Associate ASIC/FPGA Design or Verification Engineer

Job Description

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 to join us as part of our Boeing Electronic Products team at the heart of Boeing’s products in either El Segundo or Huntington Beach, CA. An alternative location that may become available based on program needs could be Fairfax, VA.

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!

We leverage leading-edge technology and work with world-class partners to provide some of the most complex SoCs in the world.  We develop robust, high-performance custom processors using the latest ARM IP to enable high-integrity, low SWAP-C flight computers. We apply the latest digital IC design processes with industry-best tools to enable applications which cut across every domain.

Our diverse development portfolio provides opportunities to learn with exposure to the breadth of the Boeing product line – approximately half our design work is within the Space & Launch business unit, and half is from other parts of Boeing (AvionX; Missiles & Weapons; Strike, Surveillance and Mobility; and Autonomous Systems).

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’re hiring design and verification engineers at the entry and associate levels to support new and existing projects.  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 various other Boeing sites.

Position Responsibilities may include:

• Develop FPGA/ASIC designs supporting design and/or verification teams

• Implement FPGA/ASIC with latest design practices and tools from block-level micro-architecture, through HDL coding, and physical design realization (through gate-level netlists for ASIC designs)

• 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, and leverage UVM to build agents consisting of drivers, sequencers, monitors, and use of predictors together with scoreboards for checking correctness.

• Support 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 

This position is expected to be 100% onsite.  The selected candidate will be required to work onsite at one of the listed location options.
