Entry-Level F-15 Flight Test Data Engineer
About The Position
The Boeing Company is seeking an entry-level engineer to join a specialized Boeing Test & Evaluation team conducting F-15 tactical fighter aircraft flight test activities on-site at Eglin AFB, Florida. The role offers a collaborative, innovation-friendly environment with peer mentoring, knowledge sharing, opportunities to take initiative, and developing leadership responsibilities. The engineer will develop and run automated digital data-processing software to merge and convert raw data into engineering visualization products. The position also involves creating systems-analysis applications using neural networks, machine learning, and digital models; developing algorithms for automated performance assessments; troubleshooting and root-cause analysis; and characterizing systems by comparing real-world performance with digital models. The work includes frequent interaction with multiple engineering groups and technical teams. The role provides exposure to advanced technology systems in early development, hands-on experience, self-paced on-site training, and structured experience toward becoming a subject matter expert in aircraft, weapons, sensor systems, and data analysis. Projects may involve fire-control radar, electronic jammers, RF and IR sensors, aircraft computing systems, radar- and IR-guided missiles, control systems, jet engines, satellite navigation and communication systems, and encrypted aircraft data networks. The engineer may design data tools and algorithms using automation, pattern recognition, machine learning, neural networks, and digital performance models, and use them to evaluate systems for integration onto F-15 aircraft.
