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 Defense Space & Security has an exciting opportunity as a Lead Advanced Microelectronics Packaging Design Engineer. Come join us as part of our Electronics Packaging team located in El Segundo, CA.

Packaging Electronics team focuses the majority of their time on Satellite missions. However, our diverse development portfolio provides opportunities to learn with exposure to the breadth of the Boeing product line – approximately half our design work is within the Space & Launch business unit, and half is from other parts of Boeing (AvionX; Missiles & Weapons; Strike, Surveillance and Mobility; and Autonomous Systems)..

Using first principals thinking, Engineers will work on electronic packaging designs and take it from cradle to grave. Working within a collaborative team environment, surrounded by world class engineers and mentors, you will design within the full life cycle and see your work from proposal all the way to delivery and production. We’re highly supportive of innovative thinking, we respect and acknowledge hard work, we recognize maturity and integrity, and we reward bottom-line achievement. At Boeing, we value your curiosity, your determination, and your imagination. #YouWillChangeTheWorld
