Entry Level or Associate Aerospace Safety Engineer

Boeing • Mesa, AZ

1d • $71,400 - $119,600

About The Position

The Boeing Company’s Defense, Space & Security Vertical Lift Mission Assurance Organization is seeking an Aerospace Safety Engineer to join its System Safety Engineering Team in Mesa, Arizona, supporting the Attack Programs. The team is hiring at Entry Level (Level 1) and Associate (Level 2). The role assesses hazards across subsystems including airframe, electrical, mechanical, and software. The engineer works across the program lifecycle—from conceptual development through design, test, production, and sustainment of fielded aircraft for U.S. government and international customers—and interfaces with engineering, program management, customers, and regulatory agencies.

The position focuses on identifying potential hazards to aircraft and crew, developing and applying system safety analyses, and communicating safety and risk findings. Candidates should have an engineering-related degree and experience with aircraft systems; experience with aviation or rotorcraft and safety standards such as ARP 4761 and MIL-STD-882E is identified as desirable in the posting. Military experience is a plus. The role offers the opportunity to expand skills in a critical discipline and lead appropriate efforts.

This is a first-shift position. It is not safety-sensitive, does not require a security clearance, and is not contingent upon a program award. Applicants must meet U.S. export control requirements as a U.S. Person. The employer will not sponsor employment visas.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology (including Manufacturing Technology), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, or non-U.S. equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement.
• Level 1: experience in an engineering discipline.
• Experience with aircraft systems, such as navigation, avionics, fuel, hydraulics, or pneumatic systems, including operations and troubleshooting.
• Must meet U.S. export control compliance requirements as a U.S. Person.

Nice To Haves

• Level 2: 2 or more years of experience in an engineering discipline.
• Experience conducting first-flight readiness reviews or flight-test mission assurance readiness reviews.
• Experience with Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE).
• Experience applying systems engineering principles while developing complex hardware/software solutions on an aerospace platform.
• Experience with aviation or rotorcraft and safety standards such as ARP 4761 and MIL-STD-882E.
• Military experience.
• Strong technical writing and communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Evaluate customer specifications and regulations, and assess designs to develop safety requirements, constraints, and operating limits.
• Develop System Safety Program Plans (SSPPs).
• Perform hazard analyses throughout the product lifecycle, including FHA, PSSA, SSA, CMA, Zonal Analysis, PRA, OHHA, O&SHA, SHA, SAR, SSRE, and FTA.
• Review engineering design specifications, test and manufacturing operations, change proposals, anomaly reports, and deviation or waiver requests for potential safety impacts.
• Collaborate with government representatives, customers, and program domain experts.
• Prepare presentations, analyses, and reports for government/customer safety boards, program design reviews, and test/mission readiness reviews.
• Develop proposals, work statements, and specifications affecting system safety engineering scope and budget.
• Deliver oral and written system safety and risk presentations to peers, program management, senior leadership, customers, and regulatory agencies.

Benefits

• Competitive base pay and variable compensation opportunities.
• Eligible employees may enroll in health insurance, flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts, retirement savings plans, life and disability insurance programs, and programs providing paid and unpaid time away from work.
