Systems Engineer - Digital Signal Processing (Lead or Senior)
About The Position
The Boeing Company is seeking Lead or Senior Digital Signal Processing Systems Engineers to join the Space and Launch Engineering team in El Segundo, California. The team designs and develops space-based communication systems for commercial, civil, and national security programs. Project assignments can span the unit life cycle, from internal trades, concept studies, and system definition through satellite unit development and test. The engineer will work with customers, suppliers, program management, integration and test engineers, and senior technologists. The position focuses on the design and development of RF, digital, and optical satellite communication systems and their digital signal processing architectures. It supports communication digital payload requirements and interfaces, performance analysis and link budgets, prototype demonstrations, integration and simulation, and ASIC/FPGA design and verification. This position is expected to be 100% onsite in El Segundo, California. A U.S. Secret clearance post-start is required; candidates must be able to obtain a clearance, and U.S. citizenship is required for that purpose. The role also requires compliance with U.S. export-control requirements.
