$112,200 - $151,800 per year

Apply on Boeing

Description

We are seeking experienced Systems Engineers to work on the Boeing-led Systems Engineering and Integration (SE&I) National Team and the Command, Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) National Team. You will contribute across mission assessment, architecture, requirements, Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE), integration, and test. Your responsibilities may include:

  • Defining and evolving the MDA/C2BMC system architecture
  • Developing and maintaining requirements and architecture artifacts
  • Running and supporting architecture and requirements trade studies
  • Integrating and testing systems
  • Evaluating system performance across realistic scenarios and architectures
  • Building and maintaining analysis tools

This position requires an active U.S. Secret Security Clearance and U.S. citizenship. The selected candidate will be required to work onsite at Colorado Springs, CO.

Responsibilities

Depending on your assignment, you will contribute across mission assessment, architecture, requirements, Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE), integration, and test – often with direct collaboration across Boeing, industry partners, and government stakeholders.

Systems Architecture, Requirements, and Interfaces

  • Help define and evolve the MDA/C2BMC system architecture.
  • Develop and maintain requirements and architecture artifacts (including interface definitions) to support missile defense capabilities.
  • Run and support architecture and requirements trade studies to recommend options that improve mission performance, cost/schedule, and technical feasibility.
  • Own and improve the requirements management engine: planning, organizing, implementing, and monitoring of requirements processes and tools (including traceability, change control, and quality).
  • Support program-level risks/issues/opportunities tracking and technology readiness assessments as they relate to architecture and requirements decisions.
  • Collaborate frequently with MDA, warfighters, and industry partners to align requirements, interfaces, and system priorities.

Integration and Test

  • Plan and execute integration and checkout work – define tasks, schedule them, assign work, monitor completion, and keep the integration plan moving.
  • Evaluate results from integration/checkout activities and determine whether they meet checkout requirements so the team can proceed to the next stage.
  • Help define and drive the overall integration and test (I&T) strategy (processes, tools, and metrics) to ensure we verify requirements effectively and consistently.
  • Execute and document integration and test events, including capturing results, issues, and evidence needed for verification.
  • Partner with integration/test SMEs to solve complex system problems spanning process, tools, regulations, and system-specific issues.
  • Identify and implement tool/process improvements that reduce friction and increase throughput (automation, reporting, repeatable workflows).

Modeling and Simulation

  • Evaluate system performance across realistic scenarios and architectures to provide mission insight used by MDA and warfighters.
  • Build and maintain analysis tools across multiple levels of fidelity, including modeling and simulation that predicts performance against evolving threats.
  • Perform system and performance trade studies (mission effectiveness, architecture comparisons, “what-if” analyses) to inform technical decisions.
  • Develop and improve modeling approaches to ensure results are credible, repeatable, and decision-useful (assumptions, data handling, validation/verification of models).
  • Use modeling, simulation, and quantitative methods to provide technical leadership and recommendations in assigned focus areas.

Benefits

  • Competitive base pay and variable compensation opportunities
  • Comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance, flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts, retirement savings plans, life and disability insurance programs
  • Boeing 401(k) plan with dollar-for-dollar matching contributions up to 10% of eligible pay
  • Student Loan Match program

Requirements

  • Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology, Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications
  • 4 or more years' related engineering experience
  • Prior experience in system engineering
  • Active U.S. Secret Security Clearance

Skills

Required

  • Systems Engineering
  • Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE)
  • Integration and Test
  • Modeling and Simulation

Nice to have

  • Leadership experience
  • Missile-defense mission context
  • Requirements analysis and verification
  • Scripting/programming (Python, MATLAB, Java)
