Oklahoma City, US · Full-time · $85,000 – $110,000

About this role

The Boeing Defense, Space & Security organization seeks entry-level aircraft focused Aerodynamics Engineers for the Flight Systems Capability Aerodynamics Team. Engineers will provide engineering and technical decisions for Boeing Military Aircraft including B-1B, B-2, B-52, Military Derivative Aircraft like E-7 AEW&C, E-3 AWACS, and Tankers such as KC-135, KC-767. This position is located in Oklahoma City, OK.

This Associate level role offers on-the-job training under close supervision. Assignments include learning aircraft aerodynamics analytical methods, tools like computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and wind tunnel testing. Tasks involve generating aircraft flight performance data charts and assessing stability & control characteristics for various platforms.

The team supports diverse aircraft and projects in a 100% onsite environment. Engineers assist with certification and qualification processes of aerodynamic characteristics for flight vehicles. The role requires US Citizenship for obtaining a US Security Clearance.

Opportunities exist to develop skills in aerodynamic analysis and testing. Support development of test requirements for wind tunnel, ground, and flight testing. Enhance technology readiness and improve vehicle performance while reducing cycle time and cost.
