The International Space Station (ISS) Program is seeking a mid-level Electromagnetic Effects (EME) engineer. The position may also be assigned to support EME tasks on other Boeing programs and Projects as it is appropriate. Develops and validates requirements for various electromagnetic systems and components. Develops and validates electromagnetic requirements for electrical\electronic systems, mechanical systems, interconnects and structures. Develops architectures to integrate systems and components into higher level systems and platforms. Performs trade studies, modeling, simulation and other forms of analysis to predict component, interconnects and system performance and to optimize design around established requirements. Defines and conducts tests to validate performance of designs to requirements. Manages appropriate aspects of supplier and partner performance to ensure compliance to requirements. Provides support to products throughout their lifecycle by developing root-cause analysis of anomalies and other engineering support as requested. Supports project management by providing work statement, budget, schedule and other required inputs and by reporting project status. Writes appropriate sections of proposals to support development of new business. Works under general direction.
Competencies
General/Leadership
[ + ] Collaboration
Consistently works effectively and cooperatively with team members and fellow project team leaders, other employees and external customers. Establishes and maintains good working relationships by actively involving less experienced employees and/or other project team leaders and external customers and helping them feel valued, appreciated, and included in discussions. Places higher priority on team and organization goals than on own goals. Offers to provide assistance and/or project team leadership to other teams and/or employees when doing so would benefit the organization.
[ + ] Continuous Improvement
Consistently and proactively reviews complex and/or specialized processes to identify gaps between requirements and current outputs within own work group, throughout the organization, and with external customers. Identifies potential conditions that contribute to gaps or key variances; explores complex relationships between conditions and effects; distinguishes causes from symptoms and identifies primary causes. Consistently and proactively generates ideas for solutions; analyzes the effect or impact of each solution; selects appropriate solutions; tests solutions; and gathers feedback from fellow project leads, internal employees and external customers on effectiveness. Reviews impact on baseline measures and modifies solutions as appropriate to ensure effectiveness.
[ + ] Innovation
Consistently identifies implicit assumptions in the way complex problems or situations are defined or presented. Sees alternative ways to view or define problems; is not constrained by the thoughts or approaches of other project leads, internal employees or external customers. Consistently draws upon multiple and diverse sources (individuals, disciplines, bodies of knowledge) for ideas and inspiration. Combines ideas in unique ways or makes connections between disparate ideas; explores different lines of thought; views situations from multiple perspectives; brainstorms multiple approaches/solutions. Examines numerous potential solutions and evaluates each before accepting any. Targets important areas for innovation and develops solutions that address meaningful issues in own work areas and thought the organization.
Technical
[ + ] EM Modeling and Analysis
Extensive and specialized knowledge of electromagnetic theory and advanced mathematics to develop and apply analytic tools to model and analyze electromagnetic aspects of systems and components. Knowledge of software development tools and techniques; numerical computation; model development; analysis techniques, processes, methods, and tools; optimization techniques; and post-processing and interpretation of resulting data.
[ + ] EM Verification & Validation
Extensive and specialized knowledge of electromagnetic theory and requirements used to review, interpret, and integrate technical data (such as design details, test results, and analysis) from internal and external sources to verify product performance and validate that requirements are adequate.
Education and/or Experience
Bachelor, Master or Doctorate of Science degree from an accredited course of study in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics or chemistry and typically 9 to 13 years experience in an engineering classification or either a Master's degree with 7 to 11 years experience or a PhD degree with 4 to 8 years experience in an engineering classification. ABET is the preferred, although not required, accreditation standard.
