About the role
Lead Design and Analysis Engineer Company: The Boeing Company Boeing Defense, Space & Security is hiring a Lead Design and Analysis Engineer in Berkeley, MO. Join a fast-paced Phantom Works program responsible for integrating highly complex system-of-systems mission capabilities across sensors, mission management, communications, networks, and weapons/effector interfaces. This role is for a senior technical contributor who will shape and lead the integration of multiple subsystems and external sources into cohesive tactical mission capabilities that perform reliably in operational environments. You will lead the definition, architecture, integration, and verification of mission solutions spanning payloads, distributed sensors, datalinks, mission management functions, and payloads. This position requires deep systems engineering expertise, strong SysML/MBSE capability, real-time and embedded integration experience, and the ability to influence technical direction across programs and disciplines. Position Responsibilities: • Lead system-level definition and decomposition of requirements for system-of-systems mission integration across sensors, mission management, communications, and weapons/payload interfaces. • Shape and maintain SysML/MBSE architecture models that capture system behavior, functional decomposition, interface definitions, requirement traceability, and verification strategy across the lifecycle. • Establish and drive end-to-end mission system architectures, including interdependencies, data flows, timing budgets, synchronization, operational constraints, and integration assumptions. • Lead integration of onboard and offboard systems, including distributed sensors, datalinks, external mission services, and partner-provided capabilities. • Develop and evaluate mission logic related to sensor integration, track management, mission planning, state awareness, decision support, and effect coordination. • Lead simulation, test, and verification strategy development; guide lab, integration, and field testing to validate system behavior against model assumptions and operational requirements. • Perform system-level analysis of failure modes, sensitivity, robustness, and degraded operations; define fault detection, recovery, and resilience behaviors for mission-critical architectures. • Use MBSE methods to drive trade studies, architecture decisions, change impact assessments, and technical reviews across the broader mission system. • Produce concise technical documentation supporting design decisions, model assumptions, verification results, integration artifacts, and compliance/safety evidence. • Communicate technical tradeoffs, risks, and recommended paths forward to leadership, customers, and cross-functional partners. • Serve as a key technical authority for assigned capability areas, from requirements through architecture modeling, prototype, integration, verification, optimization, deployment, and sustainment. • Mentor junior engineers and influence integration standards, reusable patterns, and best practices across the organization. • Represent the program in technical reviews, demonstrations, and stakeholder engagements as a recognized subject matter expert. Basic Qualifications (Required Skills and Experience): • 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 • 14+ years of related work experience and a bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of related work experience and technical education Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills and Experience): • Experience working in MSOSA, or similar Model Base
