About The Position

Tapestry Solutions, a Boeing company and part of Boeing Global Services, is seeking a Mission Planning SME in Niceville, Florida, or Las Vegas, Nevada. The position connects warfighters with software development and test teams to ensure warfighter requirements and recommendations are incorporated into the development cycle. The role evaluates customer and operational needs, defines and coordinates system performance requirements, integrates technical parameters, ensures compatibility across system interfaces, and conducts analyses to optimize system-of-systems and system architecture solutions for complex mission-planning problems. The SME uses aircrew experience to support intuitive, efficient software development, assess software functionality and usability, and serve as an intermediary between systems engineers and active-duty warfighters. The role works with Government test organizations to address discovered issues and prevent schedule delays. It also contributes to interdisciplinary system planning, design, development, verification, validation, risk management, and program milestone support. The position requires an active U.S. Secret clearance, a bachelor's degree or higher, at least five years of mission-planning experience, and at least five years of aircrew experience on the F-15E/EX platform. The role is not safety-sensitive and is not contingent on a program award. Applicants must meet U.S. export-control requirements as a U.S. Person; U.S. citizenship is required for the security clearance. The employer will not sponsor employment visas. Relocation assistance is not negotiable. The stated base pay range is $147,050–$158,622. Eligible employees may generally enroll in benefit programs that include health insurance, flexible spending and health savings accounts, retirement savings plans, life and disability insurance, and paid and unpaid time away from work.
