The Boeing Company

Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) In-Service Safety organization is looking for a System Safety Engineer (Associate, Mid-Level, or Senior) to join our team in Everett, Washington.

Are you passionate about safety? Would you like to contribute to the world’s safest transportation system?

As an engineer in the BCA In-Service Safety organization you will have the opportunity to work independently while leading teams tasked with evaluating potential safety issues and making recommendations for product safety decisions.  This activity enables program and functional leadership to render informed safety decisions and preserves the operational safety of the commercial fleet going forward.  This position offers exposure to all aspects of airplane design and operation, mainly focused on evaluating the safety of our products during operation in service.  The importance of this function can’t be over-stated as you will contribute to ensuring product safety for BCA. 

Potential safety issue evaluations include consideration of the intended performance of the airplane design, published operational and maintenance guidance, and aspects involving human factors and the human/machine interface.  Frequent engagement with our Air Safety Investigation group, quality organizations, certification experts, and functional team experts from across the company make the position highly invigorating.  We have a close-knit group with dedicated advisors and mentors to provide support in this highly collaborative teaming environment. 

Our teams are currently hiring for a broad range of experience levels including Associate, Experienced and Senior Level Safety Engineers.

Position Responsibilities:

• For any event reported through 14 CFR 21.3, the BCA In-Service Airplane Safety Engineering (ASE) team leads the functional engineering organizations (Systems, Structures, Payloads, Propulsion) through the Continued Operational Safety process

• We coordinate closely with Boeing functional groups, management and executives, suppliers, and airlines to ensure all stakeholders are aligned on the potential safety issue status and resolution

• We work with functional groups within Boeing to evaluate potential safety issues by defining the associated hazards, using complex risk analysis techniques to evaluate these hazards, and using both Boeing and FAA methodologies to determine the corrective action timeline, in order to ensure the issue is addressed before safety risk thresholds are reached

• We coordinate with functional groups within Boeing to ensure the solutions mitigate the potential fleet safety concern

• We lead Safety Lessons Learned investigations to address systemic root causes (requirements, process changes, etc.) and identify corrective actions to prevent safety issue recurrence on the next design

• We coordinate closely with the FAA to ensure the regulators can make an informed, independent safety decision through the FAA safety process

• We partner with Enterprise Safety and Safety Management Systems (SMS) to continuously improve our processes and tools to ensure we are ready for the future of BCA and to ensure these processes are consistent with the greater Boeing Enterprise

• We act as a champion for product safety initiatives, objectives, and milestones

We value the ability to communicate complex technical issues with a large variety of audiences, to lead a group of engineers and non-engineers, and to apply airplane level thinking to a variety of technical issues.  As such, we are considered to be a valued resource by the broader safety organization, the programs we support, as well as executive leadership.

We also recognize that culture is a strong component in product safety and we recognize that a variety of different thoughts, contributions, backgrounds and opinions are necessary in order to make the safest product we can.

We enjoy a good work-life balance, although occasional overtime may be required for urgent safety items.

Come join the BCA Airplane Safety Engineering team to help ensure our products remain the safest form of travel available into the future!
