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's Space Systems Sector is seeking a Human Factors Engineer (HFE) to be responsible for human factors engineering and supporting Human Systems Integration (HSI) engineering activities. This HFE will serve as a key member of the HSI team for the Habitation and Logistics Outpost (HALO) Program and other Human Exploration Programs. The HFE will contribute to all HSI efforts on HALO including but not limited to; requirements engineering, technical planning, system engineering and integration, verification and validation, cost and risk assessments, and supportability/effectiveness analyses for total systems. Analyses are performed at all levels of total system product to include: concept, design, fabrication, test, installation, operation, maintenance and disposal. Ensures the logical and systematic conversion of customer or product requirements into total systems solutions that acknowledge technical, schedule, and cost constraints. Directly contribute to Task and Human Error Analyses, Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) test planning/execution/reporting, worksite analysis, anthropometric analysis, crew operating loads analysis, and requirements allocation/interface definition studies to translate customer requirements into hardware and software specifications. Support all HALO HSI and HFE related deliverables, HITL oversight, and sub-contractor interaction to ensure successful crew interface design that reduces human error. Regular interaction with customer counterparts, system users, and different sub-system engineering disciplines to ensure user needs are represented in product design while meeting necessary requirements.
