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 Sr. Staff Manufacturing / Process Modeling Systems Engineer with a demonstrated ability to develop flexible and detailed simulation models, identify and resolve chokepoints, and collaborate with 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 program decision makers.
* Develop, vet, and document, robust simulation models to validate and optimize production systems and shop floor logistics in a 3D visualization environment.
* Interface with talented manufacturing operators, test teams, technical leads, and program management to gather necessary data to build and assess models.
* Ensure technical, schedule, and budget compliance and alignment with the program Statement of Work (SOW) and system requirements.
* Develop and present detailed manufacturing model reports of a production process to program management and technical stakeholders to obtain feedback and concurrence for implementing process improvements
* Provide mentorship and expert guidance to junior systems engineers
This position is contingent on clearance.
This position will serve on-site in Linthicum / Annapolis Junction, MD.
