Experienced Systems Engineer

Company:
The Boeing Company The Boeing Defense (BDS), Security, Space, Intelligence & Weapons Systems (SIWS) is seeking multiple Experienced Systems Engineers to join our Experimental Systems Group (ESG) at Kennedy Space Center, FL.

At Boeing, our Systems Engineers drive the innovation, development, evaluation, and end-to-end execution of validation methods and test systems across manufacturing, refurbishment, integrated vehicle testing, and operational checkout.

In this role, you will operate across multiple engineering disciplines to verify system-of-systems performance, serving as the technical bridge between design intent, physical hardware validation, and flight readiness through the following responsibilities.

• Define, decompose, and coordinate system-level test and verification requirements derived from customer, mission, and operational needs
• Integrate cross-functional parameters across electrical, mechanical, fluids, thermal, and software interfaces to verify end-to-end compatibility and functional integrity
• Execute specialized analyses including safety, reliability, maintainability, testability, survivability, and requirement certification to optimize configurations for mission success
• Govern requirements management and verification tracking using formal tools, risk/opportunity frameworks, and readiness assessments to ensure complete verification closure
• Represent the system test organization directly in the factory, test cell, and post-production environments throughout hardware builds, integrated functional testing, and refurbishment cycles
• Conduct dynamic system test operations, translating complex flight and ground environments into actionable test procedures, instrumentation strategies, and acceptance criteria
• Author technical dispositions and engineering deviations for hardware non-conformances, operational limit exceedances, or test anomalies to maintain operational cadence without sacrificing safety or quality
• Execute rapid root-cause analysis (RCA), failure investigation, and multi-system troubleshooting to diagnose complex operational anomalies and flight hardware defects
• Identify, develop, and deploy continuous upgrades to test infrastructure, instrumentation setups, and operational processes to improve test cadence, reliability, and mission throughput

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology (including Manufacturing Technology), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement
• Active U.S. Top Secret / SCI security clearance (investigation active or open within the past 24 months; U.S. citizenship required)
• 5+ years of experience in an engineering role
• Ability to analyze and interpret engineering drawings, schematics, wiring diagrams, and parts lists
• Strong skills in engineering analysis, requirements tracing, and technical communication

• Experience in system-level test and verification of space vehicles or space systems
• Cross-functional leadership skills and experience working with multi-discipline teams
• Knowledge of aerospace avionics, electrical systems, and RF test equipment
• Familiarity with approved repair and testing techniques for electronics and components
• Experience with hardware and software requirements verification using tools like DOORS
• Scripting experience for test automation or data processing (e.g., Python, Tcl/Tk, Perl)
• Experience with configuration management and tracking tools (e.g., Git, SVN, PLM, Jira, MS Project)

Successful candidates for this job must satisfy the Company’s Conflict of Interest (COI) assessment process.
