The Boeing Test And Evaluation (BT&E) organization is seeking an Associate Electrical Design and Analysis Engineer to join their team in Patuxent, Maryland.

The selected candidate will provide engineering support that focuses on the V-22 Flight Control System. Responsibilities include troubleshooting and maintaining the V-22 Flight Control System (FCS) from an engineering perspective, loading Flight Controls software, participating in pre/post flight briefings, and answering squawks from test flights. To effectively accomplish these tasks, this position must develop a good overall understanding of the V-22 FCS design, consisting of mechanical, hydro-mechanical, electronic, and software components.

This role requires rapid problem-solving, strong systems-level understanding of the V-22 FCS, and effective collaboration with government and civilian team members in a test-flight environment.

Position

Responsibilities Include:

• Works with customers to develop and document complex electronic and electrical system requirements
• Tests and validates to ensure system designs meet operational and functional requirements
• Perform engineering troubleshooting and sustainment for the V-22 Flight Control System across mechanical, hydro-mechanical, electronic, and software domains
• Load, configure, and verify flight control software and associated avionics configurations for test aircraft
• Support and actively participate in pre-flight and post-flight briefings; document findings and recommended actions
• Diagnose flight test squawks, generate engineering dispositions, and coordinate corrective actions with cross-functional teams
• Develop and maintain a systems-level understanding of FCS architecture, interfaces, and performance characteristics
• Coordinate work with government customers, test pilots, maintainers, and other engineering stakeholders in a team environment
• Produce clear technical reports, test logs, and handover documentation

• 1 or more years of experience with fixed-wing and/or rotary wing aircraft platform
• Experience working in hardware systems test or design, lab testing, or systems engineering role
• Experience in Flight Control Systems
• Experience working with aircraft Systems Integration such as avionics, flight controls and other mechanical systems
• Physical ability to evacuate an aircraft, bend, stoop, or work in confined areas on an aircraft

Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):

• Active U.S. Secret Security Clearance (U.S. Citizenship Required). (A U.S. Security Clearance that has been active in the past 24 months is considered active.)
• 3 or more years of experience in fixed or rotary wing flight testing, or in engineering design technology or engineering test discipline
• Ability to work on or near a flight test aircraft with or without rotors turning (but not in flight)
