About this role

The Boeing KC-46 Pegasus is the USAF’s new aerial refueling tanker aircraft, designed to support multi-role missions including refueling, cargo/passenger transport, and medevac airlift. As a mission systems avionics engineer, you will support engineering design, integration, test, certification, and hardware/software management for assigned subsystems.

Day-to-day responsibilities include coordinating system-level integration, developing test plans and procedures, and executing critical tests to validate performance against requirements. You will also provide troubleshooting support for production labs and aircraft and conduct technical issue investigations with Root Cause and Corrective Actions (RCCAs).

This role works closely with suppliers, Boeing software team members, and specialty engineering Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) focusing on safety, electromagnetic emissions, and cybersecurity. The KC-46 is a military commercial derivative based on the Boeing 767-2C, modified per USAF specifications for aerial refueling using Hose & Drogue or Boom systems.

Our teams are hiring for a broad range of experience levels, offering opportunities to support the entire lifecycle from proposal through in-service support. You will gather information for proposal development and conduct trade studies for future upgrades and new business.
