About this role

The Engineering Technology & Innovation (ET&I) organization is looking for a Propulsion Engineer to join the Energy and Propulsion team. Our teams are currently hiring for a broad range of experience levels including Mid-Level and Senior Level Propulsion Engineers. The ET&I Energy and Propulsion team drives the future of aerospace by designing and integrating cutting-edge propulsion systems through all speed regimes: subsonic to hypersonic.

In this role, you’ll develop next-generation air vehicles, lead hands-on testing and analysis, collaborate with suppliers, and mentor emerging engineers. As part of Boeing Technology Innovation, you'll work across the Boeing Enterprise building connections with others at domestic and international sites. This position involves pushing the state-of-the-art in propulsion systems for a variety of customers.

You will define, coordinate, and control functional and physical interfaces between the propulsion system and the vehicle. Responsibilities include configuring propulsion sub-systems, performing testing, analysis, modeling, and simulation to predict and validate system performance. Additional duties encompass vendor management and developing concepts for future propulsion systems.

Join the team to shape what's next in aerospace propulsion. The role offers opportunities to work independently under direction from Subject Matter Experts and mentor early career engineers. Boeing is committed to fostering a welcoming, respectful, and inclusive environment with great opportunity for professional growth.
