Experienced Low Observables Mission Systems Integration Engineer

Experienced Low Observables Mission Systems Integration Engineer

Company:
The Boeing Company

We are seeking a Low Observables (LO) Design & Integration Engineer to support design and analysis activities for stealth/low-signature systems. The engineer will perform LO material and structure design, electromagnetic analysis, integration and test support, data processing, and technical reporting. The role requires practical experience with LO materials and technologies, solid electromagnetics knowledge, and hands-on expertise with computational electromagnetic (CEM) solvers used to design and optimize LO solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform design and analysis tasks for LO materials, coatings, treatments, and structural treatments to minimize radar, infrared, and other signatures.
• Develop and validate LO integration concepts for aircraft/vehicle structures and subsystems, including manufacturability and testability considerations.
• Use CEM solvers to model, simulate, and optimize LO components and systems (e.g., surface treatments, RAM, apertures, seams, RAM-structure interactions).
• Perform sensitivity studies and trade-offs across materials, geometry, and integration approaches to meet system-level LO requirements.
• Process and analyze measured test data from laboratory and flight/field tests; compare test results to simulation and iterate designs.
• Produce technical documentation: detailed analysis reports, integration guidance, test plans, and summaries suitable for engineering and program management audiences.
• Communicate technical results and recommendations to multidisciplinary teams and support design reviews.
• Support manufacturing and test engineering to ensure LO design intent is preserved through fabrication and verification.

Required Qualifications

• 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
• 5 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience or non-US equivalent qualifications.
• 2 years experience with LO integration, design, manufacturing considerations, and test support for aerospace or defense systems.
• Ability to obtain Special Program Access (U.S. hip required)

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong understanding of electromagnetic principles relevant to radar cross section (RCS), scattering, absorption, reflection, aperture coupling, and material electromagnetic properties.
• Proficiency using computational electromagnetic (CEM) solvers and tools to design and optimize LO systems. Examples include but are not limited to: ANSYS HFSS, CST Microwave Studio, FEKO, SIE/PO and/or in-house CEM codes
• Data processing and analysis skills using scripting and numerical tools (e.g., Python, MATLAB, NumPy, SciPy) to manipulate simulation and test datasets, perform post-processing, and generate plots.
• Strong technical writing and documentation skills; ability to produce clear, concise technical reports, test plans, and presentations.
• Ability to work collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams and communicate technical trade-offs effectively.
• Experience with material characterization techniques for LO materials (e.g., permittivity/permeability extraction, reflectivity/absorptivity measurements, THz/IR material characterization).
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes and quality controls for LO coatings and structural treatments.
• Experience with system-level signature analysis, multi-physics simulation, and measurement-to-model correlation workflows.
• Familiarity with configuration management, data versioning, and standard engineering tools (e.g., CAD, PLM systems).
