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.
The Northrop Grumman Mission Systems (NGMS) Microelectronics Design and Applications (MDA) pushes the boundaries of innovation, redefines the leading edge of exotic new technologies, and drives advances in the sciences. One of our most challenging new fields is Transformational Computing, which combines the unique properties of superconductivity and quantum mechanics to develop radical, new energy-efficient computing systems. Our team is chartered with providing the skills to transform computing beyond Moore's Law, advancing development of computer architectures, processing/memory subsystems, and large-scale high-performance computing systems.
The Northrop Grumman Microelectronics Center (NGMC) is seeking a senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join our team of qualified, diverse individuals who will be responsible for the project management of various mechanical design efforts, such as microelectronics packaging design, cryogenic component design, and other related efforts. A Mechanical Design Engineer interfaces with a multidisciplinary set of team members and subject matter experts on the program to best understand the desired product. In this role, you will direct the complete product development process, from gathering requirements, developing conceptual and final designs, presenting to internal customers, managing personal deliverable schedule, coordinating with supply chain as required, developing a bill of materials (BOM), overseeing the build of and ultimately managing the configuration of the completed product. You will direct the design phase of a project and should be skilled in the use of standard design tools, such as 2D CAD platforms (preferably AutoCAD), and 3D CAD platforms (preferably Siemens NX or SolidWorks). You must be able to obtain and maintain a TS/SCI clearance requiring a CI polygraph.
This position requires work onsite at our Linthicum, MD and/or Annapolis Junction, MD facilities.
