Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) Manufacturing Engineer
Position Location: El Segundo, CA
Salary Range (Mid‑Level): $105,400 – $142,600
Overview At Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better place. The Product and Process Engineering organization within Boeing Space Electronics is seeking a Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) Manufacturing Engineer (Associate or Mid‑Level) to support board‑level assembly and test processes for MMIC‑based modules, from equipment setup and programming to troubleshooting and continuous improvement of production equipment used in module build‑up.
Responsibilities
Establish procedures, standards, protocols, and reporting requirements for board assembly and test operations.
Utilize lean manufacturing tools; recommend improvements in production methods, standards, tooling, equipment, layout, procedures, product designs, and performance efficiency.
Support engineering and manufacturing activities for all assembly operations, including programming, calibrating, and operating equipment and machines used to build MMIC modules.
Develop preventive maintenance plans, troubleshoot, and support repairs on production equipment.
Design and modify tooling, stencils, and shop aids for assembly processes (dispense fixtures, bond frames, custom pallets).
Develop rework/repair thermal and bonding profiles for rework and repair of electronic assemblies.
Configure and optimize production equipment and process recipes for building electronics assemblies and support requirements for new designs.
Maintain build schedule targets by resolving production issues while maintaining the integrity of manufacturing and design requirements.
Facilitate a close relationship with design, test, and quality teams during design, build, and test to provide continuous feedback required for design improvement and producibility.
Develop and execute Statistical Process Control (SPC) for manufacturing processes and maintain manufacturing metrics (yield, DPPM, cycle time).
Work with the design team in response to manufacturing problems, parts obsolescence, and requirement changes.
Support the transition of products from development to volume production and identify continuous improvement opportunities for yield, performance, and cost.
Support incoming inspection, nonconformance disposition, and supplier interactions for components and materials used in assembly.
Additional responsibilities: support DAP (dispense and pick) systems, pick‑and‑place machines, dispensing systems (solder paste / adhesive / conductive), plasma cleaning / activation systems, automatic ball‑bond and automatic wedge‑bond machines, beam‑lead diode bonder and manual wedge bonders, centrifuge for potting/adhesive processing, pull‑test equipment and force gauges, optical inspection and functional test fixtures.
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering Technology, Materials Science, Physics, Mathematics, Data Science, Computer Science, or related field.
1+ years of related manufacturing or process engineering experience in electronics assembly or module production (or equivalent combination of education and experience).
Hands‑on experience with multiple items from the required equipment list and demonstrated ability to configure/optimise production recipes and tooling.
Practical experience applying DOE, SPC, FMEA, and root‑cause analysis to drive process improvements.
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, assembly documents, CAD files, operation manuals, and safety rules.
Strong data analysis and documentation skills (Excel, Minitab/JMP, Python or equivalent) and ability to create work instructions/SOPs.
Interpersonal and communication skills to collaborate with individuals and teams at all levels and with external stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications
3+ years of related work experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
Familiarity or hands‑on experience with one or more items from the equipment list above.
Experience in aerospace, defense, or other high‑reliability electronics manufacturing environments.
Knowledge of RF/MMIC assembly impacts on performance (bond inductance, solder voiding, thermal paths).
Familiarity with EO/QA documentation and standards (AS9100, IPC‑A‑610) and MES/ERP systems.
Experience with supplier qualification and incoming inspection processes.
Security Clearance Position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Top Secret security clearance. U.S. citizenship is required.
Shift and Work Hours The role is primarily second shift; additional shift requirements may apply.
Drug‑Free Workplace Boeing is a Drug‑Free Workplace. All post‑offer employees are subject to testing for prohibited substances as outlined in company policies.
Equal Opportunity Employer Employment decisions are made without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, or disability status, in compliance with applicable law.
Export Control Position must meet export control compliance requirements. The applicant must be a U.S. Person as defined by 22 C.F.R. § 120.15.
Applications Applications for this position will be accepted until Nov. 14, 2025.
