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 Verification Engineers to join us as part of our Boeing Electronic Products team at the heart of Boeing’s products in El Segundo or Huntington Beach, CA.

Mission

Develop adaptable verification engineers who build strong technical fundamentals, become independent owners of assigned scope, and grow from guided execution toward ownership of verification work of moderate complexity.

Level Intent

• Level II – Learn department processes, communicate proactively, build independence, and manage assigned verification scope.
• Level III – Independently own verification scope of moderate complexity and support closure, integration, and traceability activities.

Overview

Engineers support ASIC, FPGA, and SoC verification activities across advanced aerospace programs including space systems, satellite technologies, NASA mission support, aviation platforms, communications systems, and related digital subsystems while gaining exposure to broader digital product development activities.

Candidates are expected to possess strong verification fundamentals including simulation concepts, debug methods, coverage approaches, requirements traceability awareness, and general digital verification methodology concepts. Experience with UVM is strongly preferred, and engineers should be prepared to discuss verification fundamentals, SystemVerilog usage, coverage strategy, reusable verification concepts, and their current level of UVM understanding during interviews.

Behavioral Expectations

Engineers are expected to communicate status, blockers, assumptions, risks, and learning needs proactively while developing increasing ownership. The role emphasizes growth toward independent execution and effective management of personal scope of work.

Teams combine engineers with complementary technical strengths. Engineers are encouraged to build deeper expertise in selected areas while collaborating across broader verification activities to support overall program goals.
