The Boeing Company is seeking Associate and Mid-Level Aerodynamic Stability and Control Engineers to support the Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) team. This position is located in Everett, Washington.
As an Aerodynamic Stability and Control Engineer, you will perform analyses to support both airplanes in development and service. You will gain an airplane-level perspective of the vehicle requirements, aerodynamic performance and human factors. You will be relied upon as a flight dynamics and handling qualities expert, influencing the development of the airplane, verifying capabilities during the flight test program, and/or while supporting our airline customers who operate our airplanes. You will have opportunities to interface directly with other disciplines and the Flight Test pilot community, expanding your network and sphere of influence. You will utilize a variety of computational tools and techniques to reach solutions to complex problems with competing requirements. You develop and use high fidelity steady-state and dynamic simulation models to analyze extreme flight conditions. You’ll be an integral part of ensuring the safety, performance and efficiency of current and future Boeing Commercial Airplane products.
