Job Description Qualifications:

Boeing Research & Technology is looking for a Semiconductor Device Modeling Engineer (Associate, Mid-Level or Senior) based out of Tukwila, WA.

We are seeking semiconductor device model engineers who are able to model CMOS transistor behavior in extreme environments (e.g. cryogenic, extreme heat, and high radiation) in advanced semiconductor fabrication nodes (≤32nm) for high-speed digital, analog/mixed-signal, and RF circuits.

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 enabling the future of aerospace.  We are engineers and technicians, skilled scientists and bold innovators; Join us and put your passion, determination, and skill to work building the future!   #TheFutureIsBuiltHere  #ChangeTheWorld

Within BR&T, Boeing’s Solid-State Electronics Development organization (SSED) performs microelectronics technology development and design for aerospace systems.  We develop digital, analog, and RF Systems on Chip (SoCs) for radar, navigation, electronic warfare, communications, processing, and other electronic systems. 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 but performs design (architecture, RTL, synthesis, circuits, physical design, verification), packaging, and test in house.  SSED has numerous microelectronics projects, funded both by internal Boeing customers and external Government Science and Technology (S&T) customers, and is nationally recognized in aerospace microelectronics design communities. SSED’s large staff of microelectronics engineers conduct research, design, and test microelectronics hardware in support of these projects.

SSED executes a variety of exciting, technically challenging projects, offering endless opportunities to develop depth and breadth of technical skills.  We offer on-the-job learning opportunities and long-term potential for career growth into both technical leadership and/or management positions and seek curiosity, creativity, innovation, attention to detail, clear communication, and the ability to understand and meet customer needs. 

Position Responsibilities:

• Developing new compact models and adapting foundry-provided models for extreme environments based on experimental data and theoretical understanding of DC to multi-GHz AC behavior

• Performing extracted simulations to validate simulated circuit behavior against measurement data

• Defining test structures and measurements to provide data for model validation and calibration

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

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

• Experience with semiconductor device physics

• Experience with CMOS processing steps

 

Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):

• 3+ years of related work experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience

• 5+ years of related work experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience

• 3+ years of experience in the development and calibration of CMOS or bipolar transistor models (using industry standard formats such as BSIM-BULK, BSIM-CMG, BSIM-IMG, BSIM-SOI, Gummel Poon, and VBIC) for digital, mixed-signal/analog, or RF integrated circuit applications.

• Experience with industry-standard device modeling software, such as Keysight IC-CAP and Mod
