Our Manassas, Virginia team has an opening for a microelectronics hardware engineer to develop the most advanced radiation hardened computer processors, ASICs, and FPGAs to support our Space Systems line of business. We are seeking team players with strong interests in ASIC physical design, and also familiarity with Design for Test (DFT), computer architecture, digital logic, VLSI, custom IC design, design verification, digital system testing, re-configurable computing, or systems on a chip.

You would be a member of the team whose products have been deployed in commercial, civil and national security space missions; including GPS, weather monitoring, satellite TV and radio, exploring the universe; most notably the Mars rovers, Spirit and Opportunity. Additional work opportunities would include electronic warfare technology to deliver superior situational awareness, even in the most complex battlespace - defeating threats long before they can be seen. With this job, you will have the opportunity to be an integral part of developing hardware from concept to deployment.
