This is a career opportunity in the Regulatory Administration & Airworthiness Compliance team within Boeing ODA (Organization Designation Authorization). The position provides exposure to a close interaction with a dynamic team of project managers, wider Boeing organizations, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

As an Individual Contributor, you will lead a variety of compliance-related projects, primarily conducting and managing Root Cause Analyses (RCA).

• Apply an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach to plan, design, develop, and verify complex life‑cycle balanced systems and system solutions.
• Be a highly motivated individual contributor with high attention to detail and a deep subject‑matter expertise in FAA requirements and compliance.
• Communicate across departments with stakeholders; strong verbal and written communication skills are essential for collaborating, sharing ideas, and presenting findings or recommendations.
• Perform analyses to optimize total system‑of‑systems and/or system architecture.
• Gather and analyze relevant data to perform root cause analysis and investigations.
• Apply critical thinking to evaluate data and support decision‑making.

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills and Experience)

• Bachelor of Science degree from an accredited program in engineering, engineering technology (including manufacturing engineering technology), chemistry, physics, mathematics, data science, or computer science.
• Level 2: 2+ years of related work experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Level 3: 5+ years of related work experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• 1+ years of experience in project management.
• 1+ years of experience in systems engineering.
