Description

At Northrop Grumman, our employees have incredible opportunities to work on revolutionary systems that impact people's lives around the world today, and for generations to come. Our pioneering and inventive spirit has enabled us to be at the forefront of many technological advancements in our nation's history - from the first flight across the Atlantic Ocean, to stealth bombers, to landing on the moon. We look for people who have bold new ideas, courage and a pioneering spirit to join forces to invent the future, and have fun along the way. Our culture thrives on intellectual curiosity, cognitive diversity and bringing your whole self to work — and we have an insatiable drive to do what others think is impossible. Our employees are not only part of history, they're making history.

The Software Engineering Manager 2 will lead a team of individual contributors developing software for a cryogenic superconducting quantum computer. The manager will be aligned with one or more technical areas—such as quantum control and firmware, instrumentation and lab software, job orchestration, verification and validation, process monitoring, or platform reliability—and will spend approximately 80% of their time contributing technically through architecture, design, implementation, integration, troubleshooting, and technical reviews. The remaining 20% will focus on functional management, including staffing, performance management, employee development, workload planning, and coordination with physics, hardware, systems, test, and operations teams. The successful candidate will combine hands-on engineering depth with the leadership skills required to deliver reliable, secure, maintainable software for timing-critical quantum control and cryogenic operations.

Key roles and responsibilities include:

  • Lead a team of 8-12 technical staff in management role.
  • Work in cooperation with program management to track execution and provide technical leadership to the team/pod.
  • Support administrative management responsibilities including staffing, performance evaluation, career development, and salary planning.

Basic Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related STEM discipline with 8+ years of relevant software engineering experience; Masters degree in STEM discipline with 6+ years of relevant software engineering experience; PhD with 4+ years of relevant software engineering experience.
  • Demonstrated experience designing, developing, integrating, and troubleshooting complex software systems using languages such as C, C++, Rust, or Python.
  • Technical expertise in at least one relevant area: real-time or embedded control, distributed systems and orchestration, instrumentation and data acquisition, automated verification, process monitoring, DevOps, or SRE.
  • Experience leading software engineers through technical planning, design reviews, code reviews, integration, testing, and delivery.
  • Ability to translate system requirements and hardware constraints into software architectures, interfaces, implementation plans, and verification approaches.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across software, systems engineering, physics, hardware, test, cybersecurity, and program leadership teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical discipline.
  • Prior experience as an engineering manager, technical lead, product owner, or integrated product team lead with responsibility for employee development and technical execution.
  • Experience with quantum computing, superconducting qubit control, cryogenic systems, RF electronics, pulse sequencing, calibration, or real-time feedback systems.
  • Experience integrating laboratory instruments and control hardware using protocols or frameworks such as SCPI, VISA, gRPC, message queues, or vendor-provided SDKs.
  • Experience with production engineering practices, including CI/CD, automated testing, hardware-in-the-loop testing, configuration management, containers, Kubernetes, observability, incident response, and release management.
  • Experience delivering software in a regulated, mission-critical, high-reliability, or controlled engineering environment, including requirements traceability, cybersecurity, quality assurance, and formal verification practices.

Primary Level Salary Range: $161,100.00 - $241,700.00

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
