Job Description
At Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better place. We're committed to fostering an environment for every teammate that's welcoming, respectful and inclusive, with great opportunity for professional growth. Find your future with us.
The Boeing Company is seeking an Aerodynamic Test & Evaluation Engineer (TE) to join our team in Ridley Park, PA. This role is essential within the wind tunnel aerodynamic test engineering field. As a TE, you will be part of the Ridley Park Aero Test team within Boeing Test and Evaluation (BT&E), focusing on wind tunnel test engineering. The Aero Test team conducts wind tunnel tests for all Boeing divisions, including Boeing Commercial Aircraft (BCA) and Boeing Defense, Space and Security (BDS), utilizing both Boeing-owned and external wind tunnel facilities.
As a TE, you will play a crucial role in the design, planning, and coordination of wind tunnel test efforts. Each test will have at least one TE assigned, depending on its complexity. You will collaborate closely with the operations team and program partners to ensure that tests are conducted effectively, efficiently, and safely, meeting the requirements of our business partners.
Candidates should possess a strong understanding of aerodynamic concepts and applications, including test techniques and basic wind tunnel operations. Excellent communication skills, teamwork, and adaptability to changing requirements are essential. Given that a significant portion of wind tunnel testing occurs in the research and development sector, flexibility and a quick response capability are critical. Strong documentation skills are also necessary to maintain proper configuration control and to record troubleshooting processes.
The Ridley Park Aero Test organization oversees the Boeing V/STOL Wind Tunnel (BVWT) and supports testing at various wind tunnel facilities worldwide. While you will support BVWT, there will also be opportunities to assist at remote test facilities, requiring travel. This role involves approximately 25% travel throughout the year, with some tests lasting over 30 days. Travel may be initiated with little or no notice, and TEs may work non-standard shifts based on test and facility schedules.
Our teams are currently hiring for a broad range of experience levels including Associate and Mid-Level Aerodynamic Test & Evaluation Engineers.
