Within BR&T’s Mission Systems and Cyber Technologies (MSCT) organization, 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, and packaging) and test in house.  Our large staff of microelectronics engineers advance microelectronics R&D in support of numerous projects funded both by internal Boeing customers and external Government Science and Technology (S&T) customers.

SSED executes a variety of exciting, technically challenging projects, offering endless opportunities to develop depth and breadth of technical skills.  We offer 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. 

We are seeking a semiconductor circuit reliability engineer to develop Design for Reliability (DfR) guidelines for extreme environments (e.g. high radiation, high temperature, or cryogenic) and to lead stress testing to ensure chip-level and system reliability in the application environment.  A successful candidate will be able to identify the most important reliability mechanisms (including transistors, metallization, and packaging) and understand how these mechanisms impact circuits and systems.
