Design and Analysis Engineer (Mid-Level or Senior)
Company:
The Boeing Company
Join a fast-paced Boeing Phantom Works program in Berkeley, MO responsible for integrating highly complex sensors, communications, and weapon systems. As a Design and Analysis Engineer (Mid-Level or Senior) , you will develop and integrate multi-sensor fusion solutions that combine IR, RF, and offboard data to deliver reliable fused tracks and sensor products for mission-critical systems. This role spans algorithm design, real-time implementation, system integration, verification, and stakeholder communication.
Position Responsibilities:
Define system and interface requirements for multi-sensor fusion across IR and RF domains, and for integration of onboard and offboard sources (datalinks, distributed sensors).
Architect and document fusion solutions: block diagrams, data flows, latency/bandwidth budgets, timing, and synchronization.
Design, prototype, and evaluate fusion algorithms (track association, data association, state estimation, sensor registration, bias estimation, confidence/uncertainty quantification).
Develop simulations, test plans, and lead lab/field verification, validation, and performance characterization.
Specify and enforce data models, messaging formats, timestamping, and coordinate-frame conventions to ensure interoperable integration.
Integrate algorithms into real-time processors and embedded platforms; collaborate with SW/HW teams on optimization, profiling, and deployment.
Analyze failure modes, perform sensitivity and robustness studies, and specify fault detection/recovery behaviors.
Produce concise technical documentation for design decisions, validation results, and safety/compliance artifacts.
Communicate results, tradeoffs, and operational suitability to leadership, customers, and industry partners; support user demonstrations.
Take ownership of assigned capabilities and features and delivers end-to-end.
Communicate tradeoffs and recommended paths forward to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Proactively document decisions and contribute to reusable patterns and standards.
Level 3 Responsibilities:
Expected to independently deliver complex fusion features and integrations.
Own end-to-end algorithm development and prototype-to-embedded translation for assigned capability areas.
Mentor junior engineers and integrate across disciplinary teams (sensors, software, systems).
Contribute design artifacts and trade studies; drive verification of delivered capabilities.
Level 4 Responsibilities:
Leads cross-functional technical initiatives and sets architecture for major fusion capabilities or subsystems.
Drives system-level requirements, end-to-end data flow designs, and architectural trade-offs impacting multiple teams.
Responsible for technical mentorship, standards, and enabling scalable integration and verification practices.
Frequently represents the program in technical reviews with customers and partners.
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.
Level 3: 5+ years of related work experience and a bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of related work experience and technical education.
Level 4: 9+ years of related work experience and a bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of related work experience and technical education.
Solid experience (Level 3: ~5+ years; Level 4: ~9+ years) in multi-sensor data fusion, tracking, or signal processing for IR and/or RF domains.
Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills and Experience):
Demonstrated competency with sensor fusion techniques: Kalman filters/variants, MHT, particle filters, Bayesian methods, and data association.
Hands-on prototyping experience in MATLAB/Simulink and/or Python; demonstrated ability to translate algorithms to C/C++ for embedded or real-time targets.
Experience integrating onboard and offboard data sources and understanding latency, bandwidth, synchronization, and security implications of distributed sensing.
Strong systems engineering capabilities: requirements derivation, interface control documents, verification planning, and trade studies.
Prior experience deploying fusion algorithms on real-time or embedded processors and optimizing for latency and computational load.
Familiarity with simulation frameworks and test automation for lab/field characterization.
Model based systems engineering methodologies (MSOSA preferred).
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; demonstrated experience working across multi-disciplinary teams and presenting to leadership.
