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.

Boeing’s Phantom Works Missile Defense National Teams are hiring Systems Engineers to work Colorado Springs, CO at the intersection of mission outcomes, architecture, analysis, integration, and test.

On the Boeing-led Systems Engineering and Integration (SE&I) National Team
, you’ll help the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) shape system-level concepts, architectures, requirements, and assessments that drive incremental upgrades to America’s Missile Defense System.

On the Command, Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2

BMC) National Team
, you’ll help evolve the integrating element that links sensors and weapons and synchronizes operations to deliver a layered defense across all phases of flight.

Our teams are currently hiring a broad range of Senior (Level 5-6) Systems Engineers in the following disciplines:

• Systems Architecture, Requirements and Interfaces
• Systems Integration, Verification, & Validation
• Modeling and Simulation

Depending on your assignment, you will contribute across mission assessment, architecture, requirements, Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE), integration, and test – often with direct collaboration across Boeing, industry partners, and government stakeholders.

• Define and evolve the MDA/C2
  
  BMC system architecture
• Develop and maintain requirements and architecture artifacts (including interface definitions) to support missile defense capabilities
• Run and support architecture and requirements trade studies to recommend options that improve mission performance, cost/schedule, and technical feasibility
• Own and improve the requirements management engine: planning, organizing, implementing, and monitoring of requirements processes and tools (including traceability, change control, and quality)
• Lead program-level risks/issues/opportunities tracking and technology readiness assessments as they relate to architecture and requirements decisions
• Collaborate frequently with MDA, warfighters, and industry partners to align requirements, interfaces, and system priorities
• Lead cross-functional teams in developing products and interacting with government customers

• Plan and execute integration and checkout work – define tasks, schedule them, assign work, monitor completion, and keep the integration plan moving
• Evaluate results from integration/checkout activities and determine whether they meet checkout requirements so the team can proceed to the next stage
• Define and drive the overall integration and test (I&T) strategy (processes, tools, and metrics) to ensure we verify requirements effectively and consistently
• Execute and document integration and test events, including capturing results, issues, and evidence needed for verification
• Partner with integration/test SMEs to solve complex system problems spanning process, tools, regulations, and system-specific issues
• Identify and implement tool/process improvements that reduce friction and increase throughput (automation, reporting, repeatable workflows).
• Lead cross-functional teams in developing products and interacting with government customers

• Evaluate system performance across realistic scenarios and architectures to provide mission insight used by MDA and warfighters
• Build and maintain analysis tools across multiple levels of fidelity, including modeling and simulation that predicts performance against evolving threats
• Perform system and performance trade studies (mission effectiveness, architecture comparisons, “what-if” analyses) to inform technical decisions
• Develop and improve modeling approaches to ensure results are credible, repeatable, and decision-useful (assumptions, data handling, validation/verification of models)
• Use modeling, simulation, and quantitative methods to provide…
