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. At Northrop Grumman, we Define
Possible. We are a passionate community of engineers and leaders, a
creative community of scientists and researchers, a diverse
community of human beings, all driven to pioneer the future. And in
Low Observables, that future is bright Or, from the enemy's
perspective, it is as dark as the cover of a moonless night. Now,
imagine sitting in a stadium, or outside at a parade, and the next
generation of Stealth Technology flies overhead, drawing a roar of
admiration from the crowd. Imagine being able to turn to the person
next to you and saying "I had a hand in that." At Northrop Grumman
Aeronautics Systems and in Low Observables Engineering, that could
be Your Possible. We are tasked with developing, testing, and
implementing new materials, technologies, and concepts, that enable
the most lethal, intelligent, and collaborative systems to
penetrate and operate in enemy airspace with impunity. We work hand
in hand with a broad swath of other engineering disciplines to
design, develop, manufacture, and sustain these systems. Our
responsibilities span the full Systems Engineering lifecycle-from
research and development to modeling and analysis, from static /
component test to dynamic flight test, from manufacturing floor
support to field repairs and maintenance, and more. We work across
multiple spectrums-from RF (Radio Frequency), to IR (Infrared) and
Visual, to Acoustic. Our engineers have the opportunity to work in
various environments-behind desks, in highly specialized labs, at
indoor and outdoor test and measurement ranges, and at overseas
operational locations. Our team is absolutely critical to the
cradle-to-grave success of our cornerstone programs and the
programs of the future, and your role on our team would be equally
critical to our success as an organization. We put the Low in Low
Observable and, without us, there is no Stealth in Stealth Bomber.
