We’re committed to fostering an environment for every teammate that’s welcoming, respectful and inclusive, with great opportunity for professional growth. Find your future with us.

We are Boeing Research & Technology (BR&T): Boeing’s global research and development team creating and implementing innovative technologies that make the impossible possible and enabling the future of aerospace. 

We are engineers and technicians, skilled scientists and bold innovators; Join us and put your passion, determination, and skill to work building the future!   #TheFutureIsBuiltHere #ChangeTheWorld

Within BR&T, Boeing’s Solid State Electronics Development organization (SSED) performs microelectronics technology development and design for aerospace systems. We develop digital, analog, and RF Systems on Chip (SoCs) for radar, navigation, electronic warfare, communications, processing, and other electronic systems. These systems are used on Boeing airborne, terrestrial, and satellite platforms. Designs are implemented with state of the art semiconductor process technologies including CMOS, GaAs, GaN, and SiGe. SSED uses external wafer fabrication but performs design (architecture, RTL, synthesis, circuits, physical design, verification, packaging and test) in house. SSED has numerous microelectronics projects, funded both by internal Boeing customers and external Government Science and Technology (S&T) customers. SSED’s large staff of microelectronics engineers conduct research and designs microelectronics hardware in support of these projects. 

We are seeking a Digital Integrated Circuit Design Engineer (Mid-Level, Senior or Lead) with experience developing complex, high-performance ASICs, FPGAs, and SoCs (e.g. custom multicore processors, digital signal processors) for military/aerospace or other safety-critical systems. This position will be located in Huntington Beach, California.

Position Responsibilities:

• Microarchitecture design and behavioral modeling (e.g. Matlab, Arm Socrates)
