Principal Project Engineer - BCA STC Integration

Boeing•Everett, WA

1d•$176,000 - $239,000•Onsite

About The Position

Boeing Global Engineering is seeking a Principal Project Engineer - BCA STC Integration (Level 5) to join our team in Everett, WA. The integration of Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) (EASA, FAA, ANAC) into BCA’s delivery process represents a strategic, high visibility initiative for BCA, aimed at enabling the installation of seats, connectivity solutions and other potential customer features post-ticket. This capability significantly enhances Boeing’s ability to offer key new features to customers by allowing the retrofit of certain options under alternative certification processes. The Project Engineer (PE) role is central to Boeing’s ability to expand certification options to BCA via strategic and technical integration of STCs. It demands a proactive, results-driven leader capable of managing complex, multi-disciplinary projects with minimal supervision — delivering engineering integration leadership, risk management, and customer-focused execution across global Boeing teams. This role establishes the ability to certify higher risk seat installations after aircraft ticketing through an STC. It requires critical integration between BCA (Everett, WA) and Boeing Global Services (BGS) teams located in Germany, Ireland, and the UK, ensuring smooth, collaborative execution and customer delivery by uniting engineering efforts across geographies and organizations.

Requirements

Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology (including Manufacturing Technology), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry
10+ years experience performing complex engineering or system integration work
5+ years of experience developing and maintaining relationships and partnerships with senior executives, customers, stakeholders, peers and business partners

Nice To Haves

5+ years of experience with U.S. and/or foreign aircraft certification/regulatory processes.
Experience with certification, product development, and/or seats is preferred.
Certification background and/or experience working with FAA or EASA regulations and Regulatory Administration.
Adaptable and able to operate in a dynamic environment to meet objectives on time.
Ability to analyze, understand, organize, and communicate complex technical concepts across multiple disciplines.
Experience leading major design changes through various phases of the product and certification lifecycle.

Responsibilities

Provide technical leadership of a portfolio of technical enabler projects that integrate and streamline the work between BCA and BGS to enable a scalable, repeatable and ‘one Boeing’ process that is enduring and documented in Boeing’s formal design processes.
Ensure the key technical integration points between BCA-BGS of the portfolio of STC projects are kept as each project matures through the development process.
Support Early Engagement meetings, risk discussions, and program tracking to identify STC candidate projects early.
Engage with BCA Customer Engineering during early phases (~2-3 years pre-delivery) to understand evolving customer preferences and certification issues that will drive consideration of STC pathways.
Integrate BCA and BGS engineering SOW and deliverables from program STC approval (FCIS) through delivery.
Define work breakdown between BCA and BGS based on ticketed configuration, delivery config, and CI progress when STC decisions are made.
Support commodity teams with data integration across BCA and BGS engineering disciplines (electrical, seat tracks, IFE, sidewalls, monuments, PSUs, seats, etc.).
Design and mature process and tool solution concepts as-needed to promote cross-functional integration.
Communicate airplane configuration changes (both production-driven and customer-driven) that may impact STC planning and execution.
Oversee manual supplement integration process execution.
Manage flyaway kit configurations and resolve related certification/technical issues (e.g., seat-to-seat cable certification).
Proactively identify and mitigate integration risks and issues (RIOs), including supplier test or STC component challenges.
Facilitate cross-team support during critical program milestones (FCIS, CCBx) and CI milestones (Interiors CITR, FSD, APIE).
Lead and support the EASA-SIT Technical Integration Forum.
Refine and update the EASA STC process and flow charts based on pathfinder lessons learned, pushing customer introduction points earlier in the schedule.
Collaborate across Boeing organizations to develop and maintain a shared, updated “Value Stream Model” documenting interface points and lessons learned related to engineering integration efforts.
