Job DescriptionAt Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better place. From the seabed to outer space, you can contribute to work that matters with a company where diversity, equity and inclusion are shared values. 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 Space & Launch team is seeking an Experienced Communications and Networks System Engineer (Level 3) for development projects in in El Segundo, CA or Seal Beach, CA. The Space and Launch Team creates the next generation products and services for the BDS business unit. We work with proprietary customers in the development of the next-generation technologies in space. This position focuses on system analysis involving production of communications capacity and availability analysis results, as well as the design of constellations to support proprietary missions. Our group works all facets of engineering from technology investment, concept development, proposal writing, requirements and design, build, integration, test, and demonstration of products in their relevant environments. You will participate in all phases of the system development life cycle, including concept of operations (ConOps) development, requirements development, analysis and decomposition, software and hardware system design, algorithm design, risk management, integration, test and operations.The candidate will function as a Communication Systems Performance Analyst either assigned as a technical leader in business development or on an active program. This job is a broad customer-oriented position that entails building, executing, and/or presenting system level analysis for communication systems. The work is often requirements focused and is critical at all stages of program development and execution (i.e. from new business until operations support). Analysis may be general and scheduled (e.g. link analysis, or capacity analysis using existing tools and processes to support design reviews or other program milestones) or it may be to support special needs of individual programs requiring problem definition, problem solving, and (critically) coordination within the system engineering team to establish and justify the best process to model and analyze the situation.Position Responsibilities:
- Interfacing with other system engineers to define and update measures of effectiveness to support system level trades
- Maintaining system level budgets that perform allocation of system requirements and characterize sensitivity to changes in system performance across subsystems
- User and/or developing software tools to enable scheduling of tasks and apportionment of resources at a constellation level for proliferated systems of satellites
- Using and/or developing software tools to enable characterization of system performance through analysis of capacity or availability
- Employing a system level mindset in understanding requirements and performance, enabling the creation of models that are of sufficient complexity for the situation
- Bachelor's, Master's or Doctorate of Science degree from an accredited course of study, in engineering, computer science, mathematics, or physics
- 3+ years of systems engineering experience involving system requirements, functional decomposition and allocation, integrated design, analysis, and verification
- 3+ years of experience with digital communications systems design and analysis (including link analysis, and familiarity with modulation and coding)
- 3+ years of experience in customer requirements development, system requirements, and CONOPs development
- 3+ years of experience with at least one high level software development language (e.g. MATLAB, Python, C)
- Familiarity with orbit and/or constellation design
- Experience simulating satellite digital communications systems link effects (weather, nonlinear amplifiers, interference from spectral reuse, modeling performance of phased array antennas, etc.)
- Experience with MATLAB or Python, and C or Java
