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 enable the future of aerospace. We are engineers and technicians, skilled scientists and bold innovators: join us and put your passion, determination, and skills to work building the future! #TheFutureIsBuiltHere #ChangeTheWorld
Within BR&T, Boeing’s Solid State Electronics Development organization (SSED) performs microelectronics technology development for aerospace systems. SSED develops digital, analog, and RF Systems on Chip (SoCs) for radar, navigation, electronic warfare, communications, processing, and other electronic functions. 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 services but executes the whole design flow in-house (architecture definition, circuit design, RTL, synthesis, physical layout, verification, packaging and testing). SSED owns numerous microelectronics projects, funded both by internal Boeing programs and external U.S. Government Science and Technology (S&T) customers. SSED’s large staff of microelectronics engineers conducts research and designs microelectronics hardware in support of these projects.
We are actively looking to fill a Lead Analog Mixed Signal Design Engineer role in SSED. Ideal candidate would be one who has proven experience in design of mixed signal blocks and have successfully verified and validated designs. Technical leads in SSED are expected to lead and mentor other engineers. This position will be based out of Huntington Beach, CA.
