Defense contractor Northrop Grumman trims South Bay jobs, will shut San Jose complex
Briefly

Northrop Grumman is closing its San Jose facility at 6379 San Ignacio Ave., eliminating 78 positions across Northrop Grumman Info Systems. The closure stems from a program winddown and location consolidation; the specific program was not disclosed. Layoffs are planned in three stages: Oct. 31 this year, Jan. 29, 2026, and June 30, 2026. The company stated the plant closure will be permanent, though some workers may be matched with other opportunities within the company. Employees lack bumping rights and are not union-represented. The closure follows broader Bay Area tech losses, including 2,500 jobs in July and 6,700 statewide estimated by Beacon Economics using state EDD data.
