About The Position

The Boeing PAC-3 program is seeking a motivated Associate or Experienced Systems Engineer (LSE) to join our Gimbal Assembly Integrated Product Team (IPT) in Huntsville, AL. As a Systems Engineer for the Gimbal IPT, you will work closely with a multidisciplinary team of engineers to ensure the successful design and manufacturing of the Gimbal to meet the performance, reliability, and safety requirements of the seeker system. A successful candidate will be responsible for development and adherence of the Gimbal requirements and the interfaces of the Gimbal with the rest of the Seeker system. Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) Patriot Advanced Capability (PAC-3) program is an air-defense missile system designed to counter tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and advanced aircraft where Boeing is the original engineering manufacturer of the seeker. Boeing’s seekers provide active data to the PAC-3 missile which enables it to acquire, intercept and destroy threats using hit-to-kill technology. The PAC-3 Seeker team is a cross functional, highly skilled, motivated group embracing the beliefs that focused safety, execution, LEAN manufacturing and business practices will secure our future and well-being, driving our product to be the seeker of choice for the PAC-3 program and future generations of weapon systems. The program is producing seekers every day as well as developing a new design of the seeker.
