About this role

Boeing Commercial Airplanes is hiring Mid-Level or Senior Propulsion Engineers specializing in Engine Performance to support Propulsion System Engineering in the Puget Sound area of Washington. In the Engine Operability role, you will play a critical part in engine and airframe integration using a robust Engine Performance and Operability background. The role focuses on achieving safe and airworthy Propulsion System designs.

You will analyze steady-state engine performance and thermodynamic cycle data while assessing engine operation across various conditions. Responsibilities include collaborating with disciplines like Aero, Environmental Controls, Mech/Hyd, and Thermal to evaluate cross-functional impacts. You will coordinate with engine suppliers on performance throughout the airplane program's lifecycle.

Join a dynamic team of engineers and leaders who prioritize technical growth and mentorship. This work supports the Propulsion Organization, a world-class team of over 1000 engineers across the product life cycle from development to certification to fleet support. The team balances forward-thinking approaches with strong data analysis and clear technical communication.

At Boeing, we are dedicated to safety, quality, innovation, and technical excellence. Our team designs, builds, certifies, delivers, and maintains products that provide superior safety, quality, and value. Join us in Engine Operability or Performance and help redefine what’s possible.
