Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) is looking for a Senior/
Lead Aerodynamics Engineer (Aero-Stability & Control Analyst) to join our team in Berkeley, MO .

This position will coordinate and lead team activities heading into high angle of attack flight testing, which includes departure resistance and spin recovery for the EMD (engineering, manufacturing, and development) program. In addition, this position will include configuration maturation of variants of the T-7A aircraft to meet potential new customers’ needs. Detailed activities of the team on the EMD program include pre-flight predictions for flight testing, flight test monitoring, flight-test data reconstruction and analysis, assessments of the current T-7A aero database fidelity compared to flight test, and assessment of air data source-error correction accuracy.

The selected candidate will report to a BDS Flight Engineering Senior Manager and will receive guidance from a senior Aero Stability and Control Technical Lead Engineer.

Flight engineers are essential to the development, safety and success of our products and solutions. Each day, they go above and beyond to meet our customers’ overall mission requirements—from initial vehicle concept definition through design, test, validation and in-service support. Your expertise in areas such as Aerodynamics;
Propulsion;
Guidance, Navigation & Control; and Loads & Dynamics will drive the future of aerospace.

The Flight Systems Engineering Capability is an exciting organization in Boeing Defense, Space & Security responsible for performing Flight Engineering across a large portfolio of products and development programs. Product areas within the Flight Systems Capability in the St. Louis/St. Charles region include Fighter Aircraft, Unmanned Aircraft, and Missiles/Weapons Systems.
