Microelectronics Lab Support Engineer

Microelectronics Lab Support Engineer

The Opportunity:

Booz Allen’s mission is to empower people to change the world. Join our team and support critical government research and development programs related to microelectronics design and verification. You'll work with industry-leading engineers in world-class research facilities to impact national security investment through the new development of military applications for cutting-edge technologies. You'll maintain and leverage technical expertise and build lasting relationships in serving clients.

As a microelectronics lab support engineer, you will work with a team of engineers, scientists, and researchers to test, evaluate, and integrate the next generation of microelectronic designs critical to our national interests. You'll assist your colleagues and clients in developing testbenches to evaluate performance of in-house and commercial test articles and building test setups independently using functional and parametric testing techniques. You'll work hands-on with DC, RF, and optical test systems, manage reliability test setups, and develop innovative testing strategies. You'll conduct reliability assessments, degradation analysis, and lifetime modeling for a wide range of semiconductor devices, including digital, analog, and RF components to evaluate reliability, trust, and assurance. You’ll research and implement packaging and integration solutions by designing microelectronic components, packages, and boards for RF and reliability systems.

In this role, you'll provide technical management support and strategic assessments of new technologies to support senior DoD decision-makers, including conducting background research in evaluating the feasibility of and potential applications for new technological concepts. You'll also produce and present findings and recommendations to a team of colleagues and clients, assist with technical program management and program development, and brief materials out for government research and development efforts.

Join us. The world can't wait.
