Position: T-7A Aero Performance Engineer

T-7A Aero Performance Engineer

Company:
The Boeing Company

The Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) team is seeking an Experienced or Senior Aero Performance Engineer to support the T-7A program based in Berkeley, MO.

Boeing is recruiting for an Aero Performance engineer to work on the exciting new Air Force trainer, the T-7A program which is wrapping up the EMD phase (engineering, manufacturing, and development) and starting into LRIP (low-rate initial production. The T-7A will replace the current Air Force T-38 trainer.

The successful candidate will work with two other experienced engineers in support of T-7A Aero Performance flight testing and analysis of the flight test data. Development of aerodynamic analysis for the T-7A Substantiating Data Report and generating performance charts for the T-7A flight manual will also be part of the responsibilities of this position. In the future, this role could transition into supporting development of variants of the T-7A aircraft.

This position will also be part of the Flight Engineering Capability which supports all aspects of the product life cycle with aerodynamic engineering design, analysis, testing, integration, demonstration, and certification.
