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.

Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) is seeking Mission Systems Integration Engineers, in St. Louis, MO, supporting a Phantom Works Fixed Wing Proprietary Program. You will be joining a fast-paced Phantom Works program where you will be responsible for developing and integrating complex, highly integrated, Sensor Systems, Communications Systems, and Weapon Systems. Our team focuses on high‑reliability, real‑time systems that fuse IR, RF, and offboard data to enable safe, decisive mission outcomes.

We are seeking a Senior Level Mission Systems Engineer with strong expertise in multi‑sensor data fusion across infrared (IR) and radio frequency (RF) domains and experience combining onboard and offboard data sources. The engineer will define fusion architectures, design and implement algorithms, and lead system integration and verification activities. This role will collaborate with sensor, software, and systems engineering teams to deliver operationally relevant fused tracks and sensor products.

The day-to-day activities of this position will be a combination of traditional design engineering, collaborating with cross-functional peers, and presenting technical challenges and solutions to leadership. Frequent interaction with program leadership, customers, and industry partners during critical design phases will be key elements of this position. This position will provide the candidate an opportunity to develop their engineering skills with potential growth into a leadership role. 

Position Responsibilities:

  • Define system and interface requirements for multi sensor fusion of IR and RF domains and for integration of onboard and offboard data sources (e.g., datalinks, distributed sensors).

  • Architect and specify fusion solutions (architecture diagrams, data flows, latency/bandwidth budgets, timing, and synchronization).

  • Design, prototype, and evaluate multi sensor fusion algorithms (track association, data association, state estimation, sensor registration, and confidence/uncertainty management).

  • Develop simulation and test plans; lead verification, validation, and performance characterization in lab and field environments.

  • Define and enforce data models, metadata, and interfaces (e.g., message formats, time stamping, coordinate frames).

  • Work with software and hardware teams to integrate algorithms into real time processors and embedded platforms.

  • Analyze and mitigate failure modes, perform sensitivity and robustness analyses, and specify required fault detection and recovery behavior.

  • Document design decisions, validation results, and provide technical input for safety, certification, and compliance artifacts.

  • Communicate results and tradeoffs to stakeholders and support mission-level operational assessments and user demonstrations.

  • Lead end to end algorithm lifecycle activities: requirements → design → prototyping → verification → optimization → deployment and maintenance.

  • Translate mission and system-level requirements into algorithmic performance metrics (e.g., detection probability, false alarm rate, track continuity, latency, computational load).

  • Implement robust data association and track management strategies that handle clutter, intermittent detections, varying update rates, and biased or misregistered sensors.

  • Design methods for sensor registration, coordinate frame transforms, bias estimation, and online calibration to maintain long term fusion accuracy.

  • Quantify uncertainty and confidence in fused outputs; design metadata and scoring (e.g., covariance estimates, association probabilities) to inform downstream decision systems and operators.

This position is expected to be 100% onsite.  The selected candidate will be required to work onsite at one of the listed location options.

This position requires the ability to obtain a US Secret Security Clearance for which the US Government requires US Citizenship.  

  • A final U.S. Secret Clearance Post is required.

This position requires ability to obtain program access, for which the U.S. Government requires U.S. Citizenship only.
