About The Position

The Boeing Company’s Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) organization is seeking an experienced or senior Loads and Dynamics Engineer to support tactical aircraft programs in Hazelwood, Missouri. As part of the BDS Air Dominance Loads & Dynamics Capability Team, the engineer will support production and development programs, including F-15, F/A-18, T-7A, MQ-25, and proprietary programs. The team seeks expertise in flight vehicle structural dynamics, including aeroacoustics, buffet, vibration, and shock. The position level will be commensurate with experience. The role involves developing and analyzing air vehicle environments, integrating models with design and analysis teams in a Model Based Engineering environment, and supporting design, stores integration, and verification through analysis and testing. The engineer will develop and execute test plans and programs, assess hardware flight worthiness and service environments, support structural design requirements, and communicate technical issues to management and customers. This is a first-shift position. Relocation may be available based on candidate eligibility. The role requires meeting U.S. export control compliance requirements as a U.S. Person, and the ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance; an interim and/or final U.S. Secret Clearance is required after starting.
