This posting is for a contract assignment and is not a full-time employment offer with Boeing. Candidates selected for roles will be employed as contract workers through a Boeing approved 3rd party for the duration of the specified project.

Job Description

The Boeing Mobility Surveillance and Bombers (MS&B) Electromagnetic Effects Group is seeking a broad range of experience levels, including Career, Expert, and Consultant level Electromagnetic Effects Test, Analysis and Design Engineers. The qualified candidate will work on a multitude of Boeing Defense, Space and Security (BDS) Commercial Derivative airplane programs such as US E-7A, VC-25B, and / or the KC-46A Tanker, among others. The engineer will develop and validate Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) requirements and architectures to integrate complex systems and components into higher level systems and platforms for the Continued Airworthiness (CAW) of these platforms. The engineer will also provide EMI / EMC expertise to design and modification efforts of products being developed throughout Boeing.

E3 includes the following environments : Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), Lightning, High Intensity Radiated Fields (HIRF), Precipitation Static, Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP), among others.

Primary job responsibilities will include :

Perform complicated trade studies, modeling, simulation and other forms of analysis to predict component, interconnects and system performance and to optimize design for E3 performance

Work (under minimal direction) to achieve Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of electronics, wiring and structure

Interface with manufacturing for complex E3 aspects of the designs, coordinate with suppliers to assure compatibility at the system level. Report achievements and issues to program management and customers

Support project management by coordinating development of work statement, budget, schedule and other required inputs and conducting appropriate reviews

Other job responsibilities may include :

Develop and implement Test Automation for aircraft modifications

Apply EMI engineering technology experience to document and solve complex problems

Perform trade studies, modeling, simulation and other forms of analyses to predict component, interconnects, and system performance and to optimize design

Apply conversion, correction, and antenna factors to EMI / EMC analyses and test

Work on a cross-functional support team and communicate clearly in various review boards both internally & externally

Process engineering data into meaningful tables and graphs for inclusion into reports.

This position requires the ability to obtain a US Security Clearance for which the US Government requires US Citizenship.

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills / Experience) :

Must possess a Bachelor's degree in engineering, engineering technology, engineering physics or physics.

Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills / Experience) :

Familiarity in the defense or aerospace industry

Previous experience of MIL-STD-461 / 464 and / or DO-160 EMI / EMC

Prior experience with Aerospace Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3)

Experience with EMI qualification testing for aircraft LRU's, including reviewing procedures and test reports

Familiar with aircraft-level E3 requirements and test methods within MIL-STD-464

Familiar with electrical bonding best practices in support of E3 compliance

Foundation in RF systems and / or computational E3 analytical software tools

Typical Education / Experience :

(Level 4) :

Degree and typical experience in engineering classification : Bachelor's and 9 or more years' experience, Master's with 7 or more years' experience or PhD with 4 or more years' experience. Bachelor, Master or Doctorate of Science degree from an accredited course of study, in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics or chemistry.
