( CNN ) -- A former B-2 Bomber engineer has been sentenced to 32 years in prison for selling secret defense designs to China . Noshir Gowadia , 66 , of Maui , Hawaii , was sentenced late Monday for sharing classified defense information with China , illegally exporting military technical data , money laundering , filing false tax returns and other offenses . `` Mr. Gowadia provided some of our country 's most sensitive weapons-related designs to the Chinese government for money , '' said David Kris , assistant attorney general for the Justice Department 's National Security Division . `` He is now being held accountable for his actions , '' Kris said . `` This prosecution should serve as a warning to others who would compromise our nation 's military secrets for profit . '' Gowadia worked as an engineer with Northrop Grumman Corporation for about 17 years , according to evidence at his trial . There he helped develop features for the B-2 Spirit Bomber , also known as the `` Stealth Bomber . '' Between July 2003 and June 2005 , Gowadia made six trips to China to provide design , data analysis and test support services needed to develop a stealthy exhaust nozzle for a cruise missile system , according his trial evidence . Prosecutors said Gowadia pocketed at least $ 110,000 from China . A federal jury in Honolulu convicted Gowadia last August . Last Friday , a Michigan man was sentenced to a four-year prison term for conspiring to provide national defense information to Chinese intelligence officials , according to the Justice Department . Glenn Duffie Shriver , 28 , pleaded guilty in October to one count of conspiracy .
Noshir Gowadia was convicted in August and sentenced Monday to 32 years in jail . The case has drawn international attention because of the alleged role played by a U.S. government contractor who worked for Blackwater Worldwide as well as other private security firms that have been accused of killing civilians with impunity. Prosecutors said he was paid at least $ 110,000 for the information .
