Northrop Grumman | Multiple Software & Hardware Engineering Roles | Full-Time (Some Part-Time) | All 50 U.S. States | Some Remote Options but Mostly Onsite | https://www.northropgrumman.com/careers/

Hi everyone, my name is Rich and I'm a Software Engineer at Northrop - not a recruiter or in HR. We have teams across the U.S. that work on some really interesting projects. For example, did you know Northrop Grumman was a prime contractor for the James Webb Space Telescope? We designed & developed the sun shield and also integrated the final spacecraft build. Check it out: https://www.northropgrumman.com/space/james-webb-space-teles...

We have jobs for all ranges of experience - from new grads to seasoned professionals. A lot of positions require a security clearance but there are a lot that don't so you can definitely find something that fits what you'd like or want to do. Can honestly say that I've personally learned a lot working here and had the chance to take training classes led by brilliant engineers.

I'm a longtime reader/lurker here on HN and would be happy to talk to anyone interested in working for NG. Feel free to reply with your contact info and I'll reach out as soon as I can.

Full disclosure: some jobs here have referral bonuses so if you see a job you match up with and feel like helping out a future co-worker, ping me about the position and let me give you a referral before you apply yourself. Don't have to, just if you're feeling nice. :)

Hey there! I'd love to learn more but I don't see any contact info :).

I'm really interested in NG and would love an email if you're ever free. My email is at fs8124@proton.me!

Hi Rich,

My experience is in Mechatronics and I am bridging into programming from the mechanical engineering side of things. I am wondering if you have any experience with those roles at Northrop? In a sense I have found bigger companies mostly have dedicated hardware teams and dedicated software teams and it has been more difficult to find roles where I can do both at the larger defense companies. Is Northrop somewhere I could go to have an experience like this? I am a Recent Grad, So Cal, Master's degree and US citizen.

Hi Rich, Greetings. This is Yuhang, my email is yuhangyang.work@gmail.com. I'm looking for a software engineer position, if possible, could you share your email so I could forward my resume to you for any potential fits? Thanks a lot in advance.

I'm local to the Northrup Grumman location in Brigham City Utah and just came onto the market. I'm a 9-year veteran software developer largely experienced in Python web systems and cloud. I'd like to see what's available.

I know your profile says you are not here for NG in an official capacity, but it might not be a bad idea to put your contact info there. Otherwise you might get a lot of replies. I think HN prefers "Who's Hiring" so be lean and clean (and yes, I know this reply is paradoxical).

> A lot of positions require a security clearance

as somebody who had all their SF-86 data stolen in the OPM breach some years back, this is not a fun process unless there is a LOT of money involved. Or something very special. Think long and hard before you start the process on this.

I didn't see any contact info in your profile, but I am definitely interested. Feel free to email me Etp256@nyu.edu

Hi Rich, I'm interested! I am an entry level software engineer transitioning from Mechanical Engineering. Here's my Linkedin if you'd like to connect - https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathrynbakalova/

How long does it take for HR to reach out to candidates?

Sounds like you might be a good fit if that's what you'd like to do! I'm pure SWE but work with many EEs and MEs (even one Chemical Engineer) who moved into software. Regardless, we work closely with the hardware folks so there's a lot of opportunities for your engineering skills at Northrop. Let me know if you'd like some help trying to narrow down a few open positions!

So are you closer to the Corrine location or Roy? I'm not that familiar with the area but just did a quick search in our internal portal and see several jobs that may match if you're looking for Python development.

>>EFreet+Rt
Yeah, that's probably a good idea lol...

>>bmo333+fn1
It just depends but they usually are very prompt with replies. Did you apply for something and are waiting to hear back? It's probably the recruiter that will reach back out but I'd be happy to ping someone for you if you're in a time crunch for an answer.

>>rm_ng+pZ3
I'll check that out. I'm near to Corinne but Roy isn't far.

Let's try this out: chandler150@codedev.us.to

Please reach out to connect and I have a few questions we can go over. I've been checking the boards regularly.
