Be part of Northrop Grumman's dynamic Digital Engineering team in Buffalo, NY. This team is responsible for the design of digital hardware sub-systems used in the testing of military radars, radar warning receivers, and jamming systems to protect the war fighter. These digital sub-systems consist of state-of-the-art custom designed and COTS circuit boards. This engineering group is also responsible for the development of high-speed FPGA's residing on custom or COTS circuit cards. Lead the design and development digital circuits, including circuits that may contain FPGAs. Generate and update digital system requirements and select components and equipment based on analysis of specifications and reliability. Use modeling and simulation tools to expedite development and testing of firmware before hardware is available. Develop test plans and implement rigorous testing and validation processes for digital designs to ensure functionality, performance and security requirements are met. Adhere to coding standards, revision control practices, and peer review procedures. Conduct tests using high-speed oscilloscopes, signal generators, signal analyzers, and FPGA debugging tools, and analyze test data. Lead on-site testing of digital designs. Create engineering change orders and perform fundamental types of analysis (i.e. power utilization, signal integrity, etc.). Manufacturing engineering liaison support for production hardware testing, Providing support for Systems Integration and Test operations. Use strong interpersonal skills to work effectively within a development team to understand system level interdependencies that impact circuit requirements and design constraints.
