Job Description At Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better place. 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. 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) to join our team in Berkeley, MO.

This team is part of the Composites, Materials, & Structures organization within BTI. This group has a dual mission to
1) Execute Research and Development in the technical area of next-generation thermoset composites, with a particular focus on Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) relevant materials and
2) Develop and mature applications for these new 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 be asked to lead manufacturing risk reduction demonstration programs to de-risk and accelerate adoption of new composite materials and manufacturing processes for BDS programs.

This 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.

Position Responsibilities:

* 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
