Todd Harland White, Chief Architect at Undersea Systems and Consulting Engineer, offers engineering career advice after 44 years at Northrop Grumman.
Champions Among Us
We’ve all heard about them: elite athletes pushing the boundaries of their sports, achieving things most of us have only ever seen on TV. Like all of us, those athletes have a story and, while no two stories are the same, they tend to have some similar [...]Read More...

Connection at the Racetrack
Living 2,400 miles apart, it’s an unlikely friendship — one is a race car driver, the other a race car photographer, but connections between careers and cars brought them together.
Zooming In
Inside Northrop Grumman’s metallography lab in Redondo Beach, California, Engineer Kate Nabours and her colleagues uncover mission-critical details that are imperceptible to most people. Harnessing ultra-powerful microscopes, the close-knit team of technicians and engineers hunts for potential flaws in the microstructures — grain-like patterns visible only when magnified — of metals, alloys and other materials used in engine components, spacecraft and other products.
Finding La Familia
José is a systems engineer with a deep passion for STEM outreach and diversity, equity and inclusion.

When engineer Matt Hobbs first saw BB-8 — the ball-shaped droid from "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens" — he was impressed by the CGI. It wasn’t until Matt attended a Star Wars fan event and saw a robotic version of BB-8 rolling onstage that he started thinking about how he could engineer something similar.
