About The Position
Boeing’s Phantom Works Missile Defense National Teams are hiring Systems Engineers to join their team in Colorado Springs, CO. On the Boeing-led Systems Engineering and Integration (SE&I) National Team, you’ll help the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) shape system-level concepts, architectures, requirements, and assessments that drive incremental upgrades to America’s Missile Defense System. On the Command, Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) National Team, you’ll help evolve the integrating element that links sensors and weapons and synchronizes operations to deliver a layered defense across all phases of flight. The teams are currently hiring a broad range of Entry-Level Systems Engineers in the following disciplines: Systems Architecture, Requirements and Interfaces, Systems Integration, Verification, & Validation, and Modeling and Simulation.
Requirements
- Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology (including Manufacturing Technology), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement
- Related engineering experience through internships, co-ops, or academic projects
- An active U.S. Secret Security Clearance (U.S. Citizenship Required)
Nice To Haves
- Experience or interest in missile defense systems
- Familiarity with systems engineering concepts such as system architecture, requirements, and interfaces
- Familiarity with integration, verification and validation processes
- Familiarity with modeling and simulation
- Experience working with multi-disciplinary teams
- Technical skills with tools and languages such as DOORS, Cameo, SysML, Python, MATLAB, Java, or similar
Responsibilities
- Contribute across mission assessment, architecture, requirements, Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE), integration, and test – often with direct collaboration across Boeing, industry partners, and government stakeholders
- Help define and evolve the MDA/C2BMC system architecture
- Develop and maintain requirements and architecture artifacts (including interface definitions) to support missile defense capabilities
- Support architecture and requirements trade studies to recommend options that improve mission performance, cost/schedule, and technical feasibility
- Support improving the requirements management engine: planning, organizing, implementing, and monitoring of requirements processes and tools (including traceability, change control, and quality)
- Support program-level risks/issues/opportunities tracking and technology readiness assessments as they relate to architecture and requirements decisions
- Collaborate frequently with MDA, warfighters, and industry partners to align requirements, interfaces, and system priorities
- Support integration and checkout work – define tasks, schedule them, assign work, monitor completion, and keep the integration plan moving
- Support the evaluation of results from integration/checkout activities and determine whether they meet checkout requirements so the team can proceed to the next stage
- Help define and drive the overall integration and test (I&T) strategy (processes, tools, and metrics) to ensure we verify requirements effectively and consistently
- Support executing and documenting integration and test events, including capturing results, issues, and evidence needed for verification
- Partner with integration/test SMEs to solve complex system problems spanning process, tools, regulations, and system-specific issues
- Help identify and implement tool/process improvements that reduce friction and increase throughput (automation, reporting, repeatable workflows)
- Help evaluate system performance across realistic scenarios and architectures to provide mission insight used by MDA and warfighters
- Supporting building and maintaining analysis tools across multiple levels of fidelity, including modeling and simulation that predicts performance against evolving threats
- Help perform system and performance trade studies (mission effectiveness, architecture comparisons, “what-if” analyses) to inform technical decisions
- Support developing and improving modeling approaches to ensure results are credible, repeatable, and decision-useful (assumptions, data handling, validation/verification of models)
- Use modeling, simulation, and quantitative methods to provide technical leadership and recommendations in assigned focus areas
Benefits
- competitive base pay and variable compensation opportunities
- health insurance
- flexible spending accounts
- health savings accounts
- retirement savings plans
- life and disability insurance programs
- a number of programs that provide for both paid and unpaid time away from work
