Boeing Global Services (BGS) is currently seeking an Associate Mechanical Design Engineer to join the Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (GSE) engineering design team in Hazelwood, MO supporting Boeing Phantom Works and Air Dominance Military Programs.
This team is responsible for creating a wide range of products to support military aircraft maintenance activity and ground operations. Basic Ground Support Equipment product examples include aircraft slings, engine installation equipment, landing gear installation equipment, handling dollies, and a variety of subsystems component installation equipment. Additional GSE products include protective covers and remove before flight gear. Mechanical Ground Support Equipment Design is a niche within the aerospace industry that offers mechanical engineers countless opportunities to learn about and work with most aircraft systems without being tied to one specific area for years at a time. Candidates proficient and interested in pure mechanical device creation and development should apply.
The candidate selected for this position will mature existing design concepts into deliverable products and have opportunities to develop mechanical products from scratch. The work environment is an office setting, collocated with other mechanical design engineers. Occasional domestic travel to support fabrication, assembly and test of new products may be required.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS (REQUIRED SKILLS/EXPERIENCE) P2:

• 2 or more years’ related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience.
• Bachelor of Science degree from an accredited course of study in mechanical, aerospace, automotive, manufacturing or civil engineering.
• Proficiency in advanced cad modeling software (NX, Catia or Solidworks)

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS (DESIRED SKILLS/EXPERIENCE) P2:

• Active Department of Defense Secret Clearance.
• Familiarity with mechanism design and mechanical tolerancing.
• Willingness to occasionally work outside the office environment supporting machine shops, mechanics and assembly technicians.
• Ability to interpret 2 dimensional engineering drawings.
• Experience prototyping mechanical devices.
• Basic understanding of engineering materials and material properties (aluminum, steel, engineering plastics, fabrics, webbing).
• Familiarity with mechanical ground support equipment (engine dollies, aircraft jacks, cranes, etc.)
• General knowledge of fabrication methods to include machining, welding, processing and assembly.
• General knowledge of mechanical hardware (fasteners, bearings, screw jacks, gear boxes, springs, casters, etc.)
• Ability to communicate with others and work on a team.
• Technically minded with a high value placed on attention to detail.

SUMMARY PAY RANGE: $76,500 – $103,500

Applications for this position will be accepted until Jun. 11, 2025
