About The Position

The Boeing Company is looking for an M&P Engineer-Modeling/Finite Element located in El Segundo, CA. This role primarily involves conducting thermomechanical analysis for life predictions and RCCA (root cause correction action), etc. on advanced modeling of structures, assemblies and hardware. This position contains work that is often extremely urgent with many competing priorities. The successful candidate will need to be able to execute under pressure and prioritize individual tasks appropriately. In addition, the desire to work on novel, challenging problems to find a solution is a plus!

Requirements

Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement
Experience with finite element analysis
5+ years of experience with analysis tools (i.e., PSpice, MATLAB, MATHCAD, ANSYS, COMSOL, Mentor Graphics electrical tools, Saber, Zuken E3, Xilinx Vivad)
Ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance for which the U.S. Government requires U.S. Citizenship.
A final U.S. Secret clearance Post-Start is required.
