At Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better place. 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.

Boeing Space, Intelligence & Weapons Systems has an exciting opportunity for multiple ASIC and/or FPGA Design and Verification Engineers (Lead, Senior or Principal) to join us as part of our Boeing Electronic Products team at the heart of Boeing’s products; ASICs and FPGAs in Huntington Beach or El Segundo, CA.

From complex digitally beamformed phased arrays for constellation satellite programs to computing and networking equipment for commercial airplanes, the Boeing Electronic Products group develops ASICs and FPGAs that are at the heart of Boeing’s products!

As an ASIC/FPGA Engineer on the Boeing Electronic Products team you will develop state-of-the-art digital ICs/SoCs to support the most critical programs across the enterprise. We collaborate with other electronics groups across the company and around the world and support ASIC/FPGA design and verification for electronics that we build in El Segundo or for units designed at other sites.

Position Responsibilities:

• Lead FPGA/ASIC designs, including multi-FPGA/ASIC programs and teams with design and verification engineers, and manage team execution to meet program milestones
• Collaborate with customers, system engineers, and hardware engineers to drive requirements capture and architect digital logic functions to meet mission/customer needs
• Explore trade-space of potential ASIC/FPGA technologies and determine the optimal parts, weighing Schedule, Cost, Risk, Area, Power (SCRAP) vs. performance
• Implement FPGA/ASIC with latest design practices and tools from block-level micro-architecture, through HDL coding, and physical design realization
• Integrate DSP IP from Boeing’s algorithm team and third-party IP as needed
• Perform static timing analysis, LEC, CDC, linting, and other necessary checks to ensure the design is completed on schedule
• Develop Functional Coverage Models and perform Code Coverage to verify designs in simulation
• Create self-checking and reusable test benches from scratch, applying Object Oriented Programming concepts such as Inheritance and Polymorphism
• Drive FPGA-based prototyping and validation depending on program and system requirements and complexity
• Validate design through hardware integration test with special test equipment, test-beds, and higher-level systems as needed
• Train and mentor less senior engineers across the department and help build effective project teams

• Ability to executable test plans
• Proficiency with Object Oriented Programming Concepts: Inheritance, Polymorphism, etc.
• Ability to create self-checking and reusable testbenches from scratch
• Experience developing Functional Coverage Models and Closing Code Coverage
• Experience with high-speed Serdes interfaces (JESD204C, PCIe, Ethernet)
• Proficient in scripting languages: Make, Perl, Python, etc.
• Revision Control Systems: svn, cvs, git
• Proficient in Linux Environments
• Familiarity with space-based design techniques and radiation mitigation
• Demonstrated history of 1st pass success with ASIC designs
