About the role

Boeing Defense, Space & Security is hiring a Lead Design and Analysis Engineer in Berkeley, MO. Join a fast-paced Phantom Works program responsible for integrating highly complex system-of-systems mission capabilities across sensors, mission management, communications, networks, and weapons/effector interfaces. This role is for a senior technical contributor who will shape and lead the integration of multiple subsystems and external sources into cohesive tactical mission capabilities that perform reliably in operational environments.

Responsibilities

• Lead system-level definition and decomposition of requirements for system-of-systems mission integration across sensors, mission management, communications, and weapons/payload interfaces.
• Shape and maintain SysML/MBSE architecture models that capture system behavior, functional decomposition, interface definitions, requirement traceability, and verification strategy across the lifecycle.
• Establish and drive end-to-end mission system architectures, including interdependencies, data flows, timing budgets, synchronization, operational constraints, and integration assumptions.
• Lead integration of onboard and offboard systems, including distributed sensors, datalinks, external mission services, and partner-provided capabilities.
• Develop and evaluate mission logic related to sensor integration, track management, mission planning, state awareness, decision support, and effect coordination.
• Lead simulation, test, and verification strategy development; guide lab, integration, and field testing to validate system behavior against model assumptions and operational requirements.
• Perform system-level analysis of failure modes, sensitivity, robustness, and degraded operations; define fault detection, recovery, and resilience behaviors for mission-critical architectures.
• Use MBSE methods to drive trade studies, architecture decisions, change impact assessments, and technical reviews across the broader mission system.
• Produce concise technical documentation supporting design decisions, model assumptions, verification results, integration artifacts, and compliance/safety evidence.
• Communicate technical tradeoffs, risks, and recommended paths forward to leadership, customers, and cross-functional partners.
• Serve as a key technical authority for assigned capability areas, from requirements through architecture modeling, prototype, integration, verification, optimization, deployment, and sustainment.
• Mentor junior engineers and influence integration standards, reusable patterns, and best practices across the organization.
• Represent the program in technical reviews, demonstrations, and stakeholder engagements as a recognized subject matter expert.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering (with a focus in Electrical, Mechanical or Aeronautical), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement.
• 14+ years of related work experience and a bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of related work experience and technical education.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working in MSOSA, or similar Model Based Systems Engineering tools.
• Experience with integration of DoD tactical platforms sensors and subsystems.
• Experience developing requirements and applicable traceability from the weapon system down to subsystems.
• Experience with avionics integration testing, analysis tools (e.g. Matlab or others), and flight test.

Benefits

• Best-in-class 401(k) plan with dollar-for-dollar company match up to 10% of eligible pay and immediate 100% vesting.
• Student Loan Match: Qualified student loan debt payments count toward company match for 401(k) contributions.
• Health insurance, flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts, retirement savings plans, life and disability insurance programs.
• Paid and unpaid time away from work programs.

Pay

Pay is based upon candidate experience and qualifications, as well as market and business considerations. Summary pay range: $164,900-$223,100.
