The Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) organization is seeking a Senior Flight Hardware Electronic Design & Analysis Engineer to join the Design Engineering Team in Huntsville, AL on the Patriot Advanced Capability (PAC-3) missile-defense program.

The Design Engineering team is responsible for designing RADAR seeker upgrades and next generation concepts, as well as supporting production and special test equipment design. Boeing has a multi-year contract to develop, test, and manufacture the PAC-3 RADAR seeker. This program encompasses concurrent design, test, and manufacturing as new upgrades to this complex electro-mechanical assembly are incorporated into production. This long-term program is rapidly growing due to design updates and production growth.

As the Senior Flight Hardware Electronic Design & Analysis Engineer for the PAC-3 program, you will be responsible for designing, testing and integrating digital and RF hardware focused on RADAR and Missile technologies. You will be required to interpret product requirements and developing complex, detailed system designs based on these requirements that must operate in harsh flight environments. Additionally, you will have hands-on hardware integration and test tasks, being hands-on in the lab environment with hardware such as commercial test equipment, test sets, custom electronics (simple to very complex), printed circuit boards (PCBs), hi-voltage power supply units, and seeker subsystems/systems.
