About The Position

Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) is seeking a Structural & Payload Design Engineer (Experienced, Senior or Lead) to join the team in El Segundo, CA. This role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to interpret requirements, define interfaces, and develop innovative integrated assembly designs using thorough design layouts to produce engineering definition documents. The engineer will also develop, maintain, modify, and interpret space structure engineering documentation using 3-D Computer Aided Design tools (PTC Creo), Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) standards, and other design methods. A key part of the role is actively supporting design for manufacturing, integration reviews, and process improvements by reviewing previous designs, regulatory requirements, customer specifications, and contracts. The position requires providing engineering support throughout fabrication, integration, and test of structure products at suppliers and in-house facilities, as well as creating, dispositioning, and driving to closure anomalies related to assembly integration and structure hardware throughout the product lifecycle. Additionally, the engineer will support management of the engineering project by providing status and following the project plan. Experienced and Senior/Lead Engineers are expected to work independently under general direction.
