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. Our employees are not only part of history, but they're also making history. Northrop Grumman Mission Systems is seeking a Principal/ Senior Principal Analog Integrated Circuit Design Engineer to join our team of qualified, diverse individuals. This position will be located onsite in Linthicum, Maryland.

Roles and Responsibility:

The EDIC group delivers full-custom ICs to provide the core functionality of our Advanced Multifunction Sensor products. In support of that activity, we are seeking a Principal/Sr. Principal Analog Integrated Circuit Design Engineer for design and implementation of the analog circuits which provide regulated voltages currents and sense RF signals as well as other circuit operating conditions. The analog parameters are supplied in digital form for use by the host system to allow accurate control, test and instrumentation. Most of our designs operate at radio and microwave frequencies but we also design circuits to operate in the optical frequency range from Long Wave IR to the visible part of the spectrum. For these circuits the analog circuitry is in the primary signal path and provides wide dynamic range signal processing and conversion

This requisition may be filled as a Principal Analog Intergrated Design Engineer or Senior Principal Analog Intergrated Design Engineer

This position is contingent upon the ability to obtain and maintain an active DoD Secret Clearance or the transferal of an active DoD Secret Clearance and contract award.
