BCA In-Service Safety Organization is looking for multiple System Safety Engineers (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 safety issues for systemic causes and defining actions to prevent recurrence of the safety issue.  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 production, 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. 

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, operations, 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. 

Position Responsibilities:

• For any event designated as Safety, the BCA In-Service Airplane Safety Engineering (ASE) team leads cross functional teams through the Safety Lesson Learned process

• We lead Safety Lessons Learned investigations to identify systemic root causes and contributing factors (requirements, process changes, etc.) and associated actions to prevent safety issue recurrence on future designs

• We coordinate closely with Boeing functional groups, management, executives, suppliers, and production to ensure all stakeholders are aligned on safety investigation process and the resulting Root Cause Corrective Action (RCCA)

• We work with functional groups within Boeing to investigate all aspects of the design, manufacturing, maintenance, and operational processes, bringing together multi-discipline teams to develop company level solutions for highly integrated and complex product safety concerns

• We coordinate within Boeing and the supply chain to ensure systemic root causes are adequately addressed in order to prevent recurrence of the safety concerns

• We coordinate closely with the FAA to ensure the regulators have visibility of the safety investigation and resulting actions

• 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 multi-discipline 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 diversity 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!
