Northrop Grumman Defense Systems is seeking Joint Tactical Ground Station (JTAGS) Specialists to fulfill the Field Engineer role in support of the JTAGS-Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I) (JTAGS-P3I) program based out of Colorado Springs, CO. Northrop Grumman develops and deploys the JTAGS ground processing systems worldwide that receive, process, and disseminate Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) sensor data delivering timely warnings and cueing information in support of the theater missile-warning mission. JTAGS consists of four strategically positioned detachments based in Italy, Qatar, South Korea, and Japan.
The JTAGS Field Engineer role requires a broad array of knowledge and skills heavily focused on systems administration, HW/SW troubleshooting, after-hours customer support, comprehensive corrective/preventative maintenance, intimate customer interaction, as well as routine status reporting to leadership. We are looking for a highly motivated individual with a strong work ethic and the ability to work in a high-pressure, fast-moving, dynamic environment. The candidate’s primary role will be deploying to the JTAGS operational sites to provide on-site technical support with up to 50% international travel.
Our ideal candidate will possess prior DoD missile warning experience. The selected candidate will, at times, represent Northrop Grumman and the JTAGS program at the forward locations.

Typical duties and tasks for this role are varied and moderately complex. The candidate will provide comprehensive support to the fielded JTAGS sites both from the JTAGS Support Facility in Colorado, as well as while on-site, with the ability to address/resolve most customer questions and issues in real-time.
