Data Engineer

About the role

Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) is seeking a Product Data Management Engineer (Mid-Level or Senior) to join the Airplane Level Integration Team (ALIT) within the Engineering Operations group in North Charleston, SC. This role requires a leadership mindset, strong communication and collaboration skills, and a commitment to fostering an inclusive environment. The position emphasizes mentoring, coaching, and technical leadership to drive engineering excellence and safety.

In this role, you will lead the management and integration of engineering architecture—processes, systems, and data—across the airplane product lifecycle. Responsibilities include providing technical leadership for configuration and data management, conducting design reviews and audits, analyzing complex trades and changes, and implementing engineering standard processes, systems, and tools.

Responsibilities

• Lead management and integration of engineering architecture (processes, systems, data) across the product lifecycle to ensure consistency, traceability, and role-appropriate data access.
• Develop, analyze, manage, and verify compliance of process and product baselines for highly integrated complex airplane products.
• Define, plan, coordinate, and conduct product- and subsystem-level technical design reviews and audits for new and derivative products.
• Lead evaluation of complex product trades and changes; develop change proposals with impacts, risks, mitigation, and implementation plans.
• Lead definition and rollout of Configuration Management (CM) and Data Management (DM) standards, processes, systems, and tools; drive adoption across IPTs and supporting functions.
• Define and allocate CM/DM requirements for hardware, software, and engineering design data systems spanning multiple engineering functions.
• Assure integration of product elements; analyze and resolve complex issues with product structures and cross-discipline interfaces.
• Develop, integrate, and implement engineering technical program plans including schedule impacts, risk assessments, and lessons learned incorporation.
• Provide mentorship and technical guidance to engineering teams on CM/DM best practices, tools, and lifecycle processes.
• Work with minimal direction and act as a primary technical integrator for assigned airplane-level integrations and change activities.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology (including Manufacturing Technology), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, or non-U.S. equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement.
• 5 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience.
• Demonstrated expertise in Configuration Management and Data Management for complex, highly integrated products.
• Experience developing and conducting technical design reviews, audits, and compliance verification across multi-discipline systems.

Qualifications

• Preferred Experience: 9 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience (Level 4).
• Master's degree or advanced coursework in relevant engineering or systems engineering fields.
• Hands-on design or manufacturing engineering experience on commercial airplane programs; direct experience on the 787 program strongly preferred.
• Proven ability to analyze complex trades/changes and produce actionable change proposals with risk and impact assessments.
• Familiarity with product lifecycle processes and tools (PLM, PDM, engineering data systems) and their integration with CM processes.
• Prior role as a technical integrator, configuration manager, or systems engineer on commercial transport aircraft (787 preferred).
• Experience with PLM/PDM or CM tools such as Enovia, Teamcenter, Windchill, IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (DOORS), or similar.
• Knowledge of aerospace change processes, enterprise gated development, readiness levels, and regulatory compliance requirements.
• Preferred experience with Non-Recurring Product Definition (NRPD).
• Familiarity with software configuration and model-based systems engineering (MBSE) concepts and tools.
• Experience integrating CM/DM practices with Agile practices and tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence) across engineering organizations.
• Certification in configuration management, systems engineering, or relevant disciplines (e.g., CISCM, INCOSE, PMI-ACP).
