RouteSync is a flight-efficiency system that uplinks an airline’s Operational Flight Plan and the latest weather (winds/temperatures) via ACARS to the aircraft Flight Management Computer, enabling more accurate trajectory predictions, reducing pilot workload, and minimizing manual entry errors.

In this role, the Systems Engineer will own system‑level design, development, customer onboarding, Boeing’s flight plan, performance, and weather uplink solution to the Flight Management System. The Systems Engineer will work closely with airline customers, flight‑deck systems (FMS/EFB), datalink (ACARS/AOC), cloud services, industry and dispatcher operations to define future capabilities, requirements, validate integrations, and deliver reliable pre‑flight and enroute synchronization capabilities.

Position Responsibilities:

• Applies an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach to lead activities to plan, design, develop and verify complex lifecycle balanced system and system solutions

• Define system interfaces and integration points with airline AOC systems, Flight Planning systems, datalink systems, FMS and monitoring tools

• Support customer onboarding: integration planning, configuration, test plans, deployments and monitoring

• Create system test cases, perform integration testing, and analyze logs to troubleshoot uplink/downlink failures

• Coordinate across products, software engineering, QA, operations, and airline stakeholders to deliver releases and resolve field issues

• Research and recommend new system requirements to improve product capabilities

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to improve aircraft performance and efficiency

• Conduct research and stay updated on industry trends, competition offerings and advancements in datalink, navigation, air traffic management and weather sources

• Support the team from different time zones, ensuring seamless communication and collaboration
