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.

At the heart of Defining Possible is our commitment to missions.

Infrastructure Design
Design scalable, redundant, and highly available IT solutions for on-premises, co-location, and cloud environments.

Ensure all systems have current backups and documented disaster recovery procedures.
Maintain documentation for workstations, servers, routers, firewalls, switches, and telephony equipment.
Perform root cause analysis and resolve networking, authentication, and application issues.
Program & Stakeholder Support
Interface with project managers, architects, technical specialists, and customer representatives.
Support IPT leadership: scheduling, status reporting, and meeting coordination.
Participate in program reviews: SRR, PDR, CDR, SVR, TRR — prepare and present technical materials.
Communicate technical content effectively — written and verbal — to internal and customer teams.
Basic Qualifications:
2 Years of relevant experience with a Bachelors degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related STEM discipline OR Masters degree.
Candidates must have a current U.S. Government Secret levelsecurity clearance (or higher) in order to be considered.
Candidates must have the ability to obtain a U.S. Government TopSecret level security clearance as a condition of continued employment.
2–5 years in IT Systems Engineering, Systems Architecture, or related field.
Hands-on experience with IT infrastructure, virtualization, cloud, or OT/manufacturing IT environments.
Working knowledge of NIST, CMMC 2.0, DFARS, and applicable DoD IT standards.
Strong written and verbal communication; ability to present to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications:
Proficiency with hypervisors (VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix) and VDI platforms (VMware Horizon).
Familiarity with on-premises and co-location designs, including redundancy, high availability, and backup/DR.
Hands-on exposure to AWS, Azure, or GCP (IaaS/PaaS); experience with cost optimization of cloud resources.
Knowledge of TCP/IP, VLANs, routing, firewalls, and network design in classified/unclassified environments.
MBSE Tools — Familiarity with Cameo, Orbus, or equivalent model-based systems engineering platforms.
Requirements Management — Experience with DOORS or requirements traceability matrix (RTM) tools.
Test & Verification — Ability to develop, execute, and document test plans with full requirements traceability.
