The Boeing Company

The Boeing Company is currently seeking a Senior Program Management Systems Specialist to join the team in Berkeley, MO; Seal Beach, CA; or Seattle, WA. 

This role provides senior technical leadership across a portfolio of critical Boeing Defense, Space and Security (BDS) Program Management systems, strengthening engineering quality, reducing technical debt, and keeping production platforms stable and supportable.

The key focus of the role is leading the multi-year transition of BDS Master Production Scheduling (MPS) from the legacy Boeing Recurring and Independent Demand Scheduling System (BRAIDSS) capability to a future-state SAP solution.

MPS is the detailed plan that drives the timing and quantity of components needed to build an airplane, so the transition must be executed program-by-program with disciplined integration, cutover readiness, and coexistence planning, protecting production execution and business commitments while legacy operations remain stable until the final site is migrated.

Position Responsibilities:

• Provide senior technical leadership across multiple enterprise applications that support program execution, reporting, and compliance needs

• Lead solution design and integration decisions to meet security, reliability, performance, and supportability requirements

• Establish and reinforce engineering standards and operational practices that improve delivery quality and reduce technical debt

• Lead incident response and root-cause analysis efforts and drive preventive fixes that measurably improve stability

• Provide technical oversight and coordination for both internal and/or vendor/supplier-delivered work, including quality expectations and delivery governance

• Create and execute modernization and transition strategies that maintain continuity of service during multi-year rollouts

• Partner with stakeholders and cross-functional Information Technology (IT) teams to align technical execution to business outcomes and delivery commitments

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience):

• Bachelor’s degree or higher

• 5+ years of experience with systems analysis involving: business/system requirements, functional decomposition and allocation, integrated design, evaluation, and verification

• 5+ years of experience in production operations or a support role involving end user/customer support for IT systems

• 5+ years of experience in the following areas: programming (e.g., C++, ColdFusion, Perl, Python, Bash, PHP, Fortran), operating systems (e.g., Windows, Unix, Solaris), and databases (e.g., Oracle, SQL)

Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):

• Experience using the Boeing Application Development & Sustaining (AD&S) process

• Experience supporting application stacks such as Oracle Forms, HCL Domino/HCL Notes/Domino Designer, and Microsoft ASP.NET Framework

• Experience supporting systems in restricted, proprietary, and/or regulated environments

• Experience leading modernization transitions (coexistence planning, rollout execution, cutover readiness, post-deploy stabilization)

• Experience sustaining legacy platforms while building a path to modernization (incremental improvement mindset)
