Senior Design and Analysis Engineer (Electronic Sys Design & Analy)

Boeing • Berkeley, MO

7d • Onsite

About The Position

Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) is seeking Mission Systems Integration Engineers, in St. Louis, MO, supporting a Phantom Works Fixed Wing Proprietary Program. You will be joining a fast-paced Phantom Works program where you will be responsible for developing and integrating complex, highly integrated, Sensor Systems, Communications Systems, and Weapon Systems. Our team focuses on high‑reliability, real‑time systems that fuse IR, RF, and offboard data to enable safe, decisive mission outcomes. We are seeking a Senior Level Mission Systems Engineer with strong expertise in multi‑sensor data fusion across infrared (IR) and radio frequency (RF) domains and experience combining onboard and offboard data sources. The engineer will define fusion architectures, design and implement algorithms, and lead system integration and verification activities. This role will collaborate with sensor, software, and systems engineering teams to deliver operationally relevant fused tracks and sensor products. The day-to-day activities of this position will be a combination of traditional design engineering, collaborating with cross-functional peers, and presenting technical challenges and solutions to leadership. Frequent interaction with program leadership, customers, and industry partners during critical design phases will be key elements of this position. This position will provide the candidate an opportunity to develop their engineering skills with potential growth into a leadership role.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering (with a focus in Electrical, Mechanical or Aeronautical), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry
• Level 5: 14+ years of work-related experience with a bachelor’s degree OR 12+ years of work-related experience with a master’s degree
• This position is expected to be 100% onsite.
• This position requires the ability to obtain a US Secret Security Clearance for which the US Government requires US Citizenship.
• A final U.S. Secret Clearance Post is required.
• This position requires ability to obtain program access, for which the U.S. Government requires U.S. Citizenship only.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with MBSE Model Based Systems Engineering
• Requirements development experience
• Mission Systems Integration including RF and IR Sensors
• Active Secret Clearance

Responsibilities

• Define system and interface requirements for multi sensor fusion of IR and RF domains and for integration of onboard and offboard data sources (e.g., datalinks, distributed sensors).
• Architect and specify fusion solutions (architecture diagrams, data flows, latency/bandwidth budgets, timing, and synchronization).
• Design, prototype, and evaluate multi sensor fusion algorithms (track association, data association, state estimation, sensor registration, and confidence/uncertainty management).
• Develop simulation and test plans; lead verification, validation, and performance characterization in lab and field environments.
• Define and enforce data models, metadata, and interfaces (e.g., message formats, time stamping, coordinate frames).
• Work with software and hardware teams to integrate algorithms into real time processors and embedded platforms.
• Analyze and mitigate failure modes, perform sensitivity and robustness analyses, and specify required fault detection and recovery behavior.
• Document design decisions, validation results, and provide technical input for safety, certification, and compliance artifacts.
• Communicate results and tradeoffs to stakeholders and support mission-level operational assessments and user demonstrations.
• Lead end to end algorithm lifecycle activities: requirements → design → prototyping → verification → optimization → deployment and maintenance.
• Translate mission and system-level requirements into algorithmic performance metrics (e.g., detection probability, false alarm rate, track continuity, latency, computational load).
• Implement robust data association and track management strategies that handle clutter, intermittent detections, varying update rates, and biased or misregistered sensors.
• Design methods for sensor registration, coordinate frame transforms, bias estimation, and online calibration to maintain long term fusion accuracy.
• Quantify uncertainty and confidence in fused outputs; design metadata and scoring (e.g., covariance estimates, association probabilities) to inform downstream decision systems and operators.

Benefits

• Boeing offers a comprehensive benefits package including generous Paid Time Off (PTO), flexible work environment, paid parental leave, 401k matching, extremely generous tuition assistance for earning advanced degrees, and paid medical leave programs.
• Boeing 401(k) helps you save for your future, with contributions from Boeing that can help you grow your retirement savings.
• Best in class 401(k) plan: we'll match your contributions dollar for dollar, up to 10% of eligible pay with Immediate 100% vesting
• Student Loan Match: The Boeing 401(k) Student Loan Match allows eligible enrolled U.S. employees to have their qualified student loan debt payments counted, along with any match-eligible contributions they make, for purposes of determining the Company Match to employees' Boeing 401(k) accounts.
