Northrop Grumman Marine Systems specializes in the analysis, development, manufacture, assembly and testing of missile launching and handling systems, propulsion, and power generation systems for naval surface ships and submarines.

Northrop Grumman Mission Systems sector is seeking an Aeronautical/Mechanical Engineer 2/3 to join a highly talented, motivated, and collaborative Performance Analysis team in Sunnyvale, California. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to both current and future launcher programs through the development and application of physics-based modeling and simulation software. Candidate will assist in the development of complex mathematical models, heat transfer, hydraulic, and structural (FEA) performance assessment models for missile launching systems. Models focus on non-linear structural dynamics, gas dynamics, hydrodynamics, kinematics, heat transfer, and fluid/ structure interaction; elements required to accurately predict launch and shock performance. Candidate will also perform test data analysis for missile launch and shock tests. Candidate must be able to formally document results (e.g. technical reports, publications, presentations) and communicate effectively with internal and external customers.
