About The Position

Boeing Test and Evaluation (BT&E) Safety is seeking a Lab Test Systems Safety Engineer who will lead test safety activities for military aerospace programs in Berkeley, MO. The ideal candidate will apply safety management system (SMS), systems engineering, and industrial engineering methodologies to proactively identify and mitigate potential test-related product and personnel risk exposures throughout the product test life cycle. This includes hazard identification, risk assessment, safety requirements development, mitigation verification, and compliance with regulatory and company safety standards. Focus areas include assessing and supporting development and execution of test plans to successfully achieve test requirements while also minimizing safety risk exposures to personnel and product. In this position, the selected candidate will also evaluate engineering plans and test plans for inclusion of design practices that support design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA) concepts. Supported labs include Structures, Electromagnetic, Wind Tunnel, Metrology, Environmental and Thermodynamics, etc. This position requires frequent collaboration with senior leaders and a wide range of subject matter experts. The ideal candidate is an individual who thrives when avidly supporting business partner’s safety needs in a multi-domain lab test environment. Must be operational and applied science oriented with a strong propensity to solve complex challenges and unafraid to learn new skills and processes. A background in industrial engineering or manufacturing engineering is highly beneficial. You will be surrounded by highly motivated safety professionals and have the opportunity to influence safety across a suite of current and future military aerospace products. This role requires a systems thinking approach to mitigate risks along with an in-depth understanding of test hazards. You must also have the ability to work collaboratively across a broad section of program and test capabilities to support the test statement of work and the development of test safety requirements throughout BT&E’s Product Test Life Cycle (PTLC). Additionally, the selected candidate will lead Safety Action Groups (SAGs), promote a positive safety culture, and actively apply SMS principles. The job also involves test-related incident investigations and safety report (e.g. Speak Up) investigations. Our team is currently hiring for a range of experience levels including Mid-Level and Senior Lab Test Systems Safety Engineers.
