About The Position

The Boeing Company is seeking a Mid-Level Systems Engineer with expertise in datalink, flight management systems (FMS), flight planning, airplane systems integration, and aircraft performance to join BGS Engineering in Seattle, WA or Everett, WA. The team develops Flight Efficiency and Sustainability products within Boeing Digital Services and supports Boeing Commercial Airplanes’ future capabilities. RouteSync is a flight-efficiency system that uplinks an airline’s Operational Flight Plan and the latest weather (winds/temperatures) via ACARS to the aircraft Flight Management Computer, enabling more accurate trajectory predictions, reducing pilot workload, and minimizing manual entry errors. In this role, the Systems Engineer will own system‑level design, development, customer onboarding, Boeing’s flight plan, performance, and weather uplink solution to the Flight Management System. The Systems Engineer will work closely with airline customers, flight‑deck systems (FMS/EFB), datalink (ACARS/AOC), cloud services, industry and dispatcher operations to define future capabilities, requirements, validate integrations, and deliver reliable pre‑flight and enroute synchronization capabilities.
