About The Position

The Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) organization is seeking a motivated, self-starting Chief Engineer for our Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Patriot Advanced Capability (PAC-3) program in Huntsville, AL. Boeing is seeking a Chief Engineer for the PAC-3 Seeker program. Boeing produces and sustains seekers for the U.S. Army’s PAC-3 Missile system in Huntsville, Alabama, as a subcontractor to Lockheed Martin. The Ka band millimeter seeker is the product of decades of research and development — providing active guidance data for target acquisition, optimal aim point and terminal guidance to defeat threats. Boeing recently completed a 28,000-square-foot expansion of its facilities, as well as a 9,000-square-foot expansion of its Huntsville Electronics Center of Excellence, to increase production in support of growing air and missile defense needs. A successful Chief Engineer will demonstrate knowledge and experience across a wide range of disciplines necessary to lead large multi-disciplinary engineering teams. They will work cross functionality across the program to resolve emerging technical issues, and develop strategies to improve production and engineering processes.
