Principal/ Senior Principal Analog Integrated Circuit Design Engineer* to join our team of qualified, diverse individuals. This position will be located onsite in

Linthicum, Maryland.*

Roles and Responsibility:* The EDIC group delivers full-custom ICs to provide the core functionality of our Advanced Multifunction Sensor products. In support of that activity, we are seeking a* Principal/Sr. Principal*

Analog Integrated Circuit Design Engineer* for design and implementation of the analog circuits which provide regulated voltages currents and sense RF signals as well as other circuit operating conditions. The analog parameters are supplied in digital form for use by the host system to allow accurate control, test and instrumentation. Most of our designs operate at radio and microwave frequencies but we also design circuits to operate in the optical frequency range from Long Wave IR to the visible part of the spectrum. For these circuits the analog circuitry is in the primary signal path and provides wide dynamic range signal processing and conversion

Basic Qualifications for Principal Analog Integrated Design Engineer:*

B.S degree in Electrical Engineering with 5 years of relevant experience, or 3 years with an M.S degree, or 0 years of experience with a PHD

Strong transistor level circuit design and analysis skills.
