Software & Test Engineer (Associate, Mid-Level or Senior)

About the position

At Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better place. We're committed to fostering an environment for every teammate that's welcoming, respectful and inclusive, with great opportunity for professional growth. Find your future with us. The Boeing Company is looking for a Software & Test Engineer (Associate, Mid-Level or Senior) based out of Huntington Beach, CA. At Boeing's Microelectronics Technologies (MET), we're looking for someone to join a team committed to understanding and improving state-of-the-art SoC and ASIC designs for Quantum System Microelectronics (QSM), a part of the Disruptive Computing and Networking (DC&N) venture. We are bringing novel electronic test systems online and need individuals capable of helping to design and build the data infrastructure as well as software automation stack to run tests, acquire and save data. Electrically testing original IC circuit designs is the focus of this group and a large amount of software infrastructure is necessary for our overall success. You will work closely with stakeholders and test engineers daily to ensure high data volume and data quality. Once acclimated, helping to plan higher level improvements to automation and database infrastructure will be required. Ultimately, candidates who are interested in a multi-disciplinary approach to engineering as part of the natural innovation process will be most successful in this role. Occasionally, actual testing of IC circuits may also be necessary so some familiarity and/or willingness to learn is ideal. The selected candidate will join a team that is motivated, engaged, and eager to advance the state-of-the-art. The ideal candidate will enjoy working with electrical engineers and physicists as well as have some interest and/or experience with lab hardware. This could be experience with oscilloscopes, network analyzers, field-programmable gate arrays, wave generators or the like.
