Manager Systems Engineering 2 - Targeting Integration & Test
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: relocation assistance, clearance required, clearance type, travel etc? Those are metadata; we can fold minor metadata into short
or drop. The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with relocation assistance, clearance, travel maybe. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include description, responsibilities, qualifications, preferred qualifications, salary range, benefits, etc. Also mention that role is full-time on-site in Rolling Meadows, IL. Also mention that it's dual-role manager, 20% functional, 80% technical program work. Also mention that candidate will manage team of SEIT engineers, etc. We need sections: About the role (maybe description), Responsibilities, Requirements (basic qualifications), Qualifications (maybe preferred?), Skills (maybe list of skills), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. Let's see what we have: - About the role: we have description paragraph about Northrop Grumman, mission, etc. Also specifics: NGMS seeking manager for SEIT organization at Rolling Meadows, IL. Dual-role manager, 20% functional, 80% technical. Manage team of SEIT engineers, etc. So we can put that under About the role. - Responsibilities: we have a list of responsibilities: functional oversight for team, leadership for adherence to SEIT processes, staffing and workload forecast, employee inclusion, mentoring, training, performance review processes, recruiting, support initiatives like MBSE, PLA, Agile, as SEIT Lead/IPT Lead: engineering leadership for system architecture development, requirements development, hardware/software design, verification and validation, production program engineering support, ensuring adherence to sound engineering processes, compliance with policy, etc. So we can list these as
- .
- Requirements: Basic Qualifications: BS degree + 8 years experience or MS + 6 years experience; demonstrated leadership skills; ability to work in team; high proficiency in technical problem solving; background in tools/techniques associated with cost/schedule management (especially EVM); US citizen; ability to obtain/maintain Secret clearance; ability to obtain/maintain additional customer specified clearance. So we can list these.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications: Master's degree in relevant technical or management specialty; Active Secret/Top Secret Clearance; 5+ years related engineering experience at defense contractor during EMD/LRIP; Management experience leading teams including SE, Integration, Test; Experience in development and EVM of cost accounts and schedules; Experience working in SE, integration, test environment on complex projects hardware/software/firmware; Experience with electronic warfare, EO/IR, laser, or related defense systems; Experience in all aspects of engineering process from proposal/requirements analysis through verification testing and fielding; Proficiency in MS Project, MS Office, MATLAB, Simulink, Cameo, MBSE, Agile techniques. So we can list these under Qualifications (or maybe Skills). But we have separate Skills section; we could put technical skills under Skills. However the instruction says use sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content accordingly.
We have Requirements (basic qualifications). Qualifications (preferred qualifications). Skills (maybe list of specific tools/techniques: MS Project, MS Office, MATLAB, Simulink, Cameo, MBSE, Agile). Also maybe technical problem solving, cost/schedule management, etc. But we can keep skills separate.
Benefits: posting mentions: health insurance coverage, life and disability insurance, savings plan, Company paid holidays and paid time off (PTO) for vacation and/or personal business. Also mentions overtime, shift differential, discretionary bonus, annual bonuses, long term incentives for VP/Director (not applicable). Also mentions relocation assistance may be available. So we can include Benefits section with those.
Pay: Primary Level Salary Range: $153,800.00 - $230,800.00. Also note that base salary may consider factors, overtime, shift differential, discretionary bonus, annual bonuses. So we can include Pay.
Schedule: The role is full-time and on-site. Also mention that candidate will spend ~20% time on support, ~80% on technical program work. Also travel: Yes, 10% of the Time. So schedule could include full-time, on-site, travel 10%, time split. So we can include Schedule.
We also need to include minor metadata like relocation assistance, clearance required, clearance type, travel. Could fold into a short
maybe under About the role or separate? Probably better to include a short paragraph after About the role: "Relocation assistance may be available. A Secret clearance is required for start; ability to obtain/maintain additional customer-specified clearance. Travel required: approximately 10% of time." That preserves info. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, application instructions, etc. So we remove those paragraphs. Now produce HTML fragment: start with maybe ?? Not required. Just output the HTML fragment with headings and content. We must not include or . Just the fragment. We'll structure:
Relocation assistance may be available. A Secret clearance is required for start; ability to obtain and maintain additional customer‑specified clearance. Travel required: approximately 10% of time.

Make sure not to include empty sections. Now craft content precisely, preserving all substantive info. Let's extract description: "At Northrop Grumman, our employees have incredible opportunities to work on revolutionary systems that impact people's lives around the world today, and for generations to come. Our pioneering and inventive spirit has enabled us to be at the forefront of many technological advancements in our nation's history - from the first flight across the Atlantic Ocean, to stealth bombers, to landing on the moon. We look for people who have bold new ideas, courage and a pioneering spirit to join forces to invent the future, and have fun along the way. Our culture thrives on intellectual curiosity, cognitive diversity and bringing your whole self to work — and we have an insatiable drive to do what others think is impossible. Our employees are not only part of history, they're making history. Northrop Grumman Mission Systems (NGMS) is a trusted provider of mission-enabling solutions for global security. Our Engineering and Sciences (E&S) organization pushes the boundaries of innovation, redefines engineering capabilities, and drives advances in various sciences. Our team is chartered with providing the skills, innovative technologies to develop, design, produce and sustain optimized product lines across the sector while providing a decisive advantage to the warfighter. Come be a part of our mission! NGMS is seeking a manager for its Systems Engineering Integration and Test (SEIT) organization at our Rolling Meadows, IL location. The selected candidate will manage a team of SEIT engineers within the SEIT Targeting Department. This is a dual-role manager position, balancing the overall Functional oversight and management of a Systems Engineering group of 10-15 engineers, against performance of productive work on a program or several programs. The candidate will spend ~20% of their time on support of the organization (functional duties) and ~80% of their time on technical program work. It is anticipated that the candidate would serve in SEIT Lead / Integrated Product Team (IPT) Lead type roles in a restricted program space." We can keep that as About the role paragraph. Now Responsibilities list: From text: "The Responsibilities Associated With Managing The Team Include Functional oversight for a team of SEIT engineers working multiple initiatives including follow-on contracts, new business growth opportunities, internal research and development, and capital projects.Leadership for support and adherence to standard SEIT processes and the oversight of cost, schedule, and technical quality for SEIT execution on supported programs, including functional reviews for major milestone events (SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, etc.) and proposals as applicable.Staffing and workload forecast; employee inclusion, engagement, mentoring and career development; employee training and identification, and training of skills required to execute on programs; management and execution of employee performance review processes; and leadership and execution for a multitude of functional management processes.Recruiting new talent to meet staffing commitments.Support initiatives such as Model Based System Engineering (MBSE), Product Line Architecture (PLA), and Agile implementation that provide a competitive advantage for our customers.
