The Boeing Company Systems Engineer (Lead or Senior) in Huntington Beach, California
Job Description
At Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better place. From the seabed to outer space, you can contribute to work that matters with a company where diversity, equity and inclusion are shared values. 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.
This position is part of the rapidly growing EO/IR Mission Systems (EMS) team within BR&T. The EMS team has more than quadrupled in size over the past 18 months due to new contract wins and continues to see increased demand from Boeing’s customers. We’re designing, building, and testing cutting edge sensor systems for airborne and space platforms. Our focus is always on the mission – connecting people through safer air travel and protection of the warfighter from its adversaries. This isn’t your typical Boeing team – we are focused on the entire lifecycle of design: from modeling and simulation of new ideas, through prototype demonstrations, and eventually transitioning to production systems. Our team provides complete engineering solutions to Boeing and its customers, including systems engineering, optics design, mechanical design, algorithms, software development, firmware development, electronics, and advanced system modeling and simulations. If you’re interested in working in a fast-paced environment while taking a design from clean sheet of paper through flight demonstration, ideally with some technology that’s never been flown before, then this is the group for you.
We are seeking a Lead or Senior Systems Engineer in Huntington Beach, CA with experience in the development of mission systems for space and airborne platforms. Responsibilities will include driving the systems engineering from requirements to verification/validation as well as support of project engineering/management activities. Candidates should have experience with all phases of development, including creation and tracking of requirements as well as development and execution of test and verification plans. Candidates should also have project management experience and both the ability to lead a team as well as extensive experience in performing engineering work.
