Description
At Northrop Grumman, our employees have 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 history, they're making history.
Northrop Grumman's Space Sector (NGSP) is seeking either a Principal Agile Product Owner (Front-End Focused) Software Engineer (T03) or Senior Principal Agile Product Owner (Front-End Focused) Software Engineer (T04) to join our Manhattan Beach, CA, Software and Controls Department which has 200+ Software Engineers, DevOps Engineers, Systems Administrators, Database Administrators, and Network Engineers from entry-level to the most senior chief engineers and architects.
This engineering organization supports numerous programs and we have plenty of opportunity for career advancement into higher level technical roles or leadership positions. We are part of a larger local engineering organization that includes Systems Engineering and Hardware Engineering staff. This overall local engineering organization influences cross-program collaboration, professional development and training, as well as engagement and inclusion activities such as lunch-n-learns, campus events, and leadership mixers.
This is an on-contract program we call "Starfleet" that is supporting a critical national security mission that is both in development and operations. This program has distributed team members located at several other Northrop Grumman sites across the US as well as at collaborating partner company sites. Some of the program's baseline and environments are unclassified allowing some software development outside of our secure facilities yet still on-site and in-person. The overall team is composed of software developers organized into agile scrum teams each with Product Owners and Scrum Masters then overall lead by a Chief Product Owner, Chief Scrum Master, Chief Engineer, and Chief Architect. The program's culture is agile, fast-paced, high performing, proactive, collaborative, and welcoming of new ideas, technologies, and tools that could benefit the mission or help the team be more productive or produce a higher quality product.
