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, 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. Our employees are not only part of history, they're making history.

The Northrop Grumman Microelectronics Center (NGMC) of Northrop Grumman Mission Systems is seeking an independent and resourceful Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) Process Engineer.

Advanced Technology Lab (ATL) - located outside of Baltimore, Maryland – is where we design, manufacture, and test semiconductor products for internal and commercial production customers as well as emerging technology programs. Northrop Grumman’s ATL semiconductor foundry has unique capabilities supporting a range of production microelectronic devices (Silicon, Gallium Arsenide, Gallium Nitride, Silicon Carbide, Carbon Nanotubes) and providing leading edge technology development in superconducting electronics.

Our devices enable a number of Northrop Grumman’s ground-based radars, avionic radars, and space systems.

Join us for the chance to work with an experienced and talented team while helping serve your country. Enjoy the opportunity to grow and learn with a variety of challenging projects in production, R&D, ongoing long-term programs, and new programs targeting future military platforms.

Our multidisciplinary foundry team enables activities from development to sustainment process engineering. ATL is responsible for all aspects of semiconductor technology including design, mask making, wafer fabrication, testing, and assembly.

The 1st shift Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) Process Engineer will be responsible for:

• All aspects of sustaining existing CVD processes for a development line including process qualifications and technician training.
• Interfacing with other unit process engineers, operations, and integration engineers during the design and execution of process/equipment improvement projects.
• Developing CVD processes for new materials.
• Developing new CVD processes for emerging technologies in both microelectronics and superconducting electronics.
• Writing and maintaining process documentation.
• Supporting statistical process control (SPC) and continuous improvement efforts
• Performing all other related duties as assigned
