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

• Experience in analog/mixed-signal layout design of deep sub-micron CMOS circuits

• Experience implementing analog layouts to achieve optimized matching for low cross talk and reduced parasitic. Layouts may include analog blocks like op-amps, passive such as resistors, capacitors, pad IOs, ESD structures, etc.

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

• Must understand techniques for managing IR drop, RC delay, electron-migration, self- heating and coupling capacitance

• Must be able to recognize failure prone circuit and layout structures, have experience in applying DFM best practices, and proactively work with circuit designers to identify the best approach to solving problems

• High level of proficiency in interpretation of CALIBRE DRC, ERC, LVS, etc. reports

• Knowledge of CADENCE, MENTOR GRAPHICS and other relevant layout tools

• Scripting skills in PERL or SKILL are considered a plus, but not required

• Excellent communication skills and can do approach with cross-functional teams

• Working closely with the IC design team on layout floor planning and implementation to product finalization

• From component level layout up to top-level chip assembly 

• Verification including DRC, LVS, and ERC

• Support parasitic extraction and analysis

• Drive continued improvement of layout practices and procedures

• Self-motivated—requiring minimal supervision

This position is expected to be 100% onsite.  The selected candidate will be required to work onsite at the listed location.

​This position requires the ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance for which the U.S. Government requires U.S. Citizenship. An interim and/or final U.S. Secret Clearance Post-Start is required.

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience):

• Bachelor of Science degree from an accredited course of study in engineering, engineering technology (includes manufacturing engineering technology), chemistry, physics, mathematics, data science, or computer science

• 4+ years experience working with analog/mixed-signal/digital circuits
