Company:

The Boeing Company

Boeing Global Services, Cabin, Modifications, Maintenance (CMM) is a One Boeing opportunity to engage across the business units and global design centers.  BGS CMM - Systems Engineering is seeking a high performing Extended Operations Performance Standards (ETOPS) Engineer (Mid-Level, Lead or Senior) to join this talented and fast-paced team, reporting to the BGS CMM Avionics Manager in Long Beach, California.

The engineer will join and inspire a group of employees performing engineering, technical, and regulatory tasks that provide engineering solutions for multiple Boeing Global Services commercial modifications business units as well as integrating with a Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) ETOPS team.

The position includes responsibility for developing and executing project and process plans, as well as implementing policies and procedures.  This role includes a significant level of developing and mentoring systems engineers in ETOPS design, integration and certification.

The primary focus for this role is ETOPS which ensures Boeing aircraft are designed, built, tested, and supported for extended operations (especially over water), enabling Boeing customers to fly long range missions in a more direct route to/from suitable airports. ETOPS is heavily regulated and has considerable certification aspects, including focus on safety, airplane maintenance and operational procedures.

This work involves close coordination with Boeing engineers and certification specialists to ensure all activities required for ETOPS certification of Boeing commercial and military commercial derivative airplanes are accomplished. As an ETOPS Engineer, you will be supporting all airplane programs on new, amended, and/or supplemental type certification and major airplane modification programs. You will be expected to coordinate, plan, prepare, review and execute ETOPS applicant certification work for submittal to the certification authorities, including the FAA, EASA, and other international validation bodies.  This position will give the candidate the opportunity to develop airplane level thinking and provide exposure to multiple disciplines/areas (such as propulsion, flight controls, avionics, safety, maintenance, regulatory administration) and many levels of program leadership throughout the Boeing Company.

Position responsibilities:

• Perform airplane-level evaluations of changes impacting ETOPS on multiple platforms (737, 747-8, 757 , 767, 777, 787) including retrofit modifications.
• Perform system-level evaluations and provide assistance related to ETOPS-significant systems in propulsion, systems, avionics, etc.
• Using project management practices, provide inputs to ETOPS certification plans and manage deliverables to closure.
• Prepare Major / Minor Determinations for ETOPS DAEs.
• Develop analytical, reliability, and empirically based ETOPS assessment reports.
• Review safety assessments (including Fault Tree Analysis) that pertain to ETOPS missions/diversions
• Develop configuration and conformity requirements for ETOPS including negotiating as required with Program, Regulatory Agencies, Suppliers, and Manufacturing/Quality.
• Integrate with BCA ETOPS team to support airplane program meetings and project reviews.
• Support customers (ETOPS) and in-service reliability tracking (ETOPS).
• Familiar with FAA regulations for ETOPS (e.g., 14 CFR 25.1535 & Appendix K).
• Able to perform Applicant role and complete training for ETOPS discipline specific and BPM 15.4 DAE role for ETOPS.
• Understanding of Boeing Procedures Manual Sections 15.1 and 15.4.
• Familiar with ETOPS Configuration, Maintenance and Procedures (CMP) document(s) and CMP change proposals and also with the ETOPS requirements for the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) and lead on AFM change proposals.
• Knowledge and experience with the BPSM Process (RCA, Corrective Actions, etc.)
• Other skills of this role:
  • Development of specifications, architectural and configuration concepts for associated vehicle systems to meet customer and regulatory requirements.
  • Configuration and design of ETOPS systems  and components to meet all vehicle design and performance criteria.
  • Use of various testing, analysis, modeling, and simulation tools to estimate or calculate ETOPS system performance and demonstration of compliance to the ETOPS regulations.
  • Development of concepts for future ETOPS systems to meet anticipated requirements.
  • Works under minimal direction.
• Future Skill Development and Statement of Work
  • Be able to document Major/Minor Determinations in Boeing Design Change Classificat
