We're committed to fostering an environment for every teammate that's welcoming, respectful and inclusive, with great opportunity for professional growth. Find your future with us. The Boeing Company is currently seeking an Mid-Level Composites Manufacturing Engineer to support our BTI Advanced Production & Automation (APA) team located in Tukwila, WA. The Boeing Company is looking for a Mid-level Composites Fabrication Manufacturing Engineer to join the BTI Advanced Production & Automation (APA) team in Tukwila, WA. APA is a research and development organization focused on developing and production-hardening new automated manufacturing technologies for the fabrication and assembly of aircraft parts. This team begins with ideas and through hands on experiments, tests, and demonstrations develops these concepts into implementable equipment and processing solutions that support multiple programs across Boeing's platforms. In our state-of-the-art composites fabrication and robotic automation labs, our engineers and technical analysts lead and execute a variety of composites materials & fabrication development projects to transform ideas into reality. We work closely with the BTI Materials & Structures, BCA Product Development, and BCA Airplane Program teams to identify, develop and transition technology needs to Boeing products. As a Manufacturing Engineer in APA, you will work independently and collaborate with experienced peers to create requirements for the fabrication, assembly and test of structural components to support the development of new production systems. You will work with our MP&P teams to transition new fabrication and assembly technologies into manufacturing demonstrations and test builds. The chosen candidate will be motivated, self-driven and will have excellent written and verbal communication skills. We are a collaborative team, and you will work with cross functional teammates including MP&P Engineers, IT and Software engineers, Design & Structural Engineers, Quality Engineers & Inspectors, Test Engineers & Operators, Assembly mechanics, and support teams; a collaborative attitude and the willingness to work together are vital to our team's success. A successful candidate in this role will have passion, creativity, and a strong desire for process improvement and efficiency. The ideal candidate will be a champion for transitioning Boeing's future digital thread through implementation in build demonstrations. They will also have a strong desire to be out on the production/laboratory floor leading and providing hands on support to the manufacturing tasks. With our variety of work, you won't be bored!
