Job Description Qualifications:

We are Boeing Research & Technology (BR&T): Boeing's global research and development team creating and implementing innovative technologies that make the impossible possible and enabling the future of aerospace.  We are engineers and technicians, skilled scientists, and bold innovators; Join us and put your passion, determination, and skill to work building the future! #TheFutureIsBuiltHere #ChangeTheWorld

Boeing is seeking a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer in Huntington Beach, California, with experience in the development of structures for space and airborne platforms to perform design, analysis, and test of cutting edge precision electro-optical systems.

The selected Engineers would work as part of a multi-disciplinary team supporting the development of both directed energy and electro-optical systems.

This position is part of the rapidly growing Electro-Optics Infrared (EO/IR) Mission Systems team within BR&T. This team has more than quadrupled in size over the past 18 months due to new contract wins, and continues to see increased demand from Boeing’s customers. We’re designing, building, and testing cutting edge sensor systems for airborne and space platforms.  Our focus is always on the mission – connecting people through safer air travel and protection of the warfighter from its adversaries.

This isn’t your typical Boeing team – we are focused on the entire lifecycle of design: from modeling and simulation of new ideas, through prototype demonstrations, and eventually transitioning to production systems. Our team provides complete engineering solutions to Boeing and its customers, including systems engineering, optics design, mechanical design, algorithms, software development, firmware development, electronics, and advanced system modeling and simulations.

If you’re interested in working in a fast-paced environment while taking a design from clean sheet of paper through flight demonstration, ideally with some technology that’s never been flown before, then this is the group for you!

Position Responsibilities:

• Utilize CAD for mechanical designs

• Assist and Collaborate with Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

• Collaborating with peers on design

• Presenting designs to management, senior leaders, and customers

• Hands on hardware integration

This position is expected to be 100% onsite.  The selected candidate will be required to work onsite at one of the listed location options.

This position requires the ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance for which the U.S. Government requires U.S. Citizenship. An interim and/or final U.S. Top Secret/SSBI clearance Post-Start is required.

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience):

• Bachelor of Science degree from an accredited course of study in engineering, engineering technology (includes manufacturing engineering technology), chemistry, physics, mathematics, data science, or computer science

• 5+ years of experience in a mechanical engineering role

• Experience with engineering release processes, engineering requirements and documentation associated with space products

• Ability and willingness to travel domestically up to 15%

Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):

• Experience with electro-optic development programs

• Experience with systems engineering and integration of complex systems

• Experience with Finite Element Analysis tools such as Hypermesh, Inspire, FEMAP, ANSYS and other industry FEA tools

• Experience technical analysis (i.e., Structural, Thermal, Dynamics, etc.)

• Experience working with Solid Works, NX, Creo, Teamcenter and other industry standard CAD and PDM tools

• Active U.S. Top Secret / SSBI Security Clearance (U.S. Citizenship Required). (A U.S. Security Clearance that has been active in the past 24 months is considered active)

Typical Education/Experience:

Education/experience typically acquired through advanced technical education from an accredited course of study in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics or chemistry (e.g. Bachelor) and typically 9 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience (e.g. PhD+4 years' related work experie
