Mechanical Systems Design & Analysis Engineer (Experienced or Senior)

Company: The Boeing Company

The Boeing Test Operations and Engineering (TO&E) team in Berkeley, Missouri is seeking Mechanical Systems Design & Analysis Engineers to join our Instrumentation Installation Design group supporting flight test programs.

In this team, a design engineer has the primary responsibility for the synthesis of requirements, creation of engineering definition, 3D models, 2D drawings, and model-based definition that define the mechanical hardware required to install a flight test data system. Flight test hardware is frequently located throughout the aircraft giving an employee a chance to get familiar with different areas of the platform.

Instrumentation installation designers work the entire design cycle including support of requirement definition, layouts, coordination with electrical designers, preliminary design review, engineering release, coordination with manufacturing engineers and suppliers, occasional shipside support, and change incorporation.

We are currently hiring for a broad range of experience levels including Experienced and Senior Mechanical Systems Design & Analysis Engineers.

Position Responsibilities:

  • Determine where and how to locate flight test equipment on the air vehicle given upstream test requirements
  • Design detailed mechanical components such as shelves, equipment trays, wiring clips, brackets, sensor mounts and specialized test mechanisms
  • Incorporation of instrumentation into mechanical designs, including model-based wire routing and installation definition of how to modify the production airframe and to install sensors
  • Work closely with manufacturing engineers on producibility and procurement
  • Support the mod team during installation with engineering revisions and sometimes support shipside, whether that modification is along the assembly line in Saint Louis, a remote site in the US like an Air Force base, or international customers
  • Support all the Saint Louis production programs (F-47, F-15, F/A-18, T-7A, MQ-25A, Weapons) and team members may work across multiple platforms concurrently
