Within BR&T’s Mission System Technologies (MST) organization, Boeing’s Radio Frequency, Photonic & Mixed Signal Microsystems (RPMM) Capability Technology Team (CTT) performs microelectronics technology development and design for aerospace & defense systems. We develop Mixed Signal, Radio Frequency, Microwave, and Integrated Photonics based microsystems 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 (SOTA) semiconductor process technologies including CMOS, GaAs, GaN, and SiGe. RPMM uses external wafer fabrication but performs design (architecture, RTL, synthesis, circuits, physical design, verification, packaging and test) in house. RPMM has numerous microelectronics projects, funded both by internal Boeing customers and external Government Science and Technology (S&T) customers. RPMM’s staff of microelectronics engineers conduct research and designs microelectronics hardware in support of these projects.
