Northrop Grumman Aeronautics Systems has an opening for a Principal Air Vehicle System Test Conductor – Engineering Field Service Representative (FSR) to join our team of qualified, diverse individuals within our Test and Evaluation (T&E) organization.

This position requires 6+ months of training on a Domestic Assignment to Pax River, MD and Rancho Bernardo, CA. After training is completed, it is expected that the candidate will be available to deploy to Japan, Italy, United Arab Emirates, or Guam for a minimum of 24 months, based on current business needs. The international location will be selected by Northrop Grumman after training is completed and will be based on timing and available location(s).

Deployment benefits will be communicated once a location is selected. If no immediate international or Guam deployment location is available, the candidate may be relocated to work at one of our core U.S. locations for the immediate future.

The FSR will be embedded with a US Navy unit and be the system subject matter expert, providing training on the system hardware and software, as well as supporting the sailors in the unit with system operations, troubleshooting, and routine maintenance. The Navy’s intent is for sailors to be the primary operators and maintainers of the system, with the FSR providing training/assistance as needed to keep the system fully mission capable.

The FSR will have reach-back/liaison support from Northrop Grumman Responsible Engineering/Development/Test Engineering teams.
