About
The Boeing Company is seeking an experienced 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. 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 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 (Electrical, Mechanical, Aeronautical), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, or equivalent with 5+ years of related work experience. 2+ years’ experience with LO integration and design, manufacturing considerations, and test support for aerospace or defense systems. U.S. citizenship required. Ability to obtain and maintain an active Top Secret Security Clearance and Special Program Access. Preferred Qualifications
Strong understanding of electromagnetic principles relevant to radar cross section (RCS), scattering, absorption, reflection, aperture coupling, and material electromagnetic properties. Proficiency in computational electromagnetic (CEM) solvers and tools: ANSYS HFSS, CST Microwave Studio, FEKO, SIE/PO, or in‑house codes. Data processing and analysis skills using scripting and numerical tools (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 (permittivity/permeability extraction, reflectivity/absorptivity measurements, THz/IR 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 (CAD, PLM systems). Security Clearance
Active Top Secret clearance required, with capability to obtain Special Program Access. U.S. Citizenship is required. Conflict of Interest
Successful candidates must satisfy the Company’s Conflict of Interest (COI) assessment process. Legal and EEO Statements
Boeing is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Employment decisions are made without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, military status, or other protected characteristics. Boeing EEO Policy applies. The company participates in E‑Verify. Relocation and Visa Sponsorship
Relocation may be offered based on candidate eligibility. The employer will not sponsor employment visas. Pay and Benefits
Summary pay range: Level 3 – $112,200–$151,800.
