Northrop Grumman Aeronautics Systems has an opening for a Staff Systems Engineer - Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) to join our team of qualified, diverse individuals. The position will be located in Melbourne, Florida.

All programs have E3 requirements, so an E3 engineer must be capable of writing, interpreting, allocating, tailoring and flowing down E3 requirements to all design levels.

• E3 engineers interact across all phases of a program, so strong technical communication skills and a readiness to explain complex technical issues with brevity to an audience unfamiliar with the E3 topic are necessary.
• E3 engineers need to present at design reviews to internal and external customers regarding E3 issues.
• An E3 engineer must be capable of writing E3 design guidelines, developing models and performing analyses on components, subsystems and systems using EMI principles.
• E3 engineers are responsible for designing ground systems, chassis and harness shielding, EMI filters, and selecting and laying out interface circuitry for achieving EMC.
• E3 engineers are required to prepare and review E3 test procedures, E3 test reports, E3 technical analyses, E3 control plans, and participate in cross discipline design reviews for EMC.
• To verify E3 requirements, E3 engineers need to design E3 test procedures and participate in E3 testing in accordance with governmental and non-governmental standards, for example MIL-STD 461, MIL-STD 464, DO-160.
• Experienced E3 engineers at Northrop Grumman must help maintain and build on Aerospace System’s reputation for E3 expertise and quality by training and mentoring less experienced E3 engineers, design engineers across Northrop Grumman Sectors, Enterprises, and/or across the Industry.
• E3 engineers must contribute to the overall knowledge and expertise in E3 engineering capability by extending the knowledge, application, developing processes, procedures, documentation, and protocols for the practice of E3 engineering at Northrop Grumman across the Sectors, Enterprise, and/or across the Industry.
