First and foremost, you want to be open and honest about any other positions you are in the running for and where you are in the interview/offer process. Let them know if you have any timelines on decisions outside of Northrop Grumman. You can also answer this without giving details about who you are interviewing with, what position it is for, and what the compensation would be. If you are fortunate enough to have options, express that Northrop Grumman is your employer of choice.

"Yes, I have been interviewing with another organization for an entry-level engineering role and just recently received an offer in hand. I have a month to decide on the offer. Can you discuss your timeline for a decision moving forward following my interview today?"
