About the role

Northrop Grumman Aeronautics Systems has an opening for a Systems Engineer/Modeling Simulation 2/3 to join our team of qualified, diverse individuals within our Air Dominance organization. This role is located in Melbourne, FL.

Responsibilities

• Support the development and maintenance of system-level modeling and simulation architectures used to design, analyze, and verify complex aerospace systems.
• Aid in defining key capabilities and performance requirements for the Mod & Sim environment.
• Assist with defining external interfaces between models, simulations, and physical systems.
• Contribute to the system implementation approach and operational concept.
• Ensure Mod & Sim requirements are met and support performance evaluations in collaboration with the customer and broader engineering team.
• Help develop and maintain DoDAF and/or SysML viewpoints and model artifacts describing simulation architecture, data flows, and operational scenarios.
• Collaborate closely with vehicle/system design teams to ensure the Mod & Sim environment supports design decisions, risk reduction, and test planning.

Requirements

• Support definition and maintenance of Mod & Sim system architectures to enable system design, integration, and test.
• Perform functional analysis, basic timeline analysis, trade studies, requirements allocation, and interface definition focused on Mod & Sim capabilities (e.g., constructive/virtual simulations, SIL/HIL).
• Contribute to trade studies to compare modeling and simulation approaches, tools, and integration strategies.
• Support systems requirements analysis for the Mod & Sim environment, including performance, fidelity, and interoperability requirements.
• Develop and maintain DoDAF and/or SysML viewpoints and model artifacts describing simulation architecture, data flows, and operational scenarios.
• Collaborate closely with vehicle/system design teams to ensure the Mod & Sim environment supports design decisions, risk reduction, and test planning.

Qualifications

• Level 2: Bachelor’s degree in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) discipline with 2 years of engineering-related experience, or Master’s degree in STEM with 0 years of experience.
• Level 3: Bachelor’s degree in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) discipline with 5 years of engineering-related experience, or Master’s degree in STEM with 2 years of experience.

Skills

• Foundation in Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and architecture development (coursework, projects, or internships).
• Exposure to modeling and simulation (e.g., dynamic system modeling, simulation frameworks, or similar academic/industry experience).

Benefits

• Relocation assistance may be available.
• CLEARANCE REQUIRED FOR START: Yes
• CLEARANCE TYPE: Top Secret
• TRAVEL: Yes, 10% of the Time

Pay

• Primary Level Salary Range: $79,300.00 - $147,600.00
