Senior Engineering Data Specialist

Boeing Global Services BGS is seeking a Senior Engineering Data Specialist to join our Maintenance Engineering team in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

The successful candidate will work within the engineering capability team to support the authoring, revision, and structural alignment of flight manuals, checklists, and operational supplements to support next-generation upgrades.

The candidate will act as a vital bridge translating major hardware and software modernization efforts being conducted on the U.S. Air Force (USAF) B-52H/J Stratofortress such as the Commercial Engine Replacement Program (CERP), Radar Modernization Program (RMP), and advanced digital weapons integration into clear, high-consequence operational instructions for aircrews.

Position Responsibilities:

• Evaluate Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) and evolving design changes to determine immediate impacts against flight operations work packages
• Convert complex engineering changes using drawings, schematics, design specs, flight logs, and upstream data including Interface Control Documents (ICDs), Software Functional Descriptions (SFDs), System Description Documents (SDDs), Human-System Interface (HSI) design documents, and Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analyses (FMECAs) into clear, standardized operational flight instructions
• Author or revise operational limitations, emergency procedures, performance charts, and flight-envelope boundaries
• Integrate sweeping modifications into Flight Manuals, Crew Checklists, and -34 Series Non-Nuclear Munitions T.O.s, mapping out new avionics, power distribution, and engine performance parameters
• Utilize XML/SGML authoring applications (e.g., PTC Arbortext) to update and maintain complex, hierarchical document trees and configurations
• Partner with Systems Engineers, Flight Test Engineers, and USAF Test Pilots to physically validate crew procedures using flight simulators and aircraft ground evaluations
• Conduct rigorous peer reviews, quality control checks, and technical accuracy assessments following established Quality Management System processes prior to all deliveries
• Ensure all newly authored flight text and operating limits rigorously satisfy MIL-HDBK-516D (Section 9) airworthiness certification criteria

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience):

• 5+ years of experience in Aeronautical field (including Aerospace engineering background, Flight Deck operations, Piloting, Flight Planning (International), Aircraft Dispatch experience, Commercial Airline Operations, Military flight operations)
• Experience with aircraft flight crew operations, flight deck design philosophy, flight deck/pilot interface, and customer requirements
• Must have one of the following: Military/Commercial Aircrew experience, Private Pilot License, or Flight Instructor certification

Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):

• 10+ years of operational flight experience as a rated Pilot, Weapon Systems Officer (WSO), Radar Navigator, Flight Engineer, or Electronic Warfare Officer (EWO)
• 6+ years of experience operating, configuring, or evaluating complex airborne mission networks, including advanced avionics, digital radar arrays, electronic countermeasures (ECM), power distribution systems, or primary propulsion controls
• 5+ years of experience deconstructing complex system architectures to execute technical checklists, manage flight envelope limitations, and perform complex system troubleshooting or emergency recovery procedures.
• Background working within strict military airworthiness framework requirements and compliance-driven mission execution environment
• Direct operational flight experience specifically utilizing heavy military aircraft platforms (e.g., B-52H, C-130, E-3, E-8), with a preference for direct B-52H Stratofortress crew experience
• Prior authoring experience utilizing Epic Editor, IsoDraw, Quick Silver, or PTC Arbortext to update and maintain complex, hierarchical document configurations.
• Familiarity with DoD technical manual standards and specifications (e.g., MIL-STD, S1000D, or service-specific formats).
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills across technical and non-technical teams
• Continuous improvement mindset with a focus on process optimization and efficiency

Benefits:

• Competitive base pay and variable compensation opportunities
• Eligible employees can enroll in a variety of benefit programs, generally including health insurance, flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts, retirement savings plans, life and disability insurance programs, and a number of programs that provide for both paid and unpaid time away from work
