About The Position

The Boeing Company is looking for an Applied Physics Engineer to join the Boeing Engineering & Technology Innovation (E&TI) Applied Physics team in Tukwila, Washington. As an early career Engineer in the E&TI Applied Physics team, you will work with senior lab personnel to perform testing to validate the performance of components designed to fly on Boeing products. The role supports both the Shock Physics and Radiation Effects Labs. As a member of the Shock Physics Lab, you will work with other lab members to design, build, and perform laboratory testing of gaseous combustion, ballistic impact, hypervelocity impact, blast loading, and other high strain-rate systems. In the Boeing Radiation Effects Lab (BREL), you will design, build, and perform laboratory testing of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation effects assessments of electrical components and materials. These tests will support product development and certification for a broad dynamic range of Boeing programs including those in our Boeing Commercial Airplane (BCA) and Boeing Defense and Space (BDS) business units.
