About this role
ASIC Physical Design Engineer — Synthesis and Timing – (Associate or Experienced) Company: The Boeing Company Boeing Space, Intelligence & Weapons Systems has an exciting opportunity for multiple ASIC Physical Design Engineers – Synthesis and Timing to join us as part of our Boeing Electronic Products team at the heart of Boeing’s products to support advanced digital subsystem development in an aerospace environment in El Segundo , CA . Position overview We are hiring an ASIC Physical Design Engineer — Synthesis and Timing to help implement advanced SoCs used in mission-critical satellite and space applications. You will own portions of the full physical design flow—from synthesis and STA through ECOs and tapeout—collaborating closely with architecture, RTL, verification and outside companies.
Key Responsibilities
Help in driving frontend and backend implementation including synthesis, equivalence checking, floor-planning, timing constraints, timing and power convergence, and ECO implementation Ensure clean netlist handoffs and predictable convergence by partnering with RTL, verification, DFT, and backend partner companies Support chip‑level integration, top‑level timing closure, signoff readiness, and tapeout activities Contribute to methodology, automation, tool evaluations, and flow documentation Troubleshoot complex cross‑domain timing issues and propose robust, repeatable fixes Boeing continuously shapes the future of aerospace and space systems, advancing U.S. leadership in space while amplifying human creativity and intelligence. As a Boeing engineer, you’ll join a diverse, collaborative team solving high‑impact challenges in complex semiconductor design. If you value a company that supports strong work–life balance and meaningful technical work, Boeing is the place to be. How to make your application stand out: If you are a creative, autonomous engineer passionate about building your career in ASIC Physical design engineering for ASICs, we want to hear from you. Please include a cover letter/brief summary of relevant ASIC physical design experience when submitting your application. This position is expected to be 100% onsite. The selected candidate will be required to work onsite at the listed location.
Basic Qualifications
(Required Skills/Experience): This position requires the ability to obtain a US Security Clearance for which the US Government requires US Citizenship as a condition of employment. An interim and/or final U.S. Secret Clearance Post-Start is required. Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering (with a focus in Electrical, Mechanical or Aeronautical), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement 1+ years of practical experience in synthesis and static timing analysis (STA) Solid understanding of timing convergence, constraints generation/management, and logic synthesis at block or full‑chip level Familiarity with DFT, UPF/CPF power intent, ECO implementation, and signoff flows Experience with industry-standard EDA tools for synthesis, STA, and equivalence checking Proficiency in scripting (Tcl, Python, Perl) for flow automation and analysis Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience): Experienced, Level 3 : 5+ years of related engineering experience Bachelor’s Degree or Master's Degree in EE, Computer Engineering/Science, or related field Active U.S. Secret Security Clearance Experience with large, timing‑challenging ASIC blocks and cross‑domain timing convergence Hands‑on experience across the complete physical design flow (synthesis, floorplanning, P&R, CTS, STA, physical verification) Background in radiation‑hardened or space‑qualified ASIC design Experience working in multi‑disciplinary teams, vendors and with external Backend partners Familiarity with industry-standard tools and
