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.
We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Systems Design & Analysis Engineer in Huntington Beach, CA with experience analyzing space and airborne platforms to support the development of Space Payloads for optical sensing systems. Responsibilities will include leading mechanical analysis of Space Payloads and Systems.
This position is part of the rapidly growing Electro-Optics Infrared Mission Systems team within Boeing Research and Technology. The Electro-Optics Infrared Mission Systems 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.
Candidates should have experience with engineering including a broad knowledge of design, stress analysis, certification, and engineering principles. Candidates should also have experience collaborating with other Integrated Product Teams to execute strategy of growth, on-time delivery, and technical excellence as well as extensive experience in performing engineering work.
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 job for you!
Position Responsibilities:
Lead and provide technical quality review of the development and documentation of mechanical and fluid systems and thermal environment to establish the system design
