Senior Low Observables Design & Integration Engineer - Pole Model
The Boeing Company
Come join a winning team and support the development of Boeing’s Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) platforms.
The Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) - Phantom Works organization is seeking a Senior Low Observables (LO) Design & Integration Engineer to lead design and analysis activities supporting the fabrication and test of an RCS pole model.
The successful candidate will apply deep expertise in LO materials, integration, manufacturing, computational electromagnetic (CEM) modelling, and test support to design, build and test a representative pole model for an advanced next generation program in the St. Louis region.
Lead detailed LO design and integration for the RCS pole model, including material selection, incorporation of advanced technologies, supplier hardware integration.
Use computational electromagnetic solvers to model, analyze, and optimize radar cross section (RCS) and scattering behavior across required frequency bands and aspect angles in support of pre-test predictions and diagnostics.
Work with Manufacturing to ensure proper alignment between design, analysis and fabrication of LO components.
Define and support fabrication processes, QA checks, and build plans for LO skins, coatings, RAM treatments, and attachments; identify and mitigate manufacturability risks, provide LO liaison support to the shop.
Develop and execute test plans for RCS characterization (anechoic chamber and outdoor ranges), including instrumentation, calibration, and measurement repeatability considerations.
Prepare and execute data processing workflows to reduce, calibrate, and analyze measured RCS and related EM test data; combine simulation and measurement data for validation and design iteration.
Produce clear technical documentation: design descriptions, analysis reports, test plans, test reports, procedures, and presentation materials for program reviews.
Mentor junior engineers and support continuous improvement of LO design, test, and data processing practices.
Hands-on support in fabrication or test setups may be required.
Will require travel to other company locations, supplier facilities, fabrication shops, and test ranges (including anechoic chambers and outdoor ranges).
Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering (with a focus in Electrical, Mechanical or Aeronautical), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement
Professional experience working with low observable materials and technologies, including hands-on exposure to LO integration, design, manufacturing, and test
Demonstrated experience using computational electromagnetic solvers (e.g., FEKO, HFSS, CST, WIPL-D, CARLOS, SENTRI, XPATCH or equivalent) for design and optimization of LO systems and RCS predictions
Strong understanding of electromagnetic principles relevant to scattering, phenomena, and Radar Cross Section
Proven track record supporting fabrication and testing of LO components/assemblies and correlating measurements to models
Proficiency in data processing and analysis of RCS/EM test data, including calibration, clutter and background rejection, and data visualization techniques
Excellent technical writing skills with experience producing engineering reports, test plans, and test reports
Active U.S. Top Secret Security Clearance
Ability to obtain Special Program Access (U.S. Only Citizenship required)
Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in a relevant discipline
Past experience with RCS pole models and range testing
Knowledge of LO materials and application processes, as well as nondestructive inspection methods for LO components
Familiarity with CAD tools and integration with CEM workflows
Effective verbal communication and collaboration skills; ability to lead technical discussions and interface with suppliers, customers, leadership and test facility personnel.
