The Integrated Materials & Structures Technology Team within Boeing Technology Innovation (BTI) is seeking a Materials & Process Engineer (Associate, Mid Level or Senior) –
Composites Materials, Process, & Physics Engineer (MP&P). This team is part of the Composites, Materials, & Structures organization within BTI. The group has a dual mission to
1) Execute R&D in next-generation thermoset composites relevant to Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) and
2) Develop and mature applications for these materials through advanced design and manufacturing demonstrator programs to de-risk and accelerate adoption by BDS programs.

This experienced engineer will lead material selection, process development, characterization, and troubleshooting of polymer matrix and fiber-reinforced composite systems for aerospace applications. They also will lead manufacturing risk reduction demonstration programs to de-risk and accelerate adoption of new composite materials and manufacturing processes for BDS programs. The role offers hands‑on exposure to lab‑scale manufacturing processes, mechanical and physical/chemical testing, data analysis, and cross‑functional project work with early career and senior engineers.

• Support development and optimization of composite materials—prepregs, adhesives, and core materials—and related consumables
• Define and validate manufacturing processes (e.g., layup, curing/autoclave/out‑of‑autoclave processing, consolidation) to be used on production programs
• Perform materials characterization and testing: mechanical (tensile, compression, shear), thermal (DMA, TGA, DSC), moisture uptake and microscopy
• Collect, analyze, and summarize experimental data; prepare test reports and present findings to the team
• Develop and maintain process documentation, work instructions, and process control plans for production transitions
• Support root‑cause investigations and corrective actions for material and process related nonconformances
• Conduct supplier evaluations and material qualification activities
• Follow safety, quality and environmental procedures in the lab and manufacturing areas

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology (including Manufacturing Technology), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry
• 2+ years of experience in new material development, insertion, composite manufacturing process development

• Advanced Engineering degree
• Understanding of composite materials and processing methods
• Familiarity with standard materials testing methods
• Knowledge of composite design considerations and failure modes
• Ability to read, understand, and interpret engineering drawings and specifications
• Knowledge of responsibilities and tasks performed by various engineering departments/disciplines; knowledge of the interaction between departments/disciplines and how their products/processes affect one another and impact non‑engineering processes
• Strong problem solving and experimental skills; ability to apply knowledge of materials engineering and scientific principles to develop, design, analyze, test, and validate solutions for complex systems, sub‑systems and designs
• Solid written and verbal communication skills; able to prepare clear test reports and presentations
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint); experience with data analysis tools
• Willingness to work in lab/manufacturing environments
