The Boeing Company is currently seeking an Composite Material Process & Physics (MP&P) Engineer to support our Composite Materials & Structures (CMS) team located in North Charleston, SC.

Our teams are currently hiring for a broad range of experience levels including:
Associate, and Experienced level Composite Material Process & Physics (MP&P) Engineer.

CMS is a research and development organization within the Engineering & Technology Innovation (E&TI) organization focused on technology development of composite fabrication techniques and next generation material systems. The team matures technology through testing, analysis, and demonstration for the intent of transitioning to existing or future Boeing platforms. In our state-of-the-art composite fabrication labs, our engineers and technical analysts lead and execute a variety of composite materials & fabrication development projects, transforming ideas into reality.

We work closely with other E&TI groups, Boeing Commercial Airlines (BCA) Product Development (PD), BCA Airplane Program teams, and Boeing Defense & Space counterparts to identify, develop and transition technology needs to Boeing products.

As a Composites MP&P engineer, you will work both independently and collaborate with experienced peers, leads, and mentors to develop and/or mature new fabrication methods on existing or next generation materials, perform composite fabrication and forming processes in support of technology development, and manage projects and tasks for development research programs. The chosen candidate will be motivated, self-driven and will have excellent written and verbal communication skills.

A successful candidate will employ technical creativity, passion for continuous improvement, and enjoy hands-on lab-based activities. This is an on-site position, and you will be expected to spend most of your time in a laboratory environment. We are a collaborative team, therefore you will work with cross-functional teammates including Material Processes & Physics (MP&P) Engineers, Design & Structural Engineers, Quality Engineers & Inspectors, Test Engineers & Operators, Assembly Mechanics, and support teams, so a collaborative attitude and the willingness to work together are vital to our team’s success.

Position Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with a highly motivated team of engineers and technicians to develop and optimize next generation composite material systems and composite material forming and fabrication techniques

• Apply engineering principles to improve or mature new and existing products and processes by working with engineers and technicians on the design, development, fabrication, testing, evaluation and implementation

• Collect, analyze, and report on experimental data; prepare summaries and present findings/progress

• Develop and maintain process documentation, work instructions, and process control plans for production transitions

• Take ownership of critical Boeing specifications for composite materials and/or fabrication processes

• Conduct supplier evaluations and material qualification activities

• Support the training and development of others

• Follow safety, quality, and environmental procedures in the lab and manufacturing areas

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/ Experience):

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement

• 2+ years of related work experience

Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):

• Understanding of mechanics of materials and material physics

• Understanding of composite materials and processing methods

• Knowledge…
