Our culture thrives on intellectual curiosity, cognitive diversity and bringing your whole self to work — and we have an insatiable drive to do what others think is impossible.

Northrop Grumman Microelectronics Center (NGMC) of Northrop Grumman Mission Systems is seeking a Technical Services Project Manager for our Advanced Technology Lab (ATL) - located outside of Baltimore, Maryland – where we design, manufacture, and test semiconductor products for internal and commercial production customers as well as emerging technology programs. Northrop Grumman’s ATL semiconductor foundry is a unique capability supporting a range of production microelectronic devices (Silicon, Gallium Arsenide, Gallium Nitride, Silicon Carbide, Carbon Nanotubes) and providing leading edge technology development in superconducting electronics. Our devices enable a number of Northrop Grumman’s ground-based radars, avionic radars, and space systems. Our multidisciplinary foundry team enables activities from development to sustainment process engineering. ATL is responsible for all aspects of semiconductor technology including design, mask making, wafer fabrication, test, and assembly.

As a member of the ATL Foundry Equipment Engineering team, the Technical Services Project Manager will lead and direct multiple semiconductor process equipment installations and their associated facilities projects.  They will prepare project execution plans and coordinate activities between global supply chain, tool installation contractors, and ATL Equipment/Facilities Engineering personnel. They will monitor project completion from initiation through equipment commissioning to meet timeline, scope, and cost projections.  The Technical Services Project Manager will oversee projects or engagements and typically utilizes management skills more than technical skills.  They will provide technical and analytical guidance to project team(s) and identify areas of risk to project time, scope, and cost. Responsibilities include setting and managing stakeholder expectations, defining and tracking project scope, understanding project risks and providing regular status updates. The Technical Services Project Manager will also be expected to generate relevant supply chain and supporting documentation and participate in bidding and contract awarding process. Minimal travel - one to three short trips per year. #NGATL
