At Northrop Grumman, our employees have 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.

Northrop Grumman Mission Systems is seeking a Senior Digital Engineer in Beavercreek, Ohio to support the development of advanced electronic warfare, signal-processing, and embedded mission capabilities for military and intelligence customers. This role contributes to the design, implementation, integration, and optimization of high-performance digital solutions for systems operating in complex and contested electromagnetic environments.

Our Beavercreek team offers a highly collaborative, small-team environment within a larger enterprise. Engineers here work across integrated teams and disciplines to develop advanced technologies and products supporting critical customer missions. This role works closely with Systems Engineering, Hardware, Software, Digital Engineering, and Integration & Test to define architectures, guide implementation, solve difficult integration challenges, and deliver mission-relevant capability in a fast-paced development environment.

We are looking for a technically strong and mission-focused engineer who is comfortable owning difficult digital development problems, driving sound engineering decisions, mentoring other engineers, and contributing across the full development lifecycle from concept through integration, test, and delivery. The ideal candidate will bring strength in one or more areas such as firmware development, FPGA implementation, digital signal processing, or hardware-integrated digital systems.

Mission-Driven Work: Lead development of advanced digital capabilities supporting critical customer missions in electronic warfare and contested operational environments
Technical Leadership: Influence architecture, implementation strategy, integration approach, and design tradeoffs for real-time embedded mission systems
Hands-On Impact: Contribute directly to design, development, simulation, hardware integration, debugging, and validation of high-performance digital solutions
Cross-Functional Influence: Work across systems, hardware, software, digital engineering, and integration teams to align design decisions with mission objectives
Advanced Applications: Support real-time signal-processing and embedded solutions for advanced EW applications in complex electromagnetic environments
