The Boeing Company is seeking an Experienced Test & Evaluation Engineer to join the Boeing Test & Evaluation team, working in the Metrology and Test Equipment Services (MATES) group in Huntsville, AL. This opportunity will also involve working with local and enterprise MATES personnel to support Metrology operations in the Boeing Enterprise.
The successful candidate will join a geographically dispersed and multidisciplinary metrology engineering team that is responsible for developing and supporting measurement solutions in support of advanced manufacturing, product production, research and development and test & evaluation activities. This job is primarily to support the metrology engineering teams and the associated calibration labs within MATES. This role requires coordination with people in various time zones across the US and with all Boeing business units, including BCA, BDS, ET&T primarily. Traditional Engineering skills will be used to improve the development and deployment of engineering processing, software and tools, mathematical models, and the general aggregation and dissemination of enterprise-wide measurement solutions to support all of Boeing.
Metrology And Test Equipment Services (MATES) provides a full spectrum of test asset and metrology services and support for internal customers and products through all phases of the product lifecycle. Services include: calibration/certification of mechanical/physical, dimensional/optics, electrical and RF measurement equipment and test assets, sourcing management, measurement solutions, repair & maintenance, test asset selection and use, acquisition, allocation, resource and lifecycle management, and specialized test services.
MATES is comprised of engineers, technicians and administrative personnel who support programs, sites, business units and external/government customers by providing best value test asset management and metrology services through all phases of the product lifecycle.
This role is primarily first shift; however, there may be additional shift requirements to support program objectives.
