The Boeing Company is seeking an experienced, highly skilled professional to become a member of the Boeing Digital Avionics team. We are rapidly expanding our Digital Avionics development team consisting of engineers passionate in developing trusted, high assurance FPGA devices for advance Commercial and Military Avionics Systems. Selected candidates will have the opportunity to choose from one of our three Boeing AvionX locations: Phoenix, Arizona area (Mesa), Dallas, Texas area (Plano), or St. Louis, Missouri area (Hazelwood).
We are seeking Lead or Senior Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) Advanced Verification Engineers who are ambitious and will thrive in an advance technology development environment. You will help develop early adopter technology rapidly for insertion in our ruggedized and robust Avionics solutions. You will leverage your skills and capabilities in all areas of the FPGA verification lifecycle to include architecting UVM/UVMF test benches, develop test cases, generating FPGA verification artifacts, and leading or supporting FPGA milestone verification reviews. Senior candidates will also drive continuous improvement to our FPGA verification process, evaluate new FPGA development tools, and provide mentorship to our junior engineers.
The work we do enables the missions and needs of our military and commercial customers. Our team of engineers leverage leading-edge technology and work with world-class partners to develop solutions using some of the most advance SoCs in the world. We develop robust, high-performance custom digital processing technologies to enable high-integrity, low SWAP-C Avionics. We utilize the latest digital IC development processes with industry-best tools to produce the most trusted and cyber secure digital solutions for our Avionics customers.
Our focused Avionics center of excellence development group produces advance digital solutions for multiple manned and unmanned aircraft. Our extensive portfolio of products provides opportunities to learn and grow with exposure to the breadth of the Boeing Avionics products.
