The Boeing Product & Services Safety (P&SS) organization is seeking a System Safety Engineer to support the Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) In-Service Safety Team within the Enterprise Safety Mission Assurance Division in Everett, WA.

This role provides insight into all aspects of airplane design and operation, focusing on the safety of in-service products. As a System Safety Engineer, you will have the opportunity to work independently, lead teams tasked in assessing potential safety issues, and make recommendations for product safety decisions.

Your work will support program and functional leaders in making informed safety decisions and ensuring the continued operational safety of the commercial fleet.

Evaluating potential safety issues involves examining the airplane design's intended performance, published operational and maintenance guidance, and aspects related to human factors and the human/machine interface. You'll regularly interact with the Air Safety Investigation group, quality teams, certification experts, and other specialists across the company, making the role dynamic and engaging. Our close-knit team, supported by dedicated advisors and mentors, fosters a collaborative environment that enhances teamwork and professional growth.
