The Northwest Systems Laboratory organization within Boeing Test & Evaluation (BT&E) is seeking an Associate Electrical Design and Analysis Engineer to join our Electrical Core Design team in Seattle, WA. The Northwest Systems Laboratory organization comprises the majority of systems testing for Boeing Commercial Airplanes and Military Derivatives. The organization supports all types of systems testing including: Flight Controls, Cabin Systems, Avionics, Flight Decks, Electrical, Mechanical, and Hydraulics Labs.
The Electrical Core Design Team of Engineers design large scale test systems that are essentially the bread boarded versions of the electronics that are installed on an airplane. The main goal of these systems is to verify the electrical design of the suite of electrical equipment that gets installed on an airplane before it ever gets built into an aircraft. Any of the design issues that are found and fixed in the lab translate to effective cost saving measures and help make our products safe.
