Systems Engineer 2 (contract)

This posting is for a contract assignment and is not a full-time employment offer with Boeing. Candidates selected for roles will be employed as contract workers through a Boeing approved 3rd party for the duration of the specified project.

As a Systems Engineer in this organization, the candidate will have the opportunity to develop and implement systems engineering processes and tools for current and future development and production programs. These activities provide a technical foundation for digital sustainment and decision support for our internal and external customers. The position offers exposure to the entire development life cycle of our products with an emphasis on operations and support.

This position will entail working on a team which develops our model-based sustainment simulation capability, which enables our customers to define and execute supportability trade studies based on the latest fleet performance data, experiment and test the results of anticipated events and choice of responses and make better informed decisions while fully supported with visibility to the options available to them. This capability employs an agile development methodology consistent with the Department of Defense (DoD) requirements and is adaptable to rapidly respond to customer needs.

The systems engineering processes will focus on functional, logical, and operational architectures; requirements development and management; logistics and supply chain network, lifecycle cost and mission analyses. Frequent engagements with other program leaders and subject matter experts is expected and offers broad visibility to diverse programs across Boeing. This position offers the opportunity to make a meaningful difference to the effectiveness, efficiency, and quality of our future government services programs.

The successful candidate will be highly motivated and work well with cross-functional teams including software and data science. The ability to maintain and develop plans/schedules and to monitor and report schedule performance is required. Good oral and written communication are essential to success in this position. Background in one or more of the following areas is preferred but not required: logistics support, modeling and simulation analysis (logistics, operations, cost), software development, integration and test, data science and simulation animation.

Position Responsibilities:

Develop, document, and verify customer requirements to outline stakeholder scenarios for analysis

Assess operational availability, mission effectiveness, cost for baseline, adverse part reliability, and mitigation scenarios to transform stakeholder scenarios into trade study requests using pre-configured templates.

Support the selection, configuration, and implementation of appropriate analysis models to align with outlined stakeholder requirements

Produce meaningful analysis through evaluation of sustainment strategies to improve fleet performance by integrating models for supply chain and logistics, mission operations, and life-cycle cost

Coordinate with the customer and present trade-study analysis results at customer engagements in the Virtual Sustainment Center (VSC) using a standard suite of analysis dashboards

Support modification of simulation models and trade study definitions to address different scenarios and decision support questions.

Support model optimization tasks and release testing to incorporate capability enhancements into modeling suite

Support the development and maintenance of product roadmaps and system lifecycle plans.

Document team plans and status, develop meeting agendas and presentations.

This position is expected to be 100% onsite. The selected candidate will be required to work onsite at one of the listed location options.
