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

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.

•    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 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 experience E3 engineers.

•    E3 engineers must contribute to the overall knowledge and expertise in E3 engineering capability by developing processes, procedures, documentation, and protocols for the practice of E3 engineering at Northrop Grumman.
