Description

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.

Northrop Grumman Microelectronics Center (NGMC) Misson Systems Emerging Capabilities Development area seeks to fill a Staff Semiconductor Process Integration Engineer position within our Advanced Technology Lab (ATL). ATL is located just outside of Baltimore, MD - where we design, manufacture, and test semiconductor products for internal and commercial production as well as emerging programs. We have over 21,000 square feet of Class 100 wafer fabrication cleanroom that supports variants of Si;
SiGe;
GaAs;
SiC.

At Northrop Grumman’s Advanced Technology Lab – VARIETY describes the work that our process integration team enjoys. The process integration team at ATL has the chance to work on both production and development programs, as well as troubleshooting and process improvements. Many people on our process integration team work on more than one product/program at once and have exposure to other products as well.

The semiconductor process integration group is also an integral part of the foundry process, interfacing with multiple other foundry groups on a daily basis.

Roles and Responsibilities:

The Staff Semiconductor Process Integration Engineer will be focusing on Superconducting Electronics with opportunities to connect with multiple advanced technologies. The Process Integration Engineer must have an understanding of basic semiconductor processing, especially in Back End of Line (BEOL) process integration with knowledge in yield improvement and defect reduction. This candidate must have an aptitude for hands-on laboratory and experimental work.

Excellent verbal and written communication skills are required. The successful candidate may also support program execution for programs within the Micro Systems Technologies portfolio.

Join us for the chance to work with an amazing, experienced, and talented team. We are expanding with new work on many development and production programs.
