Aerospace Systems Safety Engineer (Associate And Mid-Level)
The Boeing Enterprise Safety and Mission Assurance Team is looking to hire Systems Engineers to join the Airplane Safety Engineering (ASE) team in Everett, WA. The ASE team actively participates in airplane development programs such as the 777-9, 777-8 Freighter, and future programs. We build strong relationships with multi-discipline engineering teams, requiring technical savvy, communication skills, and a passion for learning. Our role spans designing and certifying products, with a relentless focus on compliance, safety, and product integrity without compromise.
As an Aerospace Systems Safety Engineer, you will ensure that safety analyses are properly conducted using airplane-level integration skills. This role demands an understanding of the complex integration of airplane systems, human factors, and operational integration. Attention to detail and a keen engineering mindset are essential, as our safety deliverables play a critical role in ensuring airplane compliance.
Successful candidates will be reliable, trustworthy, and accountable for delivering results. Familiarity with 14 CFR Part 25.1309, SAE ARP-4754, SAE ARP-4761, and hands-on experience developing and/or reviewing safety analyses are highly beneficial for this role.
The ability to take initiative, show leadership in cross-functional teams, and manage complex projects is essential. You will need to take ownership of work activities to ensure accurate, efficient, and timely completion.
Primary Responsibilities:
- Analyze the integration of complex airplane systems and their corresponding airplane-level effects, failure indications, and flight crew actions as part of a system of systems analysis
- Contribute by documenting safety analyses, hazard mitigation, validation, and verification activities in compliance with relevant customer and regulatory safety standards
- Support the definition and validation of safety, mission success, and airworthiness; provide support for incorporating these elements into designs, operations, and procedures
- Participate in tests, analyses, inspections, audits, and simulations to verify that systems meet defined safety and mission assurance requirements
- Assist with creating and maintaining aerospace safety and mission assurance tools and processes
This position is expected to be 100% onsite. The selected candidate will be required to work onsite in Everett, WA.
Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience):
- Bachelor of Science degree from an accredited course of study in engineering, engineering technology (includes manufacturing engineering technology), chemistry, physics, mathematics, data science, or computer science
- 1+ years of experience in one or more of the following areas: aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, airplane systems engineering and integration, airplane safety, or commercial airplane certification
- 1+ years of engineering experience on at least one of the following airplane models: 737, 737 Max, 747, 767, 777, 777X, 787
- Experience with safety analysis methods, including Functional Hazard Analysis (FHA), Failure Mode Effects and Analysis (FMEA), or System Safety Assessments (SSAs)
Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):
- Mid-Level: 5+ years of related work experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience
- Experience developing and applying aerospace-related system safety analysis methods such as Common Cause Analysis (CCA), Cascading Effects Analysis (CEA), and Fault-tree Analysis (FTA)
- Applied experience in commercial airplane systems design or analysis (e.g., Flight Controls, Hydraulics, Avionics, Propulsion)
- Knowledge and understanding of the commercial airplane Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System (EICAS)
- Experience demonstrating compliance with 14 CFR 25.1309 and application of industry practices such as ARP 4761 and 4754
- Experience developing requirements for aerospace systems and hardware
- Knowledge of Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE) methods as they apply to the development of engineering tools.
- FAA pilot certificate/ratings or equivalent aviation experience
