Work with the T&E IPT Lead to forge data products that support GPI's execution of the Technical Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR) path to IOC. This includes forging major program artifacts such as the Verification Execution Plan (VEP), Test Execution Plan (TEP), Analysis Execution Plan (AEP), Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) input, and Hardware Utilization Matrix (HUM). Focus for this candidate will be the AEP. Work with hardware responsible engineers to establish the qualification test strategy tracing requirements to verification events including performance model anchoring in support of integrated system performance path to IOC. Support T&E IPT ownership of the development and qualification hardware utilization matrix, to include units under test, software configuration, special test equipment, and software for special test equipment Bridge the Systems Engineering Integration & Test (SEIT) Verification and Validation (V&V) “V” process through test execution. This includes working closely in support of deriving All Up Round (AUR) Environments and helping architect path to efficient Qualification / Environmental Navy Certification path to IOC. Working at Northrop Grumman is more than just a paycheck. Bachelor's degree in a STEM discipline (Science, Technology, Engineering or Math) with 8 years of related engineering experience; OR a Master's degree in STEM with 4 years of related engineering experience Interim Secret DoD security clearance, or higher - Most work is performed in a closed area Self-starter that can work with minimal guidance with the confidence to successfully engage, direct, and educate hardware leads on how they fit into the overall master test plan. This includes engineering, design verification, risk reduction, qualification, and certification testing that is specific to their hardware and ultimately augmenting the systems test. Meticulous attention to detail with the ability to be part of an integrated team tasked with defining the operational, physical, functional, and technical architecture necessary to describe the vision and desired capabilities of the GPI program effort. General understanding of how Systems Test & Evaluation fits into the Systems Engineering of major systems. Ability to communicate technical information clearly to both technical and nontechnical personnel. Active US DoD Secret security clearance, or higher. Systems Engineering background with test and evaluation experience. Willingness to work fast paced development programs Experience with tailoring and test planning to SMC-S-016 guideline Experience creating testing and maturation roadmaps to achieve a demonstrated TRL level Experience in the development of test requirements and constraints to ensure test resources are necessary and sufficient to meet program testing requirements.
