Entry-Level F-15 Flight Test Data Engineer

Boeing • Eglin AFB, FL

6d • Onsite

About The Position

The Boeing Company is seeking an Entry-Level F-15 Flight Test Data Engineer to join a specialized Boeing Test & Evaluation engineering team performing F-15 tactical fighter aircraft flight test activities on-site at Eglin AFB, Florida. The role offers an innovation-friendly environment with inter-team collaboration, peer mentoring, opportunities for individual empowerment, and project leadership responsibilities. The engineer will develop and use data-processing software, algorithms, and analysis applications to evaluate advanced technology systems in early development and assess their integration onto F-15 aircraft. Work includes hands-on analysis of aircraft and weapons systems, supported by self-paced on-site training and structured experience to develop subject-matter expertise. Systems and projects may involve fire-control radar, electronic jammers, RF and IR sensors, core computing systems, guided missiles, control systems, jet engines, satellite navigation and communications, and encrypted aircraft data networks. The position is based at Eglin AFB, near the Gulf Coast. Relocation is available based on candidate eligibility. The position requires the ability to obtain a U.S. Secret clearance and program access, and to meet U.S. export control requirements. Boeing will not sponsor employment visas. The role is not safety sensitive and is not contingent upon a program award.

• Ability to meet U.S. export control compliance requirements as a U.S. Person under 22 C.F.R. §120.62.
• Strong Python, C#, and scripting skills are highly desired.

Nice To Haves

• Active U.S. Secret Security Clearance; a clearance active within the past 24 months is considered active.
• Ability to create software-based algorithms, applications, and scripts.
• Ability to develop neural networks, machine learning, and autonomous data-centric operations.
• Experience with data processing, detailed systems data analysis, data interpretation, data analysis, data fusion or merging, and/or data visualization.
• Understanding of digital representations of alphanumeric data, including MIL-STD-1553 data bus, MIL-STD-1760 weapon interface protocols, fiber, or Ethernet.
• Understanding of or experience with Python, C++11, C++14, C#, MS Visual Studio, WPF and MVVM, object-oriented programming and design, neural-network data selection and training, or machine-learning frameworks such as PyTorch, Keras, and TensorFlow.
• Innovation mindset and leadership skills.

Responsibilities

• Develop and run automated digital data-processing software applications to merge and convert raw data files into engineering visualization products.
• Develop autonomous and semi-autonomous systems-analysis applications using neural networks, machine learning, and digital models.
• Develop algorithms to support automated systems-performance assessments.
• Perform root-cause analysis and troubleshooting to distinguish actual problems from non-problems.
• Characterize systems and analyze real-world performance against digital models.
• Collaborate and share knowledge with multiple engineering groups and technical teams on investigative engineering tasks.
• Design and develop data tools and algorithms using digital automation, pattern recognition, machine learning, neural networks, and digital performance models.
• Use developed tools to evaluate electronic and weapons systems for integration onto F-15 fighter aircraft.
• Plan, communicate, coordinate, and execute complex data-engineering activities as leadership skills are developed.

Benefits

• Competitive base pay and variable compensation opportunities.
• Eligible employees may enroll in health insurance, flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts, retirement savings plans, life and disability insurance, and programs providing paid and unpaid time away from work.
• Relocation assistance based on candidate eligibility.
