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/FPGA Verification Engineers (Associate, Experienced, or Lead) to join us as part of our Boeing Electronic Products team in either El Segundo or Huntington Beach, CA
From complex digitally beamformed phased arrays for constellation satellite programs to computing and networking equipment for commercial airplanes, the Boeing Electronic Products group develops ASICs and FPGAs that are at the heart of Boeing's products!
We leverage leading-edge technology and work with world-class partners to provide some of the most complex SoCs in the world. We develop robust, high-performance custom processors using the latest ARM IP to enable high-integrity, low SWAP-C flight computers. And we're applying the latest digital IC design processes with industry-best tools to enable applications that cut across every domain at Boeing.
Our diverse development portfolio provides opportunities to learn with exposure to the breadth of the Boeing product line - approximately half our design/verification 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).
As an ASIC/FPGA Verification Engineer on the Boeing Electronic Products team you will develop state-of-the-art digital ICs/SoCs to support the most critical programs across the enterprise. We collaborate with other electronics groups across the company and around the world and support ASIC/FPGA design and verification for electronics that we build in El Segundo and for units designed at other sites.
Position Responsibilities:
  • Design and implement an ASIC/FPGA verification environment utilizing UVM & System Verilog.
  • Develop self-checking and reusable test benches from the ground up, employing Object-Oriented Programming principles such as Inheritance and Polymorphism, while utilizing UVM to build drivers, monitors, predictors, and scoreboards.
  • Create Functional Coverage Models and conduct Code Coverage analysis to ensure thorough verification of designs during simulation.
  • Set up regression tests and collect coverage metrics to ensure comprehensive verification and track progress over time.
  • Assist in FPGA-based prototyping and validation based on program and system requirements and complexity.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure that verification strategies align with overall project goals and timelines.

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience):
