We’re committed to fostering an environment for every teammate that’s welcoming, respectful and inclusive, with great opportunity for professional growth. Find your future with us.
The Boeing Test & Evaluation (BT&E) organization is seeking a Test and Evaluation Engineer at the Satellite & Space Systems location in El Segundo, California. This is home of the world’s largest
dedicated spacecraft factory with over 1 million square feet of integration and test facilities.
This position offers a unique opportunity to lead fast-paced teams working complex technical challenges in support of satellite communications programs. Lead Test and Evaluation Engineers (LTEE) will interact with other engineering disciplines, including mechanical engineering, systems engineering and specialty engineering, as well as production operations, and program management. In addition, this position requires an individual with excellent technical, communication, relationship-building skills, and system level test experience. This role will support Government and Commercial programs.
The LTEEs primary duty is to lead the V&V planning and execution on a given space vehicle product line. The effort ranges from the initial contract acceptance, design reviews, integration of
subsystems, all phases of system level test, and through launch site. The LTEE is expected to have constant awareness of the space vehicle product line (vehicle configurations, schedules, test
execution) during the entire lifecycle.
The LTEE works closely with the Space Vehicle Test Directors (SVTD) across a product line to ensure rigorous test phase readiness for first-pass success. Safety of personnel, space vehicle, and
factory equipment are absolutely critical for the LTEE to factor into all aspects of the test program. The LTEE supports and/or leads Readiness Reviews (Test Readiness – TRR; Internal Design – IDR;
Integration Readiness - IRR) and the Post Test Reviews (PTR). As a leader, the LTEE will ensure coaching, training, and mentoring of their peers and team members is part of their daily operating
rhythm.
This position is primarily 1st shift; however, various shifts, nights, weekends and alternate shifts may be required to support program objectives.
