About this role

Boeing is looking for an Experienced/Senior Aerodynamics Engineer to support BDS Phantom Works projects in Berkeley, MO. The position encompasses a wide range of leadership and execution responsibilities. Key areas include aerodynamic design, conceptual aircraft design optimization, aero-performance analysis, aerodynamic database development, and wind tunnel testing.

The role involves aero-performance analysis of tactical aircraft configurations and aerodynamic design and analysis of flight vehicles. Engineers will handle wind tunnel test planning, execution, data analysis, and post-test documentation. They will also develop aerodynamic databases from wind tunnel, CFD, and flight test data.

Aerodynamic databases will be integrated into 6 degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) simulation tools. The position requires leading trade studies, design space explorations, and vehicle optimization studies. Work occurs in a collaborative environment supporting advanced aerospace projects.

Opportunities include applying domain knowledge of fixed-wing tactical aircraft and advanced methods like Multidisciplinary Design, Analysis, and Optimization (MDAO). Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, FORTRAN, Matlab, C, and C++ is valued. The role supports professional growth in aerodynamic analysis principles and tools.

Successful candidates must satisfy the Company's Conflict of Interest (COI) assessment process. Boeing maintains a Drug Free Workplace with post-offer testing for marijuana, cocaine, and opioids. Active Secret clearance is preferred.
