ASIC​/FPGA Design and Verification Engineer Lead, Senior, or Principal

Overview

ASIC/FPGA Design and Verification Engineer – (Lead, Senior, or Principal) for The Boeing Company – Boeing Space, Intelligence & Weapons Systems. The role is located in Albuquerque, NM, supporting complex ASICs and FPGAs used across Boeing’s commercial, space, and defense programs.

• Design and develop FPGA designs and embedded software.
• Work with cross‑functional hardware and software teams to define/refine system requirements and ensure seamless software–hardware compatibility.
• Conduct unit‑level testing, verification, and validation of embedded software and firmware, using oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, including requirements documents, design specifications, test plans, and interface control documents.
• Support integration of software and hardware components, from initial hardware bring‑up to final system validation.
• Analyze and enhance efficiency, stability, scalability, and performance of system resources within low‑power or memory constraints.
• Lead FPGA/ASIC designs, including multi‑FPGA/ASIC programs and leading teams of design and verification engineers.
• Collaborate with customers, system engineers, and hardware engineers to capture requirements and architect digital logic functions.
• Explore trade‑space of potential ASIC/FPGA technologies, evaluating SCRAP (Schedule, Cost, Risk, Area, Power) versus performance.
• Implement design practices and tools from micro‑architecture through HDL coding and physical design realization.
• Integrate DSP IP from Boeing’s algorithm team and third‑party IP as needed.
• Perform static timing analysis, LEC, CDC, linting and other checks to ensure schedule compliance.
• Develop functional coverage models and perform code coverage to verify designs in simulation.
• Create self‑checking and reusable test benches, applying Object‑Oriented Programming concepts such as Inheritance and Polymorphism, and leverage UVM.
• Drive FPGA‑based prototyping and validation depending on program and system requirements.
• Validate design through hardware integration test with special test equipment, test‑beds, and higher‑level systems as needed.
• Train and mentor less senior engineers and help build effective project teams.

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Aeronautical), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or equivalent.
• 9+ years of ASIC/FPGA design or verification experience (or Master’s degree plus 7+ years).
• Experience with ASIC/FPGA architectural definition, detailed design implementation and functional verification using System Verilog.
• Professional experience with hardware‑based integration and test of ASIC/FPGA designs.

• Senior (Level5): 14+ years of related work experience;
  Principal (Level6): 20+ years of related work experience.
• Master’s degree in EE, Computer Engineering/Science, or related field.
• Proven record of leading ASIC/FPGA design and/or verification teams.
• Experience with hardware emulators, especially Palladium.
• Proficiency with System Verilog Assertion and hardware verification languages.
• Experience creating self‑checking and reusable test benches from scratch.
• Experience with high‑speed Serdes interfaces (JESD
  204C, PCIe, Ethernet).
• Proficient in scripting languages (Make, Perl, Python, etc.).
• Revision control experience (SVN, CVS, Git) and Linux environments.
• Familiarity with space‑based design techniques and radiation mitigation.
• History of 1st‑pass success with ASIC designs.

• Lead (Level4): 9+ years of experience;
  Senior (Level5): 14+ years;
  Principal (Level6): 20+ years.
