Associate Systems Engineer

Company Associate Systems Engineer – Boeing’s Phantom Works Missile Defense National Teams. Overview Build the system-of-systems that protects the homeland. The Boeing-led Systems Engineering and Integration (SE&I) National Team helps the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) shape system-level concepts, architectures, requirements, and assessments that drive incremental upgrades to America’s Missile Defense System. The C2BMC National Team evolves the integrating elements that link sensors and weapons and synchronize operations to deliver a layered defense across all phases of flight. Disciplines Hired Current disciplines: Systems Architecture, Requirements and Interfaces; Systems Integration, Verification & Validation; Modeling and Simulation. Position Responsibilities Systems Architecture, Requirements, and Interfaces 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. 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). Use modeling, simulation, and quantitative methods to provide technical leadership and recommendations in assigned focus areas. Location & Travel This position is expected to be 100% onsite (no hybrid or remote options). Travel may be required, domestically and/or internationally depending on business needs. Security Clearance An active U.S. Secret Security Clearance is required (U.S. citizenship required). A clearance that has been active in the past 24 months is considered active. Basic Qualifications Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology (including Manufacturing Technology), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, or a non‑U.S. equivalent directly related to the work statement. Minimum 2 years of related engineering experience. Prior experience in system engineering (e.g., Systems, Design, Architecture, Integration, Requirements, or Test). Preferred Qualifications Systems Architecture, Requirements, and Interfaces Familiarity with missile‑defense mission context, especially command & control, battle management, and communications. Experience with requirements analysis & verification. Experience with requirements and architecture development for complex systems/system‑of‑systems. Experience using MBSE / requirements tools such as Cameo, DOORS, or similar. Experience supporting architecture / requirements trade studies. Systems Integration, Verification & Validation Experience driving or supporting integration and test, including executing and documenting test events. Experience developing or tailoring I&T processes, tools, and metrics. Experience evaluating results against requirements. Familiarity working across multiple stakeholders/teams. Scripting/programming for test/tool support (Python, MATLAB, Java, or similar). Modeling and Simulation Experience performing system/performance analysis or trade studies (e.g., operational/feasibility analysis, MOEs/TPMs). Experience developing or using modeling and simulation tools to predict performance. Familiarity with modeling engagement domains (missile defense or related air/space/ballistic domains). Scripting/programming for analysis tools (Python, MATLAB, Java, or similar). Ability to communicate results clearly to support decisions with technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
