This requisition is seeking accomplished, self-motivated mid-career and senior engineers to design, analyze, test, certify, and support flight control and mechanical hydraulic systems and components (e.g. mechanical and hydraulic actuators [linear and rotary], electro-mechanical valves, hydraulic valves, sensors [LVDTs, RVDTs, Resolvers], gearboxes, torque tubes, electronic control units, and more) for the 787 family of aircraft as well as to support the production and fleet operations of this equipment.

This requisition is for multiple positions in multiple flight control and mechanical hydraulic disciplines performing many of the tasks listed below.

Flight Controls Mechanical Hydraulics Design & Analysis Engineer should be able to establish hand-calculations to spot-check computational analysis, perform multi-variable engineering analysis, develop test procedures to validate analysis tools, and develop Systems/Components interface requirements. In addition, candidates should have clear communication skills for reporting progress to a wide audience, the ability to develop a set of project goals and objectives, develop a project schedule, maintain and execute engineering on time.

Strong candidates should have technical knowledge in one or more of the following areas: system controls, mechanical systems, electrical systems, systems modeling, Electro-mechanical actuation, thermodynamics and fluid dynamics, aircraft certification, experience with model correlation from data to analysis tools, and experience with Cameo, Matlab/Simulink, Scripting code (Matlab, C ++, Python), and/or experience with physical modeling tools such as Easy5, Adams, or Simscape.

• Resolves airplane level requirements into system level requirements and resolve system level requirements into component requirements with time and cost-efficient validation methods.

• Participates in and lead system, component, and detail design efforts with thorough documentation within schedule and cost constraints to create error free, readily manufactured system and component specifications and drawings.

• Participates in and lead system level and component level validation analysis and testing, including plan creation; system and component test rigs; test monitoring; analysis and test report authoring; supplier test report review and approval; test failure analysis; and test failure mitigation.

• Participates in and lead system, component, and detail certification efforts, including creation of required certification artifacts, such as, system safety analysis, failure modes and effects analysis, and fault tree analysis; confirming and demonstrating traceability to regulatory requirements; and resolution of regulation conflicts.

• Supports on-going production efforts including timely resolution of build problems at Boeing and supplier manufacturing facilities; identifying and implementing design improvements to build accuracy, build rate, and production line safety; and timely resolution of rejections, functional test failures and flight squawks.

• Supports global fleet operations including subject matter expert consultation for airline and regulator queries; participate in and lead resolution efforts to resolve Service Related Problems (SRP); and analyze reported flight incidents to provide recommendations to the Safety Review Board (SRB) for Continued Operational Safety Program (COSP) determinations.

• Generally, these activities require successful cross-functional coordination within and outside of Boeing including with: manufacturing, avionics, crew-ops, airplane safety, aerodynamics, supply chain management, BCA systems software, suppliers, airline customers, and regulatory agencies.

• Gathers, defines and documents system level requirements to support flight control and mechanical hydraulic requirements definition.

• Resolves requirement conflicts. Performs and documents analysis and design of mechanical systems to validate or assess the system design or models.

• Develops solutions and disposition of issues to assure customer satisfaction.

• Develops system and subsystem architecture alternatives to meet requirements and objectives. Analyzes and compare alternatives (trade study) to rapidly converge on preferred configurations including defining and executing system simulations and development test programs.

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering (with a focus on Mechanical, Civil, Aerospace Aeronautical or Material Sciences).

• Level 3: 5 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

• 3+ years of professional experience working in an engineering field.

• Ability to travel domestically and internationally 10%.

• Level 4: 9 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

• Level 3/4 - Experience mentoring and developing others.

• 3+ years of experience in Mechanical, Electrical, and/or Hydraulic systems.

• 5+ years of experience in aerospace related role.

• 5+ years of experience working in 3D visualization toolsets.

• 5+ years of experience with component/system/airplane FAA/EASA certification.

• 5+ years of experience reading and interpreting engineering drawings, procedures, and specifications.

• 5+ years of experience in Flight Controls or Mechanical Hydraulic systems engineering roles.

• 5+ years of demonstrated project management skills.
