The Boeing Company is hiring Associate or Mid-Level Aerodynamics Engineer into our Aerodynamics Performance Product Development team in Everett, WA.

The Aerodynamics Performance Product Development team is part of the Aerodynamics Performance group within the larger Flight Sciences organization. Flight Sciences provides design and analysis support for all development and in-production aircraft within Boeing Commercial Airplanes.

Our Aero Performance group is organized in five teams: Sales Support and Competitive Analysis, Product Development and Fleet Support, ETOPS, Flight Manuals and Performance Tools, and Certification and Fuel Mileage. These teams contribute to the entire airplane life cycle from product development to certification, production and fleet support. We work closely with other teams from Flight Sciences, Sales & Marketing, Product Development, Flight Test, and other disciplines and regulatory organizations to ensure airplanes satisfy design and certification requirements for all phases of flight including takeoff, climb, cruise, descent and landing.

As an Aerodynamics Engineer, you will perform analyses to support both airplanes in development and service. You will gain an airplane-level perspective of vehicle performance characteristics to meet our customers’ overall mission performance requirements. Flight Engineering skills cover the entire product life cycle from initial vehicle concept definition, through design, test, validation and in-service support. The primary Flight Engineering skills include aerodynamics, propulsion, loads, aeroelasticity, weights, acoustics and configuration integration. You will influence the development of the airplane, verifying capabilities during the flight test program, and/or supporting our airline customers who operate our airplanes. You will have opportunities to interface directly with other disciplines and the Flight Test community, expanding your network and sphere of influence. You will utilize a variety of computational tools and techniques to reach solutions to complex problems with competing requirements. You develop and use high fidelity steady-state and dynamic simulation models to analyze extreme flight conditions. You’ll be an integral part of ensuring the safety, performance and efficiency of current and future Boeing Commercial Airplane products.
