Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Provide manufacturing engineering guidance for producibility, tooling, assembly sequences, and corrective actions. Design-for-manufacturing reviews, develop work instructions, improve shop floor efficiency, and collaborate with engineering to ensure affordable, producible aerospace components. On-site role supporting production engineering and operations with occasional travel and security clearance needs.

Lead and execute flight test activities: plan tests, develop and peer-review procedures, run formal/non-formal tests, analyze post-test data, create reports/problem reports, and lead moderate-sized test events while supporting shift work and flight test meetings.

Analyze and improve manufacturing operations using data analytics, metrics, and visualizations. Lead digital transformation, optimize product flow and scheduling, align SAP/MRP systems, perform time studies, capacity modeling, SPC and capability analysis, build scalable models and dashboards, communicate requirements with IT/ERP/data teams, and support on-site manufacturing with occasional travel.

Develop and validate GN&C algorithms and guidance laws, build high-fidelity 6-DOF simulations, perform trajectory/covariance/CEP analyses, integrate algorithms into flight software, and support testbeds and flight test transition in a multidisciplinary team.

Serve as Northrop Grummans senior contractor flight test lead at Patuxent River. Coordinate test strategies with program leadership, oversee flight test planning, safety, operations, and reporting; manage cost, schedule, and technical performance using EVMS; support proposals and business development; liaise with host squadron, PMA, and IPT to achieve program goals.

Support flight test activities including test planning, procedure development and review, test execution, data analysis, problem report creation, and reporting. Lead moderate-sized test efforts, attend flight test meetings, support multi-shift schedules, and produce required test artifacts while collaborating with the Flight Test Team.

Serve as Northrop Grumman's senior on-site flight test lead at Patuxent River. Coordinate test strategy with T&E leadership and program managers, oversee flight and mission systems testing, manage test cost/schedule/technical performance and budgets using EVMS, support proposals and business development, ensure safety and test planning, and liaise with host squadron and PMA.

Lead systems engineering for space programs: produce technical content for program milestones, author deliverables, model mission-level elements and design reference missions, perform analyses (propellant budgets, RF link budgets, lifetime estimates), develop analysis tools, and manage requirements and interfaces across disciplines.

Lead engineering execution across spacecraft development lifecycle; manage IPTs, budgets, schedules, EVMS/EAC/IMS, risk/opportunity, subcontractors, and stakeholder briefings to ensure technical, cost, and schedule commitments are met.

Develop and validate GN&C algorithms, autopilots, and high-fidelity 6-DOF flight simulations. Design strap-down inertial navigation with GPS and Kalman filters, perform trajectory, covariance and CEP analyses, tune control laws, enhance GN&C toolchains, support flight test programs, and work with flight software teams to transition algorithms into flight-qualified implementations.
