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 - and we have an insatiable drive to do what others think is impossible. Our employees are not only part of history, they're making history.Expand your horizons, advance your career, and contribute to a secure future for generations. Northrop Grumman’s Space Sector invites you to bring your pioneering spirit to our collaborative teams. As an eCad Electrical Engineer - Level 3 or Level 4 located in Dulles, VA, you’ll be a linchpin in missions of paramount importance, defining the art of the possible from day one. This position is 100% onsite and cannot accommodate telecommute work.
We are seeking an engineer specializing in PCB layout design to join our growing team of qualified, diverse professionals. In this role, you will focus exclusively on board-level layout responsibilities-this is not a schematic design position. You will work closely with design engineers to implement high-reliability, multilayer circuit boards for spaceflight hardware, applying best practices and aerospace standards. If you’re passionate about layout precision, spaceflight reliability, and pushing design boundaries, this is your mission.
This position will work a 9/80 schedule, with every other Friday off.
Job responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:
Own the end-to-end PCB layout process using Cadence Allegro PCB Designer.
Develop multilayer, high-density interconnect (HDI) and controlled impedance layouts optimized for space environments.
Create and maintain PCB symbols, footprints, and padstacks in accordance with internal library standards.
Work closely with electrical and mechanical engineer to ensure layout meets electrical, mechanical, and thermal constraints.
Implement high-speed routing techniques including differential pairs, length tuning, and EMI/EMC compliance practices.
Support RF and mixed-signal layout requirements, including:
Controlled impedance and matched-length RF signal traces
Proper isolation and grounding strategies for RF sections
Minimization of parasitic effects, signal loss, and coupling across layers
Placement and routing for connectors, antennas, or filters used in RF paths
Incorporate blind/buried vias, microvias, and stackup design for rigid/flex and complex assemblies.
Generate fabrication (Gerber, ODB++) and assembly files, release documentation, and participate in design reviews.
Apply NASA-STD-8739 and IPC-2221/2222 layout standards for space-rated hardware.
Participate in DFM/DFX reviews with manufacturing partners to ensure layout readiness for fabrication and assembly.
Collaborate with engineers to define layout constraints, clearance rules, and placement strategies.
Drive quality through internal peer reviews, ECAD checklist adherence, and continuous layout optimization.
