The Boeing Defense (BDS), Security, Space, Intelligence & Weapons Systems (SI&WS) is seeking multiple Experienced Systems Engineers to join our Experimental Systems Group (ESG) at Kennedy Space Center, FL.

 

At Boeing, our Systems Engineers drive the innovation, development, evaluation, and end-to-end execution of validation methods and test systems across manufacturing, refurbishment, integrated vehicle testing, and operational checkout. In this role, you will operate across multiple engineering disciplines to verify system-of-systems performance, serving as the technical bridge between design intent, physical hardware validation, and flight readiness through the following responsibilities.

 

Position Responsibilities:

• Define, decompose, and coordinate system-level test and verification requirements derived from customer, mission, and operational needs
• Integrate cross-functional parameters across electrical, mechanical, fluids, thermal, and software interfaces to verify end-to-end compatibility and functional integrity
• Execute specialized analyses including safety, reliability, maintainability, testability, survivability, and requirement certification to optimize configurations for mission success
• Govern requirements management and verification tracking using formal tools, risk/opportunity frameworks, and readiness assessments to ensure complete verification closure

• Represent the system test organization directly in the factory, test cell, and post-production environments throughout hardware builds, integrated functional testing, and refurbishment cycles
• Conduct dynamic system test operations, translating complex flight and ground environments into actionable test procedures, instrumentation strategies, and acceptance criteria
• Author technical dispositions and engineering deviations for hardware non-conformances, operational limit exceedances, or test anomalies to maintain operational cadence without sacrificing safety or quality 

• Execute rapid root-cause analysis (RCA), failure investigation, and multi-system troubleshooting to diagnose complex operational anomalies and flight hardware defects
• Identify, develop, and deploy continuous upgrades to test infrastructure, instrumentation setups, and operational processes to improve test cadence, reliability, and mission throughput

• Ability to analyze and interpret engineering drawings, schematics, wiring diagrams, and parts lists
• Strong skills in engineering analysis, requirements tracing, and technical communication

 

Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):

• Experience in system-level test and verification of space vehicles or space systems
• Cross-functional leadership skills and experience working with multi-discipline teams
• Knowledge of aerospace avionics, electrical systems, and RF test equipment
• Familiarity with approved repair and testing techniques for electronics and components
• Experience with hardware and software requirements verification using tools like DOORS
