About The Position

The Boeing Company is hiring an Experienced (Level 3) or Senior (Level 4) Mechanical Systems Design and Analysis Engineer for its 787 Environmental Control Systems (ECS) Engineering team in North Charleston, South Carolina. The role supports one of several ECS sub-teams: Cabin Air Conditioning, Liquid Cooling, Air Distribution, Cabin Pressure Control, Fire Protection and Smoke Detection, Ice and Rain Protection, Air Quality, or Electrical. The work is primarily focused on component and systems equipment management, including daily interaction with component suppliers and Boeing support groups. The engineer may update analysis models and tool sets, support design changes, address obsolescence, develop product improvements, and contribute to production build and test, new customer introductions, and in-service fleet projects. The role calls for technical experience in areas such as system controls, mechanical systems, systems modeling, heat transfer, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, or correlating models with flight-test data. Relevant work includes using hand calculations to check computational analyses, developing test procedures and systems/component interface requirements, communicating progress to broad audiences, and planning and executing projects to schedule. At Level 3, the engineer supports requirements traceability and development assurance; system safety analyses; system, component, and installation design documentation; analysis-model modernization and integration; technical meetings; verification and validation analyses; supplier activities; lab, flight-test, factory, and airplane-delivery support; and airplane support manuals. The engineer also trains others and works under general direction. At Level 4, the engineer leads requirements traceability and development assurance, system safety documentation, design documentation, analysis-tool integration and modernization, technical meetings, and support-manual development. The engineer reviews and finalizes verification and validation analyses, supports proposal and business-development efforts, manages supplier activities, leads lab, flight-test, factory, and delivery-center support, and trains and coaches others. This level works under minimal direction. The position requires a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering with a focus in Mechanical, Civil, Aerospace/Aeronautical, or Material Sciences. Level 3 requires at least five years of related work experience (or an equivalent combination of education and experience), including experience with mechanical systems, engineering work, and cross-functional teams. Domestic and international travel of 10% is required. Level 4 and other preferred qualifications are described below. The position is first shift. Relocation is available based on candidate eligibility. Candidates must meet U.S. export-control requirements and be a U.S. Person as defined by 22 C.F.R. §120.62. Boeing will not sponsor employment visas. Successful candidates must satisfy the company’s conflict-of-interest assessment process. This is not a safety-sensitive position and does not require a security clearance. Boeing offers competitive base pay and variable compensation opportunities. Eligible employees may enroll in benefit programs generally including health insurance, flexible spending and health savings accounts, retirement savings plans, life and disability insurance, and paid and unpaid time away from work. Specific benefits and options depend on eligibility factors, including location, hire date, and applicable collective bargaining agreements. Pay depends on experience, qualifications, market, and business considerations. The stated pay ranges are $103,700–$140,300 for Level 3 and $126,650–$171,350 for Level 4.
