About The Position

The Boeing Experimental Systems Group (ESG) has an exciting opportunity for an Associate or Experienced ConOps & Architecture Engineer to join our team. As a ConOps & Architecture Engineer in ESG, you will have the opportunity to personally contribute to the development of new first-of-kind space vehicles and missions. The ESG portfolio consists of a range of platforms and technologies including the X-37B, the world’s first fully autonomous reusable spaceplane. As a member of our Systems Engineering Integration & Test (SEIT) Mission Design team, you will join a diverse team of system architects, Concept of Operations (ConOps) developers, fault and autonomy designers, and recommended operating procedure (ROP) authors. As a ConOps and Architecture Engineer, you will be expected to lead coordination across all internal and external stakeholders to drive development and implementation of an operational concept for an executable space mission. You will serve as a core point of contact for customers and will work directly with subject matter experts across the business to quickly iterate and converge on achievable solutions that meet our customers’ needs. Our development timelines are aggressive and you will be asked to develop solutions to previously unsolved problems. In this role, you will work in multidisciplinary teams to bring concept of operations to fruition in support of our customers’ mission objectives. You will work both as an individual contributor and as a project lead. An ideal candidate has a strong technical background across all spacecraft subsystems with particular depth in spacecraft operations, as well as a strong system background spanning both space and ground domains. You will need to be able to dive into broad, minimally-defined design spaces and effectively lead integrated efforts.
