Job Description Qualifications:

Be part of the team that connects rigorous technical design to the future of air travel.

The Payloads organization within Boeing Commercial Aircraft is seeking a Design Engineer (M, F, D) (Associate) to join the 787 Interior Monuments team in Hamburg, Germany.

The Payloads organization is responsible for everything you see when you fly; and a lot that you don’t: the interior of the airplane, along with the lavatories, galleys, cargo compartments, exterior markings, associated systems, and cabin safety all make up Payloads. We are how our airline customers fulfill their mission and represent their brand. 

Our organization is a fast-paced, dynamic environment, which pulls from many engineering backgrounds. A customer introduction represents the unique configuration details for the first airplane implementation of a customer’s order block. Galley and BFE Engineers are responsible for managing the integration of multiple development customer intro programs into Boeing aircraft by implementation, overseeing supplier designs, integration, certification, and delivery of your assigned programs to ensure all customer, regulatory, and Boeing requirements are met.

The selected candidate will work on complex Galley and BFE Customer Introductions as well as production support, collaborating with internal and external technical experts, Cross-Functional Program Leaders and Executives, and supplier management. You will establish technical direction, integrated and recover schedules, and priority for assigned projects.

The selected candidate will have a statement of work that spans the customer introduction lifecycle: leading the upfront technical definition, feasibility studies, supporting configuration development, resolving cross-commodity and interface design issues, validating and verifying design requirements, and identifying and managing risks.

Using your business acumen, desire for challenging projects, and ability to lead through ambiguity, you will be able to combine the expertise and resources of the Interiors organization to certify and deliver the best interior products within the industry. Airline Customers and BFE and Galley Suppliers are located around the globe, requiring flexibility to support meetings at any time, as well as the need for travel, domestically and internationally.

Position Responsibilities:

  • Develops, integrates, and documents interior payload system requirements to establish the system design.
