2At 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. 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.Are you interested in exploring a career on the cutting edge of next generation circuit design? You'll leverage your current experience and join our team of scientists and engineers in design of integrated circuits for emerging applications in low temperature environments. You’ll work in a fast-paced team environment alongside a broad array of scientists and engineers to make these design solutions a reality.The Microelectronics Designs and Applications (MDA) Business Area (BA) of Northrop Grumman Mission Systems (NGMS) is seeking motivated engineers and physicists to join our research and development design team focused on custom, low-power, low-temperature, RF, quantum, analog and mixed signal ASICs. Selected candidates will work in Northrop Grumman’s Superconducting ASIC Design team supported by our local semiconductor foundry. Candidates will be expected to contribute to knowledge transfer of mastered design techniques and/or semiconductor manufacturing/testing experience, build upon task leadership and EM simulation skills, to develop novel circuits/design techniques/best practices, and to learn systems level skills to better communicate work with different teams.What you can expect:Learn/build upon superconducting, quantum, design, and RF EM simulation techniques.Lead ASIC chip designs to product owner specification, often requiring leading junior designers to complete this task.Document and present weekly reports on design task status.Continue to learn and develop in a unique and interesting environment.Contribute to knowledge transfer to invest in building up junior designers.Complete designs in any situation regardless of complexity and deliverable date.Design leadership tasks and responsibilities include:Managing program-specific due dates and deliverables.Responsible for program related design organization.Assigning and managing chip leads.Organizing and maintaining program documentation and practices.Maintaining and improving communication inside of and out from design team.Setting up and chairing meetings for design progress.Setting up chip deadlines and design reviews.Maintaining communication between design team and external teams.Enforcing design best-practices and implementation of training and processes.Design SME tasks and responsibilities include:Collaborating with IPT leads and product lobbyists to address design issues and improve upon existing designs.Providing technical support and directives for DELs.Understanding technology and MDA BA’s goals to bring perspectives to DELs.Identifying design needs and capabilities to assist DELs in preventing scope creep.Creating, implementing, improving, and/or consulting on all aspects of design team/tool improvement.The right candidate will be comfortable in a dynamic environment with rapidly developing technologies and tools.
