Mid-Level Metrology Test & Evaluation Engineer

Boeing • El Segundo, CA

3d • $111,350 - $150,650 • Onsite

About The Position

The Boeing Company’s Metrology and Test Equipment Services (MATES) organization is seeking an experienced, motivated Metrology Engineer to support operations at its El Segundo and Huntington Beach, California sites. The role works with local and virtual MATES personnel and initially focuses heavily on supporting Space & Launch programs in El Segundo. This includes providing onsite calibration solutions, conducting reliability assessments for measurement and test equipment (M&TE), engaging local business partners, supporting standardized processes and best practices across MATES, and ensuring AS9100 compliance.

MATES provides test asset and metrology services throughout the product lifecycle, including calibration and certification for electrical/electronic, RF/microwave, mechanical/physical, dimensional, and optical equipment; sourcing, repair and maintenance; measurement solutions; test asset selection, acquisition, allocation, resource and lifecycle management; and specialized test services. The organization supports programs, sites, business units, and external and government customers. Its work establishes traceability from measurement applications to internationally recognized standards and helps ensure measurement standards, materials, and equipment are defined, repeatable, reproducible, and traceable.

The position is primarily first shift, though periodic shift changes may be required to support program objectives. It requires a U.S. Person for export-control compliance and the ability to obtain a U.S. security clearance; an interim and/or final U.S. Secret Clearance is required after starting. The role is not safety-sensitive, is not contingent upon a program award, and does not offer employment visa sponsorship. Relocation may be available based on candidate eligibility.

• At least 3 years of experience in metrology, calibration/certification, and/or instrumentation.
• At least 3 years of experience developing and executing test procedures.
• At least 3 years of direct experience with RF, high-frequency, microwave, dimensional, and optical equipment, including working with M&TE.
• Knowledge of Windows 10 and Microsoft Office.
• Must meet U.S. export-control compliance requirements as a U.S. Person.
• Must be able to obtain a U.S. security clearance; U.S. citizenship is required by the U.S. Government for clearance eligibility.
• Must satisfy the Company’s Conflict of Interest assessment process.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with electrical, microwave, and/or RF calibrations.
• Familiarity with torque, pressure, force, mass, temperature, humidity, and electrical/RF parameters.
• Prior experience using an automated calibration recall system.
• Experience using or modifying calibration software such as MetCal, SureCal, or TME.
• Experience expanding calibration laboratory capability to support parameters not previously supported.

Responsibilities

• Apply metrology engineering concepts, including uncertainty, reliability, and interval analysis, new measurement techniques, and specification interpretation.
• Engage business partners and MATES technical communities to identify and establish calibration processes.
• Translate customer requirements into metrology specifications for developing calibration processes and procedures.
• Assist with calibration and certification of tools and measurement and test equipment.
• Support maintenance of the calibration system, reference-standard traceability, calibration procedures, and software.
• Develop solutions to emergent requirements arising during day-to-day activities.
• Institute and sustain AS9100 compliance, knowledge sharing, and related practices.
• Provide oversight of safety and quality systems.
• Share metrology process knowledge within the organization and with business partners.
• Coach and mentor technicians and junior engineers.
• Use appropriate tools, processes, and procedures.
• Design and develop calibration systems, test fixtures, data-processing tools, and algorithms.
• Author calibration procedures and conduct measurement uncertainty evaluations.
• Apply established Root Cause Corrective Action methods and lessons learned to improve test procedures and methodologies.
• Validate calibration data using established metrology practices and procedures.
• Develop project plans using project-management principles and performance goals.
• Provide general project supervision and define, negotiate, and control project scope, cost, and timing; conduct risk analysis using project-management tools.
• Gather and analyze requirements for M&TE calibration.
