Within BR&T, Boeing’s RF, Photonics and Mixed Signal Microsystems organization (RPMM) performs microelectronics technology development for aerospace systems. RPMM develops Photonics, analog, and RF Systems on Chip (SoCs) for radar, navigation, electronic warfare, communications, processing, and other electronic functions. These systems are used on Boeing marine, airborne, and satellite platforms. Designs are implemented with state-of-the-art semiconductor process technologies including CMOS, GaAs, GaN, and SiGe. RPMM 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). RPMM owns numerous microelectronics projects, funded both by internal Boeing programs and external U.S. Government Science and Technology (S&T) customers. RPMM’s in close conjunction with Microelectronics Technologies’ (MET) large staff of microelectronics engineers conducts research and designs microelectronics hardware in support of these projects.

We are seeking a Mid-Level Engineering Manager for the RPMM team in Huntington Beach, CA reporting to the RPMM Senior Manager. This manager will lead a team of 12-15 RPMM engineers focused on the characterization and test of ICs for aerospace and defense applications, to include extreme environments, resilient edge processing, photonics and RF microsystems. The successful candidate will manage and build organizational talent with a team of highly educated engineers and scientists, will have responsibility for personnel and infrastructure, and will partner with portfolio managers within and outside Mission Systems Technologies to ensure successful execution of programs and projects and to capture new business.

The successful candidate will initiate and improve cross-functional partnerships with others inside and outside Boeing to realize mutual benefit. The successful candidate will help others understand the vision and values of the organization and translate them into actionable plans.
