding performance of Engineering personnel supporting the CE and/or IPTs in executing program statement of work. Provides constructive feedback and improvement recommendations to the IPTs and to the functional homeroom as the Voice of the Customer regarding people, processes and tools.
