Northrop Grumman Space Systems – Launch and Missile Defense Systems has an exciting career opportunity for a Principal Software Engineer (X-Lab Software Engineer) to join our team of qualified, diverse individuals. Our domain provides rewarding work that contributes to the latest advancements being made in the missile defense industry. This position work location is full-time at the Missile Defense Integration and Operations Center (MDIOC) at Schriever Space Force Base in Colorado Springs, CO.
Position Overview:
The Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) program integrates the Missile Defense System. It is a vital operational system that enables the U.S. president, secretary of defense, and combatant commanders at strategic, regional, and operational levels to systematically plan ballistic missile defense operations, to see the battle develop collectively, and to dynamically manage designated networked sensors and weapons systems to achieve global and regional mission objectives.
C2BMC supports a layered missile defense capability that enables an optimized response to threats of all ranges in all phases of flight. C2BMC is the force multiplier that globally and regionally networks integrate, synchronizing autonomous sensor and weapon systems and operations to optimize performance. C2BMC is integral to all system ground and flight tests, which verify and exercise all current and future missile defense system capabilities.
Essential Functions:
As a Principal Software Engineer on the C2BMC program you will be responsible for providing technical expertise and support in collecting and interpreting data, analyzing results, and developing new capabilities for the C2BMC software framework.
