Job Description Qualifications:
Currently SSED is actively hiring

Custom Integrated Circuit Design Engineers (Associate, Mid-Level, Senior),

who have expertise and/or course work in standard cell design, analysis, verification and test.

The Custom Integrated Circuit (IC) Design Engineer is expected to contribute all phases of design and development from requirement definition, initial concepts, and architecture and trade studies; through behavioral modeling, circuit design and layout implementation.

As well as ability to define test plans and supply testing of the chips in a lab. This position will be based out of

Tukwila, Washington .

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 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.

SSED executes a variety of exciting, technically challenging projects, offering endless opportunities to develop depth and breadth of technical skills.

We offer on-the-job learning opportunities and long-term potential for career growth into both technical leadership and/or management positions and seek curiosity, creativity, innovation, attention to detail, clear communication, and the ability to understand and meet customer needs.
