Associate Systems Engineer

Associate Systems Engineer Company: Build the system-of-systems that protects the homeland. Boeing’s Phantom Works Missile Defense National Teams are hiring Systems Engineers to work at Colorado Springs , CO at the intersection of mission outcomes, architecture, analysis, integration, and test. On the Boeing-led Systems Engineering and Integration (SE&I) National Team , you’ll help the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) shape system-level concepts, architectures, requirements, and assessments that drive incremental upgrades to America’s Missile Defense System. On the Command, Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) National Team , you’ll help evolve the integrating element that links sensors and weapons and synchronizes operations to deliver a layered defense across all phases of flight. Our teams are currently hiring a broad range of Associate Systems Engineers in the following disciplines: • Systems Architecture, Requirements and Interfaces  • Systems Integration, Verification, & Validation   • Modeling and Simulation Position Responsibilities Depending on your assignment, you will contribute across mission assessment, architecture, requirements, Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE), integration, and test – often with direct collaboration across Boeing, industry partners, and government stakeholders. Systems Architecture, Requirements, and Interfaces • Help define and evolve the MDA/C2BMC system architecture. • Develop and maintain requirements and architecture artifacts (including interface definitions) to support missile defense capabilities. • Run and support architecture and requirements trade studies to recommend options that improve mission performance, cost/schedule, and technical feasibility. • Own and improve the requirements management engine: planning, organizing, implementing, and monitoring of requirements processes and tools (including traceability, change control, and quality). • Support program-level risks/issues/opportunities tracking and technology readiness assessments as they relate to architecture and requirements decisions. • Collaborate frequently with MDA, warfighters, and industry partners to align requirements, interfaces, and system priorities. Systems Integration, Verification, & Validation  • Plan and execute integration and checkout work – define tasks, schedule them, assign work, monitor completion, and keep the integration plan moving. • Evaluate results from integration/checkout activities and determine whether they meet checkout requirements so the team can proceed to the next stage • Help define and drive the overall integration and test (I&T) strategy (processes, tools, and metrics) to ensure we verify requirements effectively and consistently • Execute and document integration and test events, including capturing results, issues, and evidence needed for verification • Partner with integration/test SMEs to solve complex system problems spanning process, tools, regulations, and system-specific issues • Identify and implement tool/process improvements that reduce friction and increase throughput (automation, reporting, repeatable workflows) Modeling and Simulation • Evaluate system performance across realistic scenarios and architectures to provide mission insight used by MDA and warfighters • Build and maintain analysis tools across multiple levels of fidelity, including modeling and simulation that predicts performance against evolving threats • Perform system and performance trade studies (mission effectiveness, architecture comparisons, “what-if” analyses) to inform technical decisions • Develop and improve modeling approaches to ensure results are credible, repeatable, and decision-useful (assumptions, data handling, validation/verification of models)
