This position may be filled as a Principal Digital Engineer or a Sr. Principal Digital Engineer based on the qualifications listed below.

Be part of Northrop Grumman s dynamic Digital Engineering team in Buffalo, NY. This team designs digital hardware sub-systems used in testing military radars, radar warning receivers, and jamming systems to protect the warfighter. Sub-systems include state-of-the-art custom designed and COTS circuit boards. The group develops high-speed FPGAs on custom or COTS circuit cards. The successful candidate will contribute to our digital transformation using Model-based Engineering, Dev Sec Ops  and Agile practices.

The successful candidate will be collaborative, open, transparent, and team-oriented with a focus on team empowerment, shared responsibility, flexibility, continuous learning, and automation.

• Lead the design and development of digital circuits, including circuits containing FPGAs.
• Generate and update digital system requirements and select components based on analysis of specifications and reliability.
• Use modeling and simulation tools to expedite development and testing of firmware before hardware is available.
• Develop test plans and implement rigorous testing and validation processes for digital designs to meet functionality, performance and security requirements.
• Adhere to coding standards, revision control practices, and peer review procedures.
• Conduct tests using high-speed oscilloscopes, signal generators, signal analyzers, and FPGA debugging tools, and analyze test data.
• Lead on-site testing of digital designs.
• Create engineering change orders and perform analyses (power utilization, signal integrity, etc.).
• Manufacturing engineering liaison support for production hardware testing.
• Provide support for Systems Integration and Test operations.
• Use strong interpersonal skills to work effectively within a development team to understand system-level interdependencies that impact circuit requirements and design constraints.

Note:

This position may be filled at the Principal or Sr. Principal level based on qualifications.
