The Boeing Company

The Boeing Compliance Investigations Team is looking for an Airworthiness & Regulatory Specialist to join our team in Everett, WA.

Our teams are currently hiring for a broad range of experience levels including Experienced (Level 3) and Senior (Level 4) System Safety Engineer.

Are you passionate about safety and compliance? Would you like to contribute to the world’s safest

transportation system?

As an investigator in the Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) Safety and Compliance Investigations

(S&CI) team, you will have the opportunity to work independently while leading teams tasked with

performing detailed Root Cause Corrective Action (RCCA) investigations related to regulatory compliance issues. This activity enables program and functional leadership to understand the systemic root causes of compliance issues and implement effective corrective actions that contain the issue and prevent recurrence. This position offers exposure to all aspects of airplane certification across the airplane lifecycle. The importance of this function can’t be over-stated as you will contribute to Boeing product safety by maintaining and restoring compliance with regulatory requirements.

Investigations typically follow the Boeing Problem Solving Model (BPSM) process, which provides a

structured approach to investigations. Engagement with company leadership, certification experts, and functional experts from across the company make this position highly invigorating. We have a close-knit group with dedicated mentors and RCCA experts available for consultation.

We value the ability to communicate complex technical issues with a large variety of audiences, to lead a group of diverse engineers and non-engineers, and to apply airplane level thinking to a variety of technical issues. As such, we are a valued resource to the broader Chief Aviation Safety Office (CASO), the programs we support, as well as executive leadership.

As a strong component to product safety and compliance, 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 items.

Come join the BCA S&CI team to help ensure our products remain the safest form of travel available into the future!
