About The Position

Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) seeks an Antenna SubSytems Engineer to join our team in El Segundo, California. As an Antenna Subsystems Engineer you will design, develop, and deliver state-of-the-art communication systems for space-based applications for commercial, civil and/or national security programs. You will work with a highly motivated team that works with domestic or international customers on their latest satellite systems. Be part of a systems engineering team that specializes in antenna subsystem design and development for satellite systems. Work with large cross-functional teams including customers, suppliers, hardware and software engineers, integration and test engineers, and senior technologists to ensure that the final products meet the mission objectives. You will perform system analyses and simulations for space communications systems (including communications links and capacity modeling), optimize the system design by performing trade studies, flow down and verify subsystem and unit requirements, develop ConOps, and support hardware integration, verification, validation, qualification, and delivery activities. You will become the focal point for your area of responsibility! Project assignments typically span the complete program life cycle, from internal trades, concept studies and system definition, to satellite development, launch, and on-orbit operations and test. This is a 1st shift position.
