About The Position

The Boeing Company is currently seeking an Composite Material Process & Physics (MP&P) Engineer to support our Composite Materials & Structures (CMS) team located in North Charleston, SC. Our teams are currently hiring for a broad range of experience levels including: Associate, and Experienced level Composite Material Process & Physics (MP&P) Engineer. CMS is a research and development organization within the Engineering & Technology Innovation (E&TI) organization focused on technology development of composite fabrication techniques and next generation material systems. The team matures technology through testing, analysis, and demonstration for the intent of transitioning to existing or future Boeing platforms. In our state-of-the-art composite fabrication labs, our engineers and technical analysts lead and execute a variety of composite materials & fabrication development projects, transforming ideas into reality. We work closely with other E&TI groups, Boeing Commercial Airlines (BCA) Product Development (PD), BCA Airplane Program teams, and Boeing Defense & Space counterparts to identify, develop and transition technology needs to Boeing products. As a Composites MP&P engineer, you will work both independently and collaborate with experienced peers, leads, and mentors to develop and/or mature new fabrication methods on existing or next generation materials, perform composite fabrication and forming processes in support of technology development, and manage projects and tasks for development research programs. The chosen candidate will be motivated, self-driven and will have excellent written and verbal communication skills. A successful candidate will employ technical creativity, passion for continuous improvement, and enjoy hands-on lab-based activities. This is an on-site position, and you will be expected to spend most of your time in a laboratory environment. We are a collaborative team, therefore you will work with cross-functional teammates including Material Processes & Physics (MP&P) Engineers, Design & Structural Engineers, Quality Engineers & Inspectors, Test Engineers & Operators, Assembly Mechanics, and support teams, so a collaborative attitude and the willingness to work together are vital to our team’s success.
