Northrop Grumman Space Systems—Missile Defense Integration offers an excellent opportunity for an Engineer Systems Test (26-007) to join our talented and diverse team. Based at Schriever Space Force Base in Colorado Springs, CO, this role is essential to supporting the U.S. President, the Secretary of Defense, and combatant commanders at the strategic, regional, and operational levels. This position does not provide relocation assistance and requires on-site work with no remote options.

The Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2

BMC) program is a key component of the Missile Defense System. It enables the U.S. president, the secretary of defense, and combatant commanders at strategic, regional, and operational levels to plan ballistic missile defense operations, monitor the battle, and dynamically control networked sensors and weapon systems to achieve global and regional mission goals. C2

BMC supports layered missile defense capabilities and serves as a force multiplier by networking, integrating, and synchronizing autonomous sensor and weapon systems and operations globally and regionally to improve performance. C2

BMC is essential for all ground and flight tests that verify and demonstrate current and future missile defense system capabilities.

The System Test Team plans and analyzes all MDS ground and flight tests in which the C2

BMC program participates. Ground test types include pairwise tests, CDI, GTI, GTD, cyber tests, SDA, and pre-flight HWIL test efforts. Flight tests are conducted with pre-determined sensors and shooters. International events comprise various ground and flight tests.

• Planning of all assigned test events, with emphasis on developing and implementing the test artifacts required for each event: test objectives, architecture, data item descriptions, defense designs, sensor resource management settings, Operational Tasking Data Link (OPTASKLINK), Air Defense Systems Integrator (ADSI) configuration and Forwarding Tables, CDS, TDACS, TRAUT TDACS, Comms Connectivity Matrices, Event Configuration Baseline (ECB).
