Verification Engineering Manager (ASIC & FPGA)

About this role

Verification Engineering Manager (ASIC & FPGA)

Company: The Boeing Company

Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) is seeking a Verification Engineering Manager to join our teams in El Segundo or Huntington Beach, California .

Our ASIC & FPGA Engineering organization is a centralized engineering capability supporting a diverse portfolio of advanced aerospace, space, and defense programs. Rather than joining a single product team, our engineers become part of a long-term engineering organization where they contribute across multiple technologies and programs as business needs evolve, providing continuous technical growth and long-term career stability.

What We Build Our teams develop advanced digital technologies including ASICs, SoCs, FPGAs, digital processors, communications systems, sensor processing, high-speed digital interfaces, and other mission-critical electronics supporting commercial aviation, defense platforms, national security space systems, satellite payloads, autonomous aircraft, and other advanced applications.

How We Work We believe exceptional engineers are developed through ownership, technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous learning. Engineers are encouraged to take ownership beyond narrowly defined functional boundaries by identifying risks early, driving technical solutions, communicating effectively, and helping teammates succeed. Our teams bring together complementary technical strengths while providing opportunities to broaden systems understanding and develop deep expertise in selected domains.

Who Succeeds Here Successful engineers are curious, proactive, and collaborative. They enjoy solving challenging technical problems, mentoring others, continuously improving their skills, and contributing to the success of both their teams and the broader engineering organization. As engineers gain experience, they have opportunities to expand into technical leadership, subsystem ownership, mentoring, architecture discussions, and cross-functional leadership while continuing to grow their technical expertise.

The Opportunity As a Verification Engineering Manager, you will initially lead approximately 5–10 verification engineers while helping grow a high-performing verification organization over time. This role blends people leadership, technical leadership, and program execution. You will recruit outstanding engineers, develop future technical leaders, partner across engineering disciplines, and strengthen the organization through continuous improvement. Our managers are expected to build exceptional engineers, deliver exceptional execution, and continuously strengthen the organization for the future.

Key Responsibilities • Build a High-Performing Verification Team - Lead recruiting activities including maintaining job requisitions, participating in hiring events, screening resumes, conducting interviews, and making hiring recommendations while building a strong verification organization.

• Lead Program Execution - Drive successful execution across assigned programs by proactively identifying technical, schedule, and staffing risks, removing obstacles, coordinating resources, and promoting accountability.

• Provide Technical Leadership - Promote engineering excellence through sound verification practices, technical reviews, mentoring, and collaboration with technical experts and engineering leaders.

• Develop Engineers and Future Leaders - Coach engineers in their technical and professional growth, conduct performance and career discussions, recognize outstanding contributors and emerging leaders, and support employees requiring additional development.

• Lead Cross-Functional Execution - Partner effectively with ASIC design, FPGA design, systems engineering, software engineering, program management, chief engineers, and functional leadership to successfully deliver complex products.

• Drive Continuous Improvement - Champion improvements to engineering processes, onboarding, documentation, communication, metrics, and organizational effectiveness.

• Support Engineering Excellence - Ensure engineers have the tools, resources, access, approvals, and environment needed to perform at their highest level.

Our Ideal Candidate • Typically 5–15 years of relevant ASIC and/or FPGA engineering experience with demonstrated technical leadership.

• Strong background in ASIC and/or FPGA digital design, verification, or both, with an understanding of the product development lifecycle.

• Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills.

• Exceptional organizational, planning, and prioritization skills.

• Demonstrated ability to mentor, coach, and develop engineers.

• Proactive, collaborative, action-oriented leadership style with sound engineering judgment.

• Ability to balance technical excellence, people development, and program execution.

• Leadership Attributes

• Approachable, supportive, and collaborative.

• High integrity, accountability, and professionalism.

• Strong organizational and communication skills.

• Comfortable making timely decisions with incomplete information.

• Passionate about developing engineers and building high-performing teams.

• Committed to continuous improvement and long-term organizational success.
