Roles and Responsibility:

The EDIC group delivers full-custom ICs to provide the core functionality of our Advanced Multifunction Sensor products. In support of that activity, we are seeking a Principal/Sr. Principal Analog Integrated Circuit Design Engineer for design and implementation of the analog circuits which provide regulated voltage currents and sense RF signals as well as other circuit operating conditions. The analog parameters are supplied in digital form for use by the host system to allow accurate control, test and instrumentation. Most of our designs operate at radio and microwave frequencies but we also design circuits to operate in the optical frequency range from Long Wave IR to the visible part of the spectrum. For these circuits, the analog circuitry is in the primary signal path and provides wide dynamic range signal processing and conversion


Basic Qualifications for Principal Analog Integrated Design Engineer:

  • B.S degree in Electrical Engineering with 5 years of relevant experience, or 3 years with an M.S degree, or 0 years of experience with a PHD

  • Good understanding of fundamental semiconductor device physics.
  • Familiarity with common analog circuits such as amplifiers, bandgap voltage references, voltage regulators as well as A/D and D/A converters.
  • Familiarity with Signal processing functions such as Integrators, differentiators, and filters.
  • Familiarity with schematic entry and simulation tools such as Cadence ADE, Explorer/Assembler, Virtuoso, and Spectre. Use of the tools to characterize DC and AC performance such as bandwidth, gain/phase margin, PSRR over process/voltage/temperature corners.
  • Should be familiar with integrated circuit layout and best practices to ensure good component matching and minimize errors due to parasitic effects.
  • Familiarity with use of IC Layout tools is not a requirement but candidates with some experience of layout implementation or a willingness to learn would be strongly preferred.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret Clearance or higher
  • Able to work onsite at Northrop Grumman facility in Linthicum, Maryland
