Today’s dynamic global security threats require solutions both big and small – solutions living within the Northrop Grumman Microelectronics Center (NGMC). Boasting state-of-the-art design capabilities, multiple processing nodes, electrical testing, environmental and QCI screening, and failure analysis, the NGMC is a leader in designing, fabricating, packaging, and delivering discriminating microelectronics to the military, aerospace, and commercial markets. For more than 70 years, we have been offering a wide range of trusted foundry and semiconductor services that deliver high performing and reliable microelectronics. Our wide breadth of technologies and capabilities allows us to provide our customers with unique “More than Moore” solutions.

One of our most challenging new fields is Microelectronics Design and Applications (MDA), which combines the unique properties of superconductivity and quantum mechanics to develop radical new energy-efficient computing systems. MDA is seeking a Principal / Sr. Principal Manufacturing & Process Modeling Systems Engineer with experience developing robust simulation models and collaborating with technical stakeholders to evaluate and improve manufacturing and test capacity to support our innovative emerging supercomputing technologies at MDA.

What You’ll Get to Do:

• Improve manufacturing processes and throughput through detailed modeling, research and evaluation of relevant commercially available tools and equipment, risk assessment, new design producibility reviews, and direct communication with technical stakeholders.

• Develop, vet, and document, robust simulation models to validate and optimize production systems and manufacturing floor logistics in a 3D visualization environment.

• Interface with talented manufacturing operators, test teams, and technical leads to gather necessary data to build and assess models.

• Participate in the generation and review of manufacturing modeling artifacts.

• Collaborate closely with a small, dynamic team to advance model development, guided by an experienced senior modeling systems engineer.

This position is contingent on clearance.
