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.
We are seeking a Lead or Senior Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) Design Engineer to join our team in Huntington Beach, California with experience in the development of mission systems for space and airborne platforms to support and lead development of next generation electronics for optical sensing systems from conceptual design through operation prototypes on multiple programs.
The person selected for this role will be expected to design and simulate algorithm performance and then convert the algorithms into hardware systems for test and verification. Specifically targeted technical skills include digital signals processing for sensing applications; embedded software development; algorithm design and simulation; FPGA implementation with VHDL and/or Verilog; and familiarity with MATLAB and Simulink.
This position is part of the rapidly growing Electro-Optical (EO) / Infra-Red (IR) Mission Systems team within BR&T. The EO/IR Mission Systems (EMS) team has more than quadrupled in size over the past 18 months due to new contract wins and continues to see increased demand from Boeing's customers. We're designing, building, and testing cutting edge sensor systems for airborne and space platforms. Our focus is always on the mission - connecting people through safer air travel and protection of the warfighter from its adversaries. This isn't your typical Boeing team - we are focused on the entire lifecycle of design: from modeling and simulation of new ideas, through prototype demonstrations, and eventually transitioning to production systems.
Our team provides complete engineering solutions to Boeing and its customers, including systems engineering, optics design, mechanical design, algorithms, software development, firmware development, electronics, and advanced system modeling and simulations. If you're interested in working in a fast-paced environment while taking a design from clean sheet of paper through flight demonstration, ideally with some technology that's never been flown before, then this is the group for you!
