Electrical Engineer

The Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) organization is seeking an Electrical Engineer to lead Requirements, Verification, and Integration efforts for next-generation AEW&C applications. This position is based in Tukwila, Washington, and reports to the Flight Deck Systems Senior Manager. This role will be 100% onsite in Tukwila, WA.

As part of Boeing's Defense, Space & Security organization, you will play a critical role in the integration, test, and operation of the E-7 Wedgetail, the U.S. Air Force's next-generation Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft. You will work across multi-disciplinary teams to ensure that the aircraft's complex systems—including, avionics, flight controls, communications, and mission systems—are successfully integrated, tested, and delivered to the warfighter.

This position provides a unique opportunity to combine systems engineering discipline, airplane systems knowledge, and hands-on integration/test operations, directly supporting Boeing's mission to enable global reach for the U.S. and allied forces.

Position Responsibilities:

• Lead airplane-level and system-level integration of hardware and software for E-7 Avionics Systems.
• Independently develop Supplier Statements of Work, requirements for qualification testing, perform Technical Evaluations as well as Similarity Analyses.
• Coordinate requirements definition, traceability, validation, and verification for the E-7 Program across systems engineering, IPTs, design, test, and customer teams to ensure first-time quality.
• Apply knowledge of airplane systems (avionics, refueling systems, electrical power, hydraulics, environmental controls, and flight controls) to support design, integration, and troubleshooting.
• Develop and maintain Concept of Operations (CONOPS), operational documentation, and system use cases.
• Plan and execute ground and flight test campaigns, including creation of test procedures, readiness reviews, and post-test analysis.
• Serve on test and operations consoles during lab, ground, and flight test events.
• Support troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and corrective action for system integration issues.
• Collaborate with avionics, communications, flight controls, and mission systems engineering teams to ensure seamless cross-system integration.
• Provide input to design reviews, safety reviews, and certification activities.
• Drive continuous improvement in integration processes, maintainability, and operability of E-7 systems.
• Demonstrate leadership in cross-functional teams, guiding technical discussions, aligning stakeholders, and ensuring accountability across disciplines.
• Communicate effectively with engineering teams, program management, customers, and leadership through clear technical writing, presentations, and real-time decision-making.
