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 Global Services (BGS) is currently seeking an Associate or Mid-Level Mechanical Design Engineer to join the Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (GSE) engineering design team in Hazelwood, MO supporting Boeing Phantom Works and Air Dominance Military Programs.
This team is responsible for creating a wide range of products to support military aircraft maintenance activity and ground operations. Basic Ground Support Equipment product examples include aircraft slings, engine installation equipment, landing gear installation equipment, handling dollies, and a variety of subsystems component installation equipment. Additional GSE products include protective covers and remove before flight gear. Mechanical Ground Support Equipment Design is a niche within the aerospace industry that offers mechanical engineers countless opportunities to learn about and work with most aircraft systems without being tied to one specific area. Candidates proficient and interested in mechanical device creation and development should apply.
The candidate selected for this position will mature existing design concepts into deliverable products and have opportunities to develop mechanical products from scratch. The work environment is an office setting, collocated with other mechanical design engineers. Occasional domestic travel to support fabrication, assembly and test of new products may be required.
