Database Engineer - Entry Level

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.

About the Role

As a Database Engineer at Boeing Intelligence and Analytics (BI&A), you will provide technical expertise for database design, development, implementation, information storage and retrieval, data flow, and analysis. This role focuses on developing relational and/or Object-Oriented databases, database parser software, and database loading software. You will design database structures that fit into the overall system architecture, balancing factors such as data volumes, user numbers, logical and physical distribution, response times, retention rules, security, and domain controls.

You will work primarily at the front end of the lifecycle—from requirements through system acceptance testing and Initial Operational Capability (IOC). This includes developing requirements from project inception to conclusion for business and IT subject areas, ranging from simple to complex systems. You will also assist with recommendations for system improvements, optimization, development, and maintenance efforts, and translate requirements and data into usable documents by creating or updating ad hoc queries, scripts, and macros.
