Electrical Design and Analysis Engineer 3\4
Technical position at the Boeing Company's Satellite Development Center for an experienced electrical engineer with a broad background in digital design for space communications and processing applications. This position requires specification, design, and analysis expertise in a range of digital electronics that includes Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC's), Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA's), up through board and unit-level applications in advanced digital communication systems. In general, responsibilities will start at requirements specification, include all phases of design from coding and modeling to simulation, verification and test. Responsibilities may include follow-through to fabrication, manufacturing, and test at various hardware levels. Subsystem verification and environmental test experience is a plus, as is knowledge of digital communication subsystem test architectures and methods.
Competencies
General• Communication
Clarifies purpose and importance; stresses major points; follows a logical sequence. Keeps the audience engaged through use of techniques such as analogies, illustrations, humor, an appealing style, body language, and voice inflection. Frames the message in line with audience experience, background, and expectations; uses terms, examples, and analogies that are meaningful to the audience. Seeks input from audience; checks understanding; presents message in different ways to enhance understanding. Uses syntax, pace, volume, diction, and mechanics appropriate to the media being used. Accurately interprets messages from others and responds appropriately.
• Customer Focus
Makes customers and their needs a primary focus of one's actions; develops and sustains productive customer relationships; uses information to understand customers' circumstances, problems, expectations, and needs; periodically becomes involved in sharing information with customers to build their understanding of issues and capabilities; considers how actions or plans will affect customers; responds quickly to meet customer needs and resolve problems; assists higher graded employees and/or project team leaders in implementing ways to monitor and evaluate customer concerns, issues, and satisfaction and to anticipate customer needs.
• Managing Work
Identifies critical and less critical activities and tasks within own and other work groups; adjusts priorities when appropriate. Ensures that required equipment and/or materials are in appropriate locations so that own and others' work can be done effectively. Allocates own time to complete work; coordinates own and others' schedules to avoid conflicts. Takes advantage of available resources (individuals, processes, departments, and tools) to complete work efficiently. Uses time effectively and rarely allows irrelevant issues or distractions from interfering with work completion.
