Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) has an exciting opportunity for a Process Engineer (Experience, Senior or Principal) to join the Supplier Engineering Excellence team based in Everett, Washington.

The Process Engineer will lead cross-functional projects that eliminate systemic compliance escapements originating in Boeing and Supplier processes. The role is focused on driving sustained corrective actions, value stream optimization, and configuration-controlled design/supplier solutions to mitigate supplier design compliance escapes and ensure suppliers have all their applicable supplier-delivered specifications, documents, and drawings meet Boeing and FAA requirements. This is a deliverables-focused role that requires a self-starter who can lead project teams, present to senior leadership and regulators, and close compliance gaps end-to-end.

Primary Responsibilities: 

• Lead end-to-end projects to identify, contain, and eliminate systemic supplier compliance escapements (e.g., unreported supplier changes, missing compliance data, incorrect major/minor determinations).

• Facilitate and execute Value Stream Mapping (VSM) to define As-Is and To-Be processes for Supplier Change Notifications (SCNs), engineering-supplier handoffs, and product data flows.

• Lead Root Cause Corrective Action (RCCA) efforts, perform in-depth causal analysis, define corrective and preventive actions, manage implementation, and verify sustained effectiveness.

• Develop, author, and institutionalize process documents, checklists, work instructions, and governance artifacts to ensure repeatable compliance outcomes.

• Define and execute project plans, schedules, risks, and resourcing to deliver on time, measurable results; own deliverables and closure criteria.

• Lead and coordinate cross-functional project teams (Supply Chain, Quality, Engineering, Program DOEs, IT, Contracts) to remediate issues listed in the team charter and similar findings.

• Prepare and deliver clear, executive-level briefings and technical reports to internal stakeholders, Boeing VPs, and the FAA.

• Partner with Supplier Quality, Engineering IT, and PLM/Data Management to enable tooling, data governance, and digital thread practices that reduce future compliance risk.

• Train and coach suppliers and internal stakeholders on supplier notification requirements, Boeing drawing conventions, and compliance expectations; support delivery of Supplier Compliance training modules.

• Track metrics and maintain program artifacts required for audits and continuous improvement (e.g., SCN audit documentation, delinquencies, on-time processing).

• Demonstrated project leadership: plan, run, and close project teams to deliver measurable program outcomes on schedule.

• Continuous improvement frameworks: value stream mapping, root cause analysis, Kaizen.

• Comfort with data-driven decision making and use of metrics to demonstrate closure and sustainability.

• Exceptional written and oral communication skills; capable of concise technical and executive briefings, including FAA regulators and senior leadership.

• Self-starter with strong initiative, prioritization, and judgment in ambiguous environments.
