The Boeing Test Operations and Engineering team in Berkeley , Missouri is seeking Mechanical Design Engineers to join our Instrumentation Installation Design group supporting flight test programs.

In this team, a design engineer has the primary responsibility for the synthesis of requirements, creation of engineering definition, 3D models, 2D drawings, and model-based definition that define the mechanical hardware required to install a flight test data system. Flight test hardware is frequently located throughout the aircraft giving an employee a chance to get familiar with different areas of the platform.

Instrumentation installation designers work the entire design cycle including support of requirement definition, layouts, coordination with electrical designers, preliminary design review, engineering release, coordination with manufacturing engineers and suppliers, occasional shipside support, and change incorporation.

We are currently hiring for a broad range of experience levels including Entry-Level , Associate or Experienced Mechanical Systems Design & Analysis Engineers.

Position Responsibilities Include:

+ Incorporation of instrumentation into mechanical designs, including model-based wire routing

+ Design detailed mechanical components such as shelves, equipment trays, wiring clips, brackets, sensor mounts and specialized test mechanisms

+ Development of mechanical design criteria from customer test objectives/specifications

+ Support the development, maintenance or modification of system designs/proposals to provide design documentation and high-level requirements to downstream users/customers

+ Work closely with manufacturing engineers on producibility and procurement

+ Support the mod team during installation with engineering revisions and sometimes support shipside, whether that modification is along the assembly line in Saint Louis, a remote site in the US like an Air Force base, or even sometimes internationally

+ Support all the Saint Louis production programs (F-47, F-15, F/A-18, T-7A, MQ-25A, Weapons) and team members will work across those platforms

+ Support team in performing spatial integration at system or component level and modification of mechanisms/landing gear/ordinance systems

+ Assist in preparing technical documents for mechanical components and systems

+ Perform system tests to verify operational and functional requirements

+ Assist in monitoring suppliers' performance to ensure compliance with requirements

+ Support resolution of product integration issues and production anomalies
