Principal Engineer/Senior Principal Engineer RF Microwave Design - R10210903
role at
Northrop Grumman
Description At Northrop Grumman, our employees have incredible opportunities to work on revolutionary systems that impact people’s lives around the world today, and for generations to come. Our pioneering and inventive spirit has enabled us to be at the forefront of many technological advancements in our nation's history—from the first flight across the Atlantic Ocean to stealth bombers and to landing on the moon. We look for people who have bold new ideas, courage, and a pioneering spirit to join forces to invent the future, and have fun along the way. Our culture thrives on intellectual curiosity, cognitive diversity, and bringing your whole self to work—and we have an insatiable drive to do what others think is impossible.
Today’s dynamic global security threats require solutions both big and small—solutions living within the Northrop Grumman Microelectronics Center (NGMC). Boasting state‑of‑the‑art design capabilities, multiple processing nodes, electrical testing, environmental and QCI screening, and failure analysis, the NGMC is a leader in designing, fabricating, packaging, and delivering discriminating microelectronics to the military, aerospace, and commercial markets. For more than 70 years, we have been offering a wide range of trusted foundry and semiconductor services that deliver high performing and reliable microelectronics. Our wide breadth of technologies and capabilities allow us to provide our customers with unique “More than Moore” solutions.
One of our most challenging new fields is Microelectronics Design and Applications (MDA), which combines the unique properties of superconductivity and quantum mechanics to develop radically new energy‑efficient computing systems. Our team is chartered with providing the skills to transform computing beyond Moore’s Law, advancing development of computer architectures, processing/memory subsystems, and large‑scale high‑performance computing systems.
What you’ll get to do
Designing, modeling, and verifying RF, microwave, and mixed signal subsystem assemblies
Support verification efforts for RF, Analog, and Digital hardware designs
Collaborating with peer functions such as Mechanical, Manufacturing, Test, and IC design Engineers
Deriving and trading requirements with subsystem engineers and component level designers
Working directly with component level design peers developing custom RF integrated circuit designs to meet assembly‑level requirements
This position will serve 100% on‑site in Linthicum, MD. This position will be filled at either the Principal RF Engineer or Senior Principal RF Engineer level based on the qualifications below.
