About the role

Northrop Grumman in Chandler, AZ seeks a GNC Engineer: Autopilot to design, verify, and test 6DOF simulation models and missile flight code. You’ll contribute to guidance algorithms, autopilot parameters, and control systems in C++, MATLAB, and Python on Linux. The role emphasizes hands-on development, mentoring early-career engineers, and occasional travel up to 10%. Onsite work with a 9/80 schedule supports a challenging, mission-driven environment.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
