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 is seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to support the development of advanced military systems. This position is well suited for an engineer with a broad electrical engineering foundation, hands-on interest in circuit design and hardware development, and a desire to continue expanding their technical depth.
The successful candidate will contribute to electrical design, analysis, integration, and test activities throughout the product development lifecycle. Work may include schematic development, circuit analysis and simulation, component selection, PWB design support, board bring-up, laboratory testing, and troubleshooting.
For candidates interested in developing further in the RF domain, this position will also provide opportunities to gain increasing exposure to RF/microwave circuit design, analysis, simulation, integration, and test.
Roles and Responsibilities
- Design, analyze, and test electrical circuits and hardware for military applications.
- Develop and review electrical schematics using electronic design and schematic-capture tools.
- Perform circuit analysis, simulation, component selection, and design verification.
- Support PWB layout and work with board designers to implement electrical design requirements.
- Support board bring-up, hardware integration, laboratory testing, and troubleshooting.
- Identify and resolve board- and system-level electrical performance, interface, component, and integration issues.
- Support RF/microwave design and analysis activities involving RF signal paths, amplifiers, filters, switches, transmission lines, impedance matching, and frequency-conversion circuitry.
- Support electrical and RF testing using applicable laboratory equipment, including oscilloscopes, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, power meters, and other test equipment.
