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 a fourth shift Microelectronics Wet Etch Sustaining Engineer in the Wet Etch and Surface Prep Group for our Advanced Technology Lab (ATL). Located outside of Baltimore, Maryland 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 is a unique capability 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 amazing, experienced, and talented team while helping serve your country.

The qualified candidate will have knowledge of wet etch and surface prep processing for semiconductor and device fabrication. Candidate will join a production team working closely with multiple programs and area managers to support on-time delivery of products derived from a variety of silicon semiconductor technologies. As a fourth shift Microelectronics Wet Etch Sustaining Engineer/ Principal Microelectronics Wet Etch Sustaining Engineer in the Wet Etch and Surface Prep Group, you will interface with both peers and representatives from operations, equipment engineering, process integration, and program management.

You will support research, design, and development of new microelectronic, optoelectronic, micro‑electromechanical and sensor manufacturing processes with silicon materials. The candidate will utilize wet processing equipment to support development of new techniques for fabrication of semiconductor technologies and will support Process Integrators and Senior Process Engineers on development of wets processes for new devices.

Core responsibilities for this position include monitoring and maintaining wet etch processing tools, process specifications, continuous improvement initiatives, tool installation, technician training, and RCCA investigations under the supervision of senior engineers. Candidate would preferably have experience in semiconductor processing in wet etch and surface prep.
