.

The team performing this work provides an innovation‑friendly environment, with high levels of inter‑team collaboration, peer mentoring, and significant opportunities for individual empowerment and project leadership. This position encourages using your personal education, experience, and technical skills to:

• Develop and run automated digital data processing software applications to merge and convert raw data files into output products for engineering visualizations.
• Develop autonomous and semi‑autonomous systems analysis applications based on digital neural nets, machine learning, and digital models.
• Develop algorithms to support automated systems performance assessments.
• Perform root‑cause analysis and troubleshooting to identify and sort actual problems from non‑problems.
• Develop characterizations of systems and analyze their real‑world performance against digital models.

Direct and frequent interaction across multiple engineering groups and technical teams is encouraged and supported for knowledge sharing and investigative engineering tasks. Strong Python, C#, and scripting skills, along with an innovation mindset, are highly desired. Leadership skills will be nurtured to allow you to plan, communicate, coordinate, and execute complex data engineering‑related activities.

If selected, you will be routinely exposed to a wide variety of projects involving advanced technology systems during their early development phase. You will also gain hands‑on experience with cutting‑edge systems where innovative problem solving is embraced. In this role you will design and develop new data tools/algorithms based on digital automation, pattern recognition, machine learning/neural nets, and digital performance models;

and use these tools to evaluate the latest electronic and weapons systems that Boeing and other contractors have created for integration onto F‑15 fighter aircraft. You will receive self‑paced on‑site training and structured hands‑on experience to become a subject‑matter expert on a variety of aircraft, weapons, sensors and data analysis projects, including onboard fire‑control radar systems, electronic jammers, RF and IR sensors, onboard core computing systems, radar and IR‑guided missiles, control systems, jet engines, satellite navigation/communication systems, and encrypted aircraft data networks.
