About the role

Northrop Grumman Corp. is seeking a Sr Principal Software Engineer for a hybrid role based in multiple CA locations including El Segundo. You will translate MATLAB LiDAR algorithms into GPU-accelerated C++ code, build LiDAR software models, and create SIL datasets while collaborating with a multidisciplinary team. The role requires strong C++ skills, MATLAB/Simulink experience, and familiarity with LiDAR data processing and sensor fusion in a lab 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.
