About The Position

The Boeing Company’s Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) is seeking an Associate Test Engineer in Heath, Ohio. The role supports development and overhaul of hardware and software redesign strategies for test equipment used to test mechanical and electronic systems for U.S. strategic deterrence, Air Force and Navy guidance systems, and other military programs. The engineer works with multidisciplinary teams to develop, integrate, test, and deliver solutions in a casual but professional environment. Boeing describes long-term potential for growth into technical leadership or management roles.

The position supports engineering activities throughout a gated project management process, including interpreting engineering data, developing test methods and procedures, designing hardware or software, coordinating test-equipment manufacture and assembly, and evaluating test data. As equipment is replaced due to obsolescence, responsibilities also include revising drawings and documents and testing and qualifying overhauled equipment.

The role requires the ability to obtain a U.S. Secret Security Clearance after starting, for which U.S. citizenship is required. It must also meet U.S. export-control requirements; a U.S. Person as defined by 22 C.F.R. §120.62 is required. Boeing will not sponsor applicants for employment visa status. The position is not safety-sensitive and is not contingent upon program award.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology (including Manufacturing Technology), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, or a non-U.S. equivalent qualification directly related to the work.
• At least 2 years of related work experience and a bachelor’s degree, or an equivalent combination of related work experience and technical education.
• At least 1 year of manufacturing, production, or electrical/instrumentation engineering experience.
• Ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance; U.S. citizenship is required for this clearance, with an interim and/or final U.S. Secret Clearance required after starting.
• Meet U.S. export-control compliance requirements as a U.S. Person under 22 C.F.R. §120.62.
• Satisfy the Company’s Conflict of Interest (COI) assessment process.

Nice To Haves

• Proven record of developing or executing test plans or test procedures.
• Test software development and/or support experience using LabVIEW, Microsoft Visual Studio, or comparable programming languages.
• Experience in laboratory testing, data analysis, instrumentation, system integration, or manufacturing, particularly assembly, integration, and test.
• Government or Department of Defense program experience.

Responsibilities

• Support a project-management-based gated process using the phase-gate process.
• Assist in interpreting, analyzing, and developing engineering data—including blueprints, data sets, specifications, logic diagrams, and electrical circuit schematics—to support requirements.
• Assist in demonstrating the effectiveness of test methods.
• Develop test procedures, instrumentation, and configuration definitions needed to perform tests and minimize risk.
• Design component- and subassembly-level hardware or software and use analytical tools to verify designs.
• Assist in coordinating the manufacture and assembly of internally overhauled or third-party-procured test hardware.
• Identify solutions to basic problems and support the development of metrology processes, methods, and tools.
• Assist in evaluating test-performance data for accuracy, quality, and fidelity; alert senior engineers to off-nominal data and prepare test reports for review before delivery to the customer.
• Assist in developing test debrief materials.
• Collaborate with program management, design-authority engineering groups, operations, and government customer counterparts.
• Create, revise, and review drawings and documents as assemblies, instruments, cables, and interfaces are replaced due to obsolescence; conduct testing and qualification of overhauled test equipment.
• Provide test software development and/or support using LabVIEW, Microsoft Visual Studio, or comparable programming languages.

Benefits

• Competitive base pay and variable compensation opportunities.
• Eligible employees may enroll in benefit programs generally including health insurance, flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts, retirement savings plans, life insurance, and disability insurance.
