At Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better place. We’re committed to fostering an environment for every teammate that’s welcoming, respectful and inclusive, with great opportunity for professional growth. Find your future with us.
Boeing Space, Intelligence & Weapons Systems has an exciting opportunity for multiple ASIC and/or FPGA Design and Verification Engineers to join us as part of our Boeing Electronic Products team in Tukwila, WA.
From complex digitally beamformed phased arrays for constellation satellite programs to computing and networking equipment for commercial airplanes, the Boeing Electronic Products group develops ASICs and FPGAs that are at the heart of Boeing’s products!
We leverage leading-edge technology and work with world-class partners to provide some of the most complex SoCs in the world. We develop robust, high-performance custom processors using the latest ARM IP to enable high-integrity, low SWAP-C flight computers. We apply the latest digital IC design processes with industry-best tools to enable applications which cut across every domain.
Our diverse development portfolio provides opportunities to learn with exposure to the breadth of the Boeing product line – approximately half our design work is within the Space & Launch business unit, and half is from other parts of Boeing (AvionX; Missiles & Weapons; Strike, Surveillance and Mobility; and Autonomous Systems).
As an ASIC/FPGA Engineer on the Boeing Electronic Products team you will develop state-of-the-art digital ICs/SoCs to support the most critical programs across the enterprise.

Verification And Validation Engineer Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a verification and validation engineer in Washington?
Start with a bachelor's degree in electrical, mechanical, systems, or software engineering, which is the baseline for nearly every Washington posting. Washington does not issue a state-specific license for this role, but many positions in defense or nuclear sectors require a security clearance, and credentials such as the Certified Software Quality Engineer designation strengthen candidacy. Boeing, PNNL, and Northrop Grumman are anchor employers whose entry pathways reward both technical degrees and demonstrated test experience.
Which companies hire verification and validation engineers in Washington?
Washington verification and validation engineer roles are posted by Amazon, K2 Space, and SpaceX and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Washington's aerospace and defense industrial base, anchored in the greater Seattle area and Tri-Cities region, keeps demand for these engineers steady across both large primes and their supply chain partners.
Which Washington cities have the most verification and validation engineer jobs?
Seattle, Redmond, and Tukwila have the most verification and validation engineer openings in Washington. Seattle and its surrounding Puget Sound suburbs are driven by Boeing's commercial aerospace operations and a dense cluster of defense contractors, while the Tri-Cities area around Richland concentrates demand through Hanford Site remediation work and Department of Energy contractors that require rigorous safety-critical verification.
Are there remote verification and validation engineer jobs in Washington?
Yes, but they're limited, because a meaningful portion of this work involves hands-on hardware testing, lab environments, and classified facilities that require physical presence. About 0% of verification and validation engineer openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, concentrated mainly in software and model-based systems engineering functions where test execution can be done off-site.
How can I get hired as a verification and validation engineer in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a test technician or quality assurance associate role at a Washington aerospace or defense employer, then transitioning into a junior V&V engineer position once you've built hands-on familiarity with test procedures and documentation. Boeing and PNNL both run structured early-career and new-graduate programs in the Puget Sound and Tri-Cities areas. Completing a capstone verification project, earning a foundational quality credential, and demonstrating working knowledge of requirements management tools measurably improves your candidacy.
Where can I find and apply to verification and validation engineer jobs in Washington?
You can find and apply to verification and validation engineer jobs in Washington on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings in the state. Search for roles that match your engineering background and experience level, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
