Microelectronics Design and Verification Engineer

Microelectronics Design and Verification Engineer

The Opportunity:

As an electrical engineer, you understand the workings behind complex systems. That knowledge is key when it comes to advancing security and trust in microelectronics. We’re looking for an electrical or computer engineer who can use their skills to support national security missions by developing, assessing, and securing next‑generation semiconductor technologies for the Department of the Army and other government clients.

At Booz Allen, you’ll use your engineering skills to transform the microelectronics landscape supporting defense and government research. Our team develops secure hardware architectures, advances IC verification and assurance methods, and conducts cutting‑edge research in areas such as security and trustworthy designs, mixed‑signal systems, and side‑channel attack mitigation. That’s why we need you, an experienced electrical engineer who specializes in microelectronics and hardware security, to help us design and develop resilient architectures, advanced verification approaches, and tools for analyzing and securing complex embedded and IC‑based systems.

On our team, you’ll apply your expertise by performing deep‑dive hardware analysis, conducting validation on FPGAs and ASICs, and supporting R & D investigations into the trustworthiness and performance of emerging microelectronic technologies. You’ll impact national defense and critical technology development by enabling secure hardware designs, improving resilience to threats, and ensuring the integrity of systems that underpin vital missions. We’ll look to you to share your electrical engineering expertise through leadership, technical mentoring, and collaboration with multidisciplinary teams.

As a technical leader, you’ll identify new opportunities to develop solutions to help your customers meet their toughest needs.

Take on exciting challenges in national defense and microelectronics R & D with us as we strengthen the security, reliability, and performance of the next generation of hardware technologies that support the warfighter and safeguard critical missions.

Join us. The world can’t wait.

You Have:

• 20+ years of experience working within FPGA and ASIC design
• Experience in integrated circuit design, including asynchronous logic, mixed‑signal systems, FPGA / ASIC architectures, or SoC development
• Experience in hardware security, trust assessment, embedded system assurance, or IC reverse engineering
• Experience with EDA tools supporting IC design, verification, testing, or physical design automation
• Experience conducting technical research, documenting results, and presenting findings to customers and stakeholders
• Experience leading independent or small technical teams to deliver high‑impact solutions
• Ability to be self‑motivated and operate effectively in dynamic R & D environments
• Ability to obtain a Secret clearance
• Doctorate degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering

Nice If You Have:

• Experience with hardware Trojan detection, hardware assurance, or side‑channel analysis
