About The Position

The Boeing Company is seeking 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. It is primarily focused on component and systems equipment management, including daily coordination 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 support production build and testing, new customer introductions, and in-service fleet projects. The position also involves hand calculations to check computational analysis, development of test procedures and systems/component interface requirements, communicating progress to broad audiences, and establishing project goals, schedules, and timely execution. Relevant technical areas include system controls, mechanical systems, systems modeling, heat transfer, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and correlating flight-test data with analysis tools. At Level 3, the engineer supports requirements traceability and development assurance; system safety analysis documentation; system, component, and installation design and proposal work; analysis model modernization and integration; technical meetings and planning; verification and validation analyses; supplier development, test, and production; lab, flight-test, factory, and delivery-center support; and airplane support manuals. The Level 3 role works under general direction and trains others. At Level 4, the engineer leads requirements traceability and development assurance, system safety documentation, design and analysis tool integration and modernization, technical meetings, and support activities. The senior engineer reviews and finalizes verification and validation analyses, may support proposals and new business development, manages supplier activities, leads support-manual work, and trains and coaches others. The Level 4 role works under minimal direction. The position requires the successful candidate to meet Boeing’s Conflict of Interest assessment process and U.S. export-control requirements. Applicants must be a U.S. Person as defined by 22 C.F.R. §120.62. The employer will not sponsor employment visas. The position is not safety-sensitive, does not require a security clearance, and is not contingent upon program award. Relocation may be offered based on candidate eligibility. The position is listed as Shift 1.
