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.
Come join Northrop Grumman - Xetron, part of the Mission Systems sector, where we develop new capabilities for our military and intelligence customers around the globe. At Xetron we design systems that only science-fiction writers could imagine, because they're that cool!
Xetron is a small operating unit of the Northrop Grumman Corporation, located in Cincinnati, Ohio. Xetron is a rare example of an organization with a small business culture that is operating collaboratively with its larger parent entity. This unique relationship gives employees the chance to know everyone on site while working on cutting-edge technologies and high-impact products. You'll tackle the next generation of challenging problems, share expertise, and learn from world-class teammates. Remember when you were excited about the challenge of the problem, the importance of the solution, and the fun you had with your team? You'll experience that at Xetron! See why we receive comments on our YouTube Videos like "This company is insanely advanced" and "Wow. This is mind blowing."
We are looking for a cleared or clearable Section Manager to join our Software Engineering organization in a critical capacity. In this role you will lead a high-performing team, drive project execution, and ensure every deliverable meets the highest standards of quality and schedule.
This is a dual role position, involving functional management and software engineering. As a functional manager, you'll mentor, develop, and progress the careers of a talented team of high performing cyber software engineers. As a software engineer, you'll develop low-level software programs and provide technical leadership to your team on products that protect multi-domain intelligence and defense battlespaces - land, sea, air, cyber, and space. Many of the problem-sets our customers expect us to solve have no known solutions, so ingenuity is essential.
We prefer candidates with experience in cyber tool development, reverse engineering, and vulnerability analysis. Candidates with strong embedded software engineering experience are encouraged to apply. Ideal candidates have extensive breadth and depth of knowledge in all aspects of engineering. Less experienced candidates who demonstrate high technological aptitude with a willingness and desire to learn are equally qualified for this position.
