About The Position

Boeing Test and Evaluation (BT&E) is seeking an Entry-Level Manufacturing Engineer to join our growing St. Louis Structures and Materials Test Lab team in Berkeley, MO. The Manufacturing Engineer is an assembly and installation engineer within BT&E that supports fabrication planning & setup/installation by providing design review, manufacturing plan authorship, and fabrication sourcing (inside and outside of Boeing) followed by support at the aircraft during installation or in the laboratory during setup. They are also expected to work closely with our in-house shop team comprised of tooling and aircraft mechanics which support our operations. The Structures and Materials Test Lab supports the full structural testing needs of the Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) Programs in St. Louis and St. Charles, including component tests up to full-scale aircraft testing. Manufacturing Engineers are owners of the build plan and ensure compliance to design configuration, build plan, and process requirements. Manufacturing Engineering performs Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) analysis and develops an integrated build plan consisting of work instructions for assembly/fabrication, kitting, tooling, inspection requirements, and other outputs to ensure fabrication meets design, test, and program requirements. As part of this team, you will have the opportunity to work on the latest military weapons and aircraft programs, such as: T-7A Redhawk, MQ-25A Stingray, various Phantom Works programs, various Boeing Weapons programs, and our legacy programs like F-15 and F/A-18 into the future.
