About The Position

The Boeing Test and Evaluation (BT&E) team is seeking an Associate Manufacturing Engineer in Berkeley, Missouri. This assembly and installation engineering role supports fabrication planning and setup or installation through design reviews, manufacturing plan authorship, and sourcing fabrication within or outside Boeing. The engineer provides support during aircraft installation and laboratory setup and works closely with in-house tooling and aircraft mechanics.

The Structures Lab supports structural testing for Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) programs in St. Louis and St. Charles, from component tests through full-scale aircraft testing. Manufacturing Engineers own the build plan and ensure compliance with design configuration, build-plan, and process requirements. They perform Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) analysis and develop integrated build plans, including assembly and fabrication work instructions, kitting, tooling, inspection requirements, and other outputs needed to meet design, test, and program requirements.

The role may support programs including T-7A Redhawk, MQ-25A Stingray, Phantom Works and Boeing Weapons programs, as well as F-15 and F/A-18. The position is expected to be 100% onsite in Berkeley, Missouri. Relocation is available based on candidate eligibility.
