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

contingent on program award and associated program award funding.
Start dates are determined after funding confirmation. At Northrop
Grumman, we Define Possible. We are a passionate community of
engineers and leaders, a creative community of scientists and
researchers, a diverse community of human beings, all driven to
pioneer the future. And in Survivability, that future is bright Or,
from the enemy's perspective, it is as dark as the cover of a
moonless night.Now, imagine sitting in a stadium, or outside at a
parade, and the next generation of Stealth Technology flies
overhead, drawing a roar of admiration from the crowd. Imagine
being able to turn to the person next to you and saying "I had a
hand in that." At Northrop Grumman Aeronautics Systems and in
Survivability Engineering, that could be Your Possible. We are
tasked with developing, testing, and implementing new materials,
technologies, and concepts, that enable the most lethal,
intelligent, and collaborative systems to penetrate and operate in
enemy airspace with impunity. We work hand in hand with a broad
swath of other engineering disciplines to design, develop,
manufacture, and sustain these systems. Our responsibilities span
the full Systems Engineering lifecycle-from research and
development to modeling and analysis, from static / component test
to dynamic flight test, from manufacturing floor support to field
repairs and maintenance, and more. We work across multiple
spectrums-from RF (Radio Frequency), to IR (Infrared) and Visual,
to Acoustic. Our engineers have the opportunity to work in various
environments-behind desks, in highly specialized labs, at indoor
and outdoor test and measurement ranges, and at overseas
operational locations. Our team is absolutely critical to the
cradle-to-grave success of our cornerstone programs and the
programs of the future, and your role on our team would be equally
critical to our success as an organization. Without Survivability
Engineers, there is no Low in Low Observable. Without us, there is
