The Boeing Electromagnetic Effects (E3) Group seeks Electromagnetic Effects Design and Analysis Engineers at Experienced (Level 2), Career (Level 3), and Expert (Level 4) levels. The successful candidate will be based in the Puget Sound region (Everett, Washington State) and support Boeing Defense, Space & Security commercial-derivative aircraft programs such as the U.S. KC-46A tanker, among others.

The engineer will develop and validate Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) requirements and architectures to integrate complex components and subsystems into higher-level platforms. Responsibilities include defining and conducting tests to validate designs to requirements, and providing EMI/EMC expertise during design, modification, supplier engagement, and manufacturing activities.

E3 environments include: Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), Lightning, High Intensity Radiated Fields (HIRF), Precipitation Static (P-static), Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP), and related environments.

Primary Responsibilities

• Perform trade studies, modeling, simulation, and other analyses to predict component, interconnect, and system performance and to optimize designs for E3 performance.
• Work (with minimal direction at higher levels) to achieve electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of electronics, wiring, and structure.
• Interface with manufacturing and suppliers on complex E3 design aspects to assure system-level compatibility; identify and report achievements and issues to program management and customers.
• Review supplier test plans and test reports for technical correctness; identify deficiencies and coordinate corrective actions.
• Support project management by contributing to development of work statements, budgets, schedules, and design/review inputs.
• Collaborate with other engineering disciplines and suppliers to assess changes to equipment, determine impacts on electromagnetic characteristics, and recommend mitigations.

Additional Responsibilities

• Develop and implement test automation for aircraft modifications.
• Apply EMI engineering methods to document and resolve complex technical problems.
• Apply conversion, correction, and antenna factors to EMI/EMC analyses and tests.
• Participate on cross-functional teams and present technical results in internal and external reviews.
• Process engineering data into tables, graphs, and deliverables for inclusion in reports.
• Support or conduct aircraft-level E3 testing.

This position requires the ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance for which the U.S. Government requires U.S. Citizenship. A final U.S. Secret clearance is required post-start.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (with a focus in Electrical, Mechanical, or Aeronautical), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non‑U.S. equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement.
• Familiarity with electromagnetic concepts such as RF isolation, shielding, grounding, and filtering.
• Willingness to travel up to 25% as required.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experienced (Level 2): 2+ years related work experience.
• Career (Level 3): 5+ years related work experience.
• Expert (Level 4): 7+ years related work experience.
• ABET-accredited Bachelor’s in electrical engineering or an advanced degree (M.S./Ph.D.) in electrical engineering preferred.
• Active U.S. Security Clearance preferred.
• Prior experience in defense or aerospace industries.
• Experience with MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-464, and/or DO-160 EMI/EMC standards.
• Prior experience with Aerospace Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3).
• Experience with EMI qualification testing (LRUs and system-level).
• Familiarity with electrical bonding best practices to support E3 compliance.
• Foundation in RF systems and/or computational E3 analysis tools.
