About the role
Company
The Boeing Company
Boeing Test & Evaluation (BT&E) is looking for a Mid-Level Structural Analysis Engineer to support the Environmental Test Design Engineering team in Berkeley, MO.
The primary focus of this position is to support St. Louis Environmental Lab testing for local Boeing Defense & Space (BDS) programs. The design team works in partnership with the lab test teams to provide the designs and hardware needed to complete testing. Test capabilities within the Environmental labs include vibrational/structural dynamics, acoustic, airflow systems, fuel flow systems, high temperature flow impingement, and environmental control chambers, where temperature, humidity, and pressure are varied.
As a structural analysis engineer, you will be responsible for the structural analysis and verification of test fixtures, support structures, and test-article modifications used in environmental test programs. You will perform strength and fatigue analyses of metallic and composite structural components and document analysis results. Our engineers collaborate closely across multiple technical disciplines and organizations to develop integrated solutions for complex engineering challenges. You will work closely with mechanical design, test, and facility teams to ensure test hardware meets load, vibration, thermal, and safety requirements.
Boeing St. Louis is building the future ‒ creating innovative solutions that will define the next generation of aerospace. As part of this team, you will have the opportunity to work on the latest military aircraft and weapons programs such as T-7A, F-15, F/A-18, MQ-25, JDAM, SDB, in addition to Phantom Works proprietary efforts.
