Job Description Qualifications:

Boeing is seeking a Lead Analog Mixed-Signal Layout Design Engineer to join our team in Huntington Beach, CA.

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.

Position Responsibilities:

Proficiency in custom and standard cell-based floor-planning and hierarchical layout assembly

Understanding of IR drop, RC delay, electro migration, self-heating and coupling capacitance management techniques

Proficiency in physical verification including DRC, LVS, and ERC, Support parasitic extraction and analysis

Scripting skills are considered a plus

Good communication skills and ability to work with a cross-functional team
