About this role

Boeing Brazil seeks a Mid-Career Flight Controls Engineer reporting to the Flight Control Engineering Manager. Accomplished, self-motivated engineers will design, analyze, test, and certify flight control laws systems for large commercial aircraft. Teams support production, fleet operations, and develop advanced technology for next-generation airliners to enhance capability, efficiency, and safety.

Verify flight control requirements through simulation and analytical methods. Execute system- and component-level validation including linear analyses for performance, robustness, rigid-body modes, and flexible modes. Perform non-linear testing across integration levels like software-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop, iron bird, and pilot-in-the-loop simulators covering nominal operations, failures, and disturbances.

Resolve airplane-level requirements into system and functional levels using time- and cost-efficient validation methods. Analyze rejections, ground/flight test squawks, and data for design validation and certification. Investigate problem reports for timely resolution and participate in creating certification artifacts like system safety analyses, FMEA, and fault trees.

Support production by resolving prototype issues at Boeing and supplier facilities, ensuring readiness for milestones like power-on, system tests, and first flight. Coordinate cross-functionally with manufacturing, avionics, crew-ops, aerodynamics, suppliers, airlines, and regulators. This hybrid position requires some onsite work with potential for future changes.
