The flight controls team is currently engaged in the challenging and exciting work of bringing new derivative airplanes into service as well as getting prepared to create the more capable, more efficient and even safer airliners of the future. This requisition is for multiple positions in multiple flight control disciplines performing many of the tasks listed below.

These positions are located in Everett, Washington and are expected to be 100% onsite.

Position Responsibilities:

• Lead the resolution of airplane level requirements into system level requirements and system level requirements into component requirements with time and cost-efficient validation methods.
• Lead the development of system and subsystem architecture alternatives to meet requirements and objectives.
• Lead the analysis and comparison of alternatives (trade study) to rapidly converge on preferred configurations including defining and executing system simulations and development test programs.
• Lead system, component and detail design efforts with thorough documentation within schedule and cost constraints to create error free, readily manufactured system and component specifications and drawings.
• Lead system level and component level validation analysis and testing, including: plan creation; consultation regarding iron bird, system and component test rigs; test monitoring; analysis and test report authoring; supplier test report review and approval; test failure analysis; and test failure mitigation.
• Lead the development of GNC and mathematical tools and techniques and aids in developing Technology roadmaps.
• Lead system, component and detail certification efforts, including: creation of required certification artifacts, such as, system safety analysis, failure modes and effects analysis, and fault tree analysis; confirming and demonstrating traceability to regulatory requirements; and resolution of regulation conflicts.
• Lead the support of initial production efforts including: timely resolution of prototype and first build problems at Boeing and supplier manufacturing facilities; ensuring readiness for production start-up milestones, such as, power-on, system gauntlet, system functional test, ground test and first flight; analysis and resolution of rejections and ground/flight test squawks; and ground/flight test data review for design validation and certification compliance.
• Lead the support of on-going production efforts including: timely resolution of build problems at Boeing and supplier manufacturing facilities; identifying and implementing design improvements to build accuracy, build rate, and production line safety; and timely resolution of rejections, functional test failures and flight squawks.
