Systems Engineer (Experienced or Lead)

About the role

Boeing’s Phantom Works Missile Defense National Teams are hiring Systems Engineers to work at Colorado Springs, CO. The teams are currently hiring a broad range of Experienced and Lead Systems Engineers in the following disciplines:

• Systems Architecture, Requirements and Interfaces
• Systems Integration, Verification, & Validation
• Modeling and Simulation

Responsibilities

Depending on your assignment, you will contribute across mission assessment, architecture, requirements, Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE), integration, and test – often with direct collaboration across Boeing, industry partners, and government stakeholders.

Systems Architecture, Requirements, and Interfaces

• Help define and evolve the MDA/C2BMC system architecture.
• Develop and maintain requirements and architecture artifacts (including interface definitions) to support missile defense capabilities.
• Run and support architecture and requirements trade studies to recommend options that improve mission performance, cost/schedule, and technical feasibility.
• Own and improve the requirements management engine: planning, organizing, implementing, and monitoring of requirements processes and tools (including traceability, change control, and quality).
• Support program-level risks/issues/opportunities tracking and technology readiness assessments as they relate to architecture and requirements decisions.
• Collaborate frequently with MDA, warfighters, and industry partners to align requirements, interfaces, and system priorities.

Systems Integration, Verification, & Validation

• Plan and execute integration and checkout work – define tasks, schedule them, assign work, monitor completion, and keep the integration plan moving.
• Evaluate results from integration/checkout activities and determine whether they meet checkout requirements so the team can proceed to the next stage.
• Help define and drive the overall integration and test (I&T) strategy (processes, tools, and metrics) to ensure we verify requirements effectively and consistently.
• Execute and document integration and test events, including capturing results, issues, and evidence needed for verification.
• Partner with integration/test SMEs to solve complex system problems spanning process, tools, regulations, and system-specific issues.
• Identify and implement tool/process improvements that reduce friction and increase throughput (automation, reporting, repeatable workflows).

Modeling and Simulation

• Evaluate system performance across realistic scenarios and architectures to provide mission insight used by MDA and warfighters.
• Build and maintain analysis tools across multiple levels of fidelity, including modeling and simulation that predicts performance against evolving threats.
• Perform system and performance trade studies (mission effectiveness, architecture comparisons, “what-if” analyses) to inform technical decisions.
• Develop and improve modeling approaches to ensure results are credible, repeatable, and decision-useful (assumptions, data handling, validation/verification of models).
• Use modeling, simulation, and quantitative methods to provide technical leadership and recommendations in assigned focus areas.

Qualifications

• 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.
• 4 or more years' related engineering experience.
• Prior experience in system engineering (e.g. Systems, Design, Architecture, Integration, Requirements or Test).

Benefits

• Generous company match to your 401(k).
• Industry-leading tuition assistance program pays your institution directly.
• Fertility, adoption, and surrogacy benefits.
• Up to $10,000 gift match when you support your favorite nonprofit organizations.

Pay

• Summary pay range (Experienced): $112,200 - $151,800
• Summary pay range (Lead): $136,850 - $185,150
