Next Generation Air Dominance Assembly Manufacturing Engineer - Experienced/Senior

Boeing seeks Experienced or Senior Assembly Manufacturing Engineers to lead definition, introduction, and continuous improvement of complex assembly and coating processes for up-and-coming Proprietary programs in Berkeley, MO.

These senior roles are responsible for driving manufacturability, production reliability, cost reduction, and schedule performance across high-complexity assemblies and production lines. Level 3 focuses on technical leadership for multiple assemblies/cells and medium-to-large projects; Level 4 provides program-level technical direction, strategic planning, and leadership across complex assembles and suppliers.

• Lead definition, validation, and sustainment of assembly or coating processes for complex structures and systems (final assembly, large subassemblies, systems integration).
• Develop and approve work instructions, automated/robotic solutions, tooling/fixture designs, process flow diagrams, control plans, and FMEAs
• Lead first-article builds, production transfers, line introductions, and ramp up activities; own readiness criteria and acceptance
• Troubleshoot and resolve high-impact production issues using formal problem solving. Drive robust corrective/preventive actions
• Identify opportunities for capital equipment and automated assembly systems (robotics, automated fastening, metrology) and support the procurement, installation and qualification processes
• Lead cross-functional teams (manufacturing, quality, design, planning, supply chain) to implement DFMA, manufacturing readiness and producibility initiatives
• Mentor and develop Level 1/2 engineers; allocate engineering resources to meet program demands
• Support supplier readiness, process audits, and supplier corrective action plans for critical suppliers
• Work with cross functional teams to utilize data-driven tools (SPC, throughput analysis, process capability studies) to maintain and improve production performance

• Serve as principal technical authority for assembly manufacturing across multiple complex assemblies or a major program segment
• Establish assembly manufacturing strategy, standards, and best practices; drive long-term capability roadmaps (automation, digital manufacturing, advanced metrology)
• Lead large capital projects and complex automation deployments from concept through qualification and production sustainment
• Represent Boeing in customer and regulatory reviews related to manufacturing processes, product conformance, and certification activities
• Lead complex supplier development programs, including on-site supplier engineering, technical problem resolution, and strategic supplier partnerships
• Drive enterprise-level continuous improvement (Lean, Six Sigma), supply chain cost-to-serve reductions, and risk mitigation for production continuity
• Provide technical oversight and approval authority for critical process changes, design-for-manufacturability recommendations, and release-to-production decisions
• Coach, mentor, and develop engineering leaders; influence organizational priorities and resource planning

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology (including Manufacturing Technology), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement
• 5 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience
• Experience with process definition for assemblies: fastening, drilling, riveting, adhesive/sealant processes, systems installation, kitting, and final integration.
• Experience with tooling/fixture specification, capital equipment qualification, and production transfer.
• Proficient with formal problem solving, FMEA, control plans, SPC, and data-driven continuous improvement.
• Experience with Catia, NX, or similar CAD; tooling layout and tolerance stack-up analysis.
• This position requires the ability to obtain a US Security Clearance for which the US Government requires US Citizenship as a condition of employment. An interim and/or final U.S. Secret Clearance Post-Start is required.
• This position requires the ability to obtain Special Program Access, for which the U.S. Government requires U.S. Citizenship only.

• Level 4: 9 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience
• Deep expertise with automation (robotics, automated fasteners, torque/software controls), metrology systems, and manufacturing systems integration.
• Track record of leading large capital projects, supplier development, and interacting with certification authorities (FAA/EASA) preferred.
• Demonstrated strategic leadership, change management, and ability to influence at senior levels.
• Familiarity with Boeing systems (Enovia/3DEXPERIENCE, SAP) or equivalent PLM/ERP systems.
• Certifications in Lean, Six Sigma (Green/Black Belt), or Project Management (PMP) preferred.
• Experience with composites and metallic hybrid assemblies, automated fastening systems, and digital manufacturing tools.
