About The Position

The Boeing Company's Test and Evaluation (BT&E) division is seeking an Entry-Level Manufacturing Engineer to join their St. Louis Structures and Materials Test Lab team in Berkeley, MO. This role involves supporting fabrication planning, setup, and installation by providing design review, authoring manufacturing plans, and sourcing fabrication (both internal and external to Boeing). The engineer will also provide support during aircraft installation or laboratory setup. Collaboration with an in-house shop team, including tooling and aircraft mechanics, is expected. The Structures and Materials Test Lab is responsible for the full spectrum of structural testing for Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) Programs in St. Louis and St. Charles, from component tests to full-scale aircraft testing. Manufacturing Engineers are responsible for the build plan, ensuring adherence to design configuration, build plan, and process requirements. They conduct Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) analysis and develop integrated build plans that include work instructions for assembly/fabrication, kitting, tooling, and inspection requirements to meet design, test, and program specifications. This position offers the opportunity to work on advanced military weapons and aircraft programs such as the T-7A Redhawk, MQ-25A Stingray, various Phantom Works and Boeing Weapons programs, as well as legacy programs like the F-15 and F/A-18.
