Job Description

At Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better place. We’re committed to fostering an environment for every teammate that’s welcoming, respectful and inclusive, with great opportunity for professional growth. Find your future with us.

The Boeing Defense (BDS), Security, Space, Intelligence & Weapons Systems (SI&WS) is seeking multiple Associate 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:

• Assist with the definition and mapping of system-level test and verification requirements derived from customer, mission, and operational needs
• Support the integration of cross-functional parameters across electrical, mechanical, fluids, thermal, and software interfaces to verify baseline end-to-end compatibility
• Participate in basic system analyses—including safety, reliability, maintainability, and testability parameters—to monitor baseline quality factors
• Maintain verification tracking records using formal tools, logging requirements status, risk metrics, and readiness milestones under the guidance of senior staff
• Represent the test team locally on the floor, tracking day-to-day progress through hardware builds, testing sequences, and refurbishment cycles
• Execute pre-defined system test procedures, monitoring real-time telemetry limits, instrumentation setups, and standard acceptance criteria
• Draft initial technical descriptions and log documentation for hardware non-conformances, limit exceedances, or test anomalies to maintain data integrity
• Support failure investigation efforts, collecting test data and running initial troubleshooting scripts to isolate component-level operational anomalies
• Perform routine maintenance and updates to test infrastructure, instrumentation setups, and standard lab environments to support scheduled test cadences

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience):

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology (including Manufacturing Technology), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement

• 3+ years of experience in an engineering role
• 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):

• Foundational exposure to system-level test, checkout, or verification procedures for space vehicles or space systems
• Ability to collaborate effectively within cross-functional and multi-discipline engineering environments
• Basic knowledge of aerospace avionics, electrical configurations, and standard lab test equipment
• Familiarity with fundamental troubleshooting, assembly, or evaluation techniques for electronic components
• Baseline scripting familiarity for running pre-written test automation or processing data logs (e.g., Python, Tcl/Tk, Perl)
• Basic exposure to configuration management and task tracking workflows (e.g., Git, SVN, PLM, Jira, MS Project)
