This is an opportunity for a seasoned Manufacturing Engineer who wants to take on challenging work, influence high-impact programs, and help drive the performance of one of the most important aerospace manufacturing operations in the industry. If you are motivated by solving difficult problems, improving production systems, and working on programs that matter, this role offers the scale, complexity, and purpose you've been looking for.

Position Overview: In this role, you will support airplane subsystem manufacturing
, production readiness
, and delivery center flyaway operations
. You will be a key technical leader, partnering across engineering, operations, quality, and supply chain to improve producibility, strengthen manufacturing processes, and ensure successful delivery of advanced aerospace products.

This position is ideal for an engineer who thrives in a fast-paced environment, brings strong technical judgment, and wants to make a visible impact on production performance, execution, and continuous improvement.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work on advanced aerospace and defense programs with real mission impact.
• Be part of a team solving high-complexity manufacturing challenges at scale.
• Have direct influence on production performance, process improvement, and delivery success.
• Collaborate with highly skilled engineers and cross-functional experts across multiple disciplines.
• Contribute to one of Boeing's most strategically important manufacturing locations.
• Join an organization that values technical depth, innovation, accountability, and continuous improvement.

We're seeking a Manufacturing Engineer who brings:

• The ability to independently drive solutions in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
• Strong technical judgment and the ability to influence decisions across teams.
• A track record of improving processes, solving problems, and delivering results.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• A mindset focused on quality, efficiency, and continuous improvement.

What You'll Do

• Lead the development, refinement, and optimization of manufacturing processes for airplane subsystems and related production activities.
• Drive production readiness efforts by identifying risks, removing barriers, and improving process stability and execution.
• Serve as a trusted technical partner across engineering, quality, operations, and supply chain teams to resolve complex manufacturing issues.
• Support delivery center and flyaway operations by improving flow, increasing efficiency, and strengthening product quality and delivery performance.
• Apply data analysis, engineering principles, and hands-on problem solving to identify and implement meaningful improvements.
• Participate in design, production, and readiness reviews, providing expert input on manufacturability, assembly, tooling, producibility, and risk mitigation.
• Lead or contribute to root cause analysis, corrective action, and systemic problem-solving efforts.
• Help ensure a safe, efficient, and high-performing production environment.
• Influence improvements that support cost, schedule, quality, and delivery objectives.

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills and Experience):

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology (including Manufacturing Technology), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent…
