2d • $119,850 - $197,800 • Onsite

About The Position

Boeing Defense, Space and Security is seeking mid-level or lead DSP Algorithms Engineers to join its Space, Intelligence and Weapons Systems teams in El Segundo, California. The team oversees commercial and government satellite and ground programs supporting communications, national defense, and other missions. In this role, you will design and develop space-based communication systems for commercial, civil, and/or national security programs, working with domestic or international customers on satellite systems. Assignments can span the unit life cycle, from internal trade studies, concept studies, and system definition through satellite unit development and test. You will work on a systems engineering team interacting with customers, suppliers, program management, integration and test engineers, and senior technologists.

This position is expected to be 100% onsite at the El Segundo, California worksite. The worksite participates in Boeing’s optional 9/80 schedule rotation: employees may work nine-hour shifts for eight days per biweekly pay period and receive every other Friday off. The position offers relocation based on candidate eligibility.

The position requires the ability to obtain a U.S. security clearance, and a final U.S. Secret clearance is required post-start. U.S. citizenship is required for the clearance; the position also requires a U.S. Person under export-control rules. Boeing will not sponsor applicants for employment visa status. Successful candidates must satisfy the company’s Conflict of Interest assessment process. This is not a safety-sensitive position, and the position is not contingent upon program award.
