About Our Electronics Products Team

We seek engineers who are ambitious and will thrive in a technology development environment and can work the full spectrum from research through flight insertion.

The work we do enables the missions and needs of our customers as we help Connect, Protect, Explore, and Inspire the world. Our team of engineers leverage leading-edge technology and work with world-class partners to provide some of the most complex SoCs in the world. We develop robust, high-performance custom processors using the latest ARM IP to enable high-integrity, low SWAP-C flight computers. Plus, we're applying the latest digital IC design processes with industry-best tools to enable applications that cut across every domain at Boeing.

Our diverse development portfolio provides opportunities to learn with exposure to the breadth of the Boeing product line - approximately half our design work is within the Space & Launch business unit, and half is from other parts of Boeing (AvionX; Missiles & Weapons; Strike, Surveillance and Mobility; and Autonomous Systems).

You will work with a growing team and develop state-of-the-art digital ICs/SoCs to support the most critical programs across the Boeing Defense and Security enterprise. We collaborate with other electronics groups across the company and around the world and support ASIC/FPGA design and verification for electronics that we build in El Segundo or for units designed at other sites.
