Northrop Grumman will close its San Jose plant at 6379 San Ignacio Ave., eliminating 78 positions. Northrop Grumman Info Systems, which provides information technology services to federal agencies, operates at the site. The closure is attributed to a program winddown and location consolidation, and the specific program was not disclosed. The company stated the plant closure will result in permanent separations. Layoffs are scheduled in three stages: Oct. 31 of this year, Jan. 29, 2026, and June 30, 2026. The company is attempting to match some employees to other roles, and the affected workforce is nonunion and cannot bump less senior employees. Regional data show recent broader tech job declines in the Bay Area and California.
Employees at 6379 San Ignacio Ave. are part of the cuts by the aerospace manufacturer. Northrop Grumman Info Systems, a unit of Northrop Grumman that often provides information technology services to federal government agencies, operates at the site. "Due to a program winddown and location consolidation effort, Northrop Grumman is closing its San Jose facility," Michelle Cacho, a director of human resources with Northrop Grumman, wrote in a WARN letter to the state Employment Development Department.
"The company is closing the entire plant," Northrop Grumman stated in the notice. "Because of the nature of this action, the employee separations are expected to be permanent." The EDD filing shows the layoffs are scheduled to occur in three stages: Oct. 31 of this year, and Jan. 29 and June 30, 2026. It is possible some workers might continue employment at Northrop Grumman.
