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. Find your future with us. The Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) - Phantom Works organization is seeking a seasoned Low Observables (LO) Design & Integration Engineer to lead design and analysis activities supporting the fabrication and test of an RCS pole model. The successful candidate will apply deep expertise in LO materials, integration, manufacturing, computational electromagnetic (CEM) modelling, and test support to design, build and test a representative pole model for an advanced next generation program in the St. Louis region.
Job Responsibility:
Lead detailed LO design and integration for the RCS pole model, including material selection, incorporation of advanced technologies, supplier hardware integration
Use computational electromagnetic solvers to model, analyze, and optimize radar cross section (RCS) and scattering behavior across required frequency bands and aspect angles in support of pre-test predictions and diagnostics
Work with Manufacturing to ensure proper alignment between design, analysis and fabrication of LO components
Define and support fabrication processes, QA checks, and build plans for LO skins, coatings, RAM treatments, and attachments
identify and mitigate manufacturability risks, provide LO liaison support to the shop
Develop and execute test plans for RCS characterization (anechoic chamber and outdoor ranges), including instrumentation, calibration, and measurement repeatability considerations
Prepare and execute data processing workflows to reduce, calibrate, and analyze measured RCS and related EM test data
combine simulation and measurement data for validation and design iteration
Produce clear technical documentation: design descriptions, analysis reports, test plans, test reports, procedures, and presentation materials for program reviews
Mentor junior engineers and support continuous improvement of LO design, test, and data processing practices
Requirements:
Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement
7+ years of professional experience working with low observable materials and technologies, including hands-on exposure to LO integration, design, manufacturing, and test
Demonstrated experience using computational electromagnetic solvers (e.g., FEKO, HFSS, CST, WIPL-D, CARLOS, SENTRI, XPATCH or equivalent) for design and optimization of LO systems and RCS predictions
Strong understanding of electromagnetic principles relevant to scattering, phenomena and Radar Cross Section
Proven track record supporting fabrication and testing of LO components/assemblies and correlating measurements to models
Proficiency in data processing and analysis of RCS/EM test data, including calibration, clutter and background rejection, and data visualization techniques
Excellent technical writing skills with experience producing engineering reports, test plans, and test reports
Effective verbal communication and collaboration skills
ability to lead technical discussions and interface with suppliers, customers, leadership and test facility personnel
Ability to obtain a Top Secret clearance and Special Program Access (US Only Citizenship required)
Nice to have:
Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in a relevant discipline
Past experience with RCS pole models, and range testing
Experience with material characterization techniques
Knowledge of LO materials and application processes, as well as nondestructive inspection methods for LO components
Familiarity with CAD tools and integration with CEM workflows
