“Please note this role is full-time and located in Exmouth, Western Australia and relocation is expected if you are not currently a local resident. ”
We are Northrop Grumman Australia. Part of an 85,000 strong global Defence organisation, over 800 talented employees in Australia are leveraging our global resources to deliver a superior Australian Defence capability. As we build our business and our capabilities, we are also building a reputation as a great place to work. Help us define what is possible for our nation, and for your career.
This is an exciting time to join our expanding team spearheading the design, supply, installation and commissioning of our cutting-edge Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability (DARC) facility, strategically located near the picturesque holiday destination of Exmouth, Western Australia.
DARC is a global network of three next-generation ground sensors, based in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Together, they will deliver a unique 24/7 all-weather capability, tracking objects in geosynchronous orbit - a testament to Northrop Grumman’s commitment to enhancing security and safety in deep space on a global scale.
Building on this momentum, we are now seeking a passionate Senior Systems Engineer Integration and Test (SEIT) to join our program. In this role, you will be integral to the success of the DARC facility, working on a project that sets new standards in space technology. This is your chance to join a team that is not only shaping the future of global defence capabilities but also pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in space exploration and monitoring.
Your Role
In the role of Systems Engineer Integration and Test (SEIT) at Northrop Grumman, you will play a crucial role in supporting the integration and test of state-of-the-art technology at the core of the DARC system. Your day-to-day responsibilities will revolve around on-site management and execution of Integration and Test (I&T) activities, encompassing the coordination and implementation of systems engineering. This role spans a variety of areas including systems, subsystems, products, and external interfaces, with a focus on requirements, design, and verification.
Your work will place you at the heart of an international collaboration, engaging with a diverse team that includes experts from the US and Australia. Collaboration is key in this position, as youll be closely working with the lead SEIT team, who are operating remotely from the work location. Your expertise in Systems Engineering principles and lifecycles, along with the capability to work effectively with defence stakeholders, will be invaluable. Your role demands the skill to identify and resolve risks and issues in a setting with limited support, ensuring the successful integration of the projects components while maintaining high levels of technical assurance and quality.
About You
With a Bachelor of Engineering (or equivalent), you bring essential qualifications or training in Systems Engineering. Your ability to be registered as a Professional Engineer with Engineers Australia adds to your profile. Practical experience working with satellite ground stations or RADAR systems will be an advantage. Your ability to collaboratively solve technical problems demonstrated by relevant practical “hands on” experience will be highly regarded. Your experience with requirements management, traceability and compliance, and associated tools, such as DOORs, and a solid background in Systems Engineering set you apart. You excel in working independently or in remote environments – able to lead where needed, while remaining a strong team player.

At Northrop Grumman, you are not just taking a job; you are becoming part of a landmark project, defining a new frontier in aerospace and committing to the highest standards of safety, quality, and technical excellence.
These exciting opportunities will require relocation to Exmouth, Western Australia and come with comprehensive relocation assistance and attractive remote working allowances to support your transition.
