About The Position

The Boeing Defense, Space & Security organization is seeking entry-level aircraft focused Aerodynamics Engineers to join the Flight Systems Capability Aerodynamics Team with the opportunity to provide engineering and technical decisions for Boeing Military Aircraft (B-1B, B-2, B-52), Military Derivative Aircraft (E-7 AEW&C (737), E-3 AWACS (707, 767), ETS&S(C-32/C-40, E-4B, VC-25A, VC-25B), Tankers (KC-135, KC-767)) and other diverse aircraft and projects. This Associate level position will be located in Oklahoma City, OK and on the job training will be provided, initially working under close supervision. Assignments will provide an excellent opportunity to learn aircraft aerodynamics analytical methods, tools such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and wind tunnel testing, and other skills needed to generate aircraft flight performance data charts and assess stability & control characteristics for these various platforms. This position will also assist with certification and qualification processes of the aerodynamic characteristics of flight vehicles. This position is expected to be 100% onsite.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited course of study in engineering, engineering technology, physics, or mathematics
• General understanding of aircraft flight characteristics
• General understanding of aerodynamic analysis methods such as wind tunnel testing or computational fluid dynamics
• This position requires the ability to obtain a US Security Clearance for which the US Government requires US Citizenship as a condition of employment.
• This position must meet U.S. export control compliance requirements. To meet U.S. export control compliance requirements, a “U.S. Person” as defined by 22 C.F.R. §120.62 is required. “U.S. Person” includes U.S. Citizen, U.S. National, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee.

• 2 or more years related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience
• Familiarity with aerodynamic analysis principles, processes, methods, and aerodynamic testing of flight vehicles
• Familiarity with aircraft performance and stability & control
• Experience with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis
• Experience with wind tunnel and flight testing of aircraft designs
• Programming experience (e.g. Python, FORTRAN)

Responsibilities

• Assists with the design and analysis of aerodynamic/aerothermodynamic flight vehicles to ensure that requirements are met.
• Supports the development of new and improving existing technologies, tools and processes to enhance technology readiness, improve vehicle performance and reduce cycle time and cost.
• Assists with development of test requirements (e.g., wind tunnel, ground, flight, accident and incident and product support testing of aerodynamics or aeroheating/thermal characteristics) of flight vehicles.
• Assists in training.
• Works under general supervision.

Benefits

• Elements of the Total Rewards package include competitive base pay and variable compensation opportunities.
• The Boeing Company also provides eligible employees with an opportunity to enroll in a variety of benefit programs, generally including health insurance, flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts, retirement savings plans, life and disability insurance programs, and a number of programs that provide for both paid and unpaid time away from work.
