Boeing Phantom Works is seeking an experienced Low Observable (LO) Propulsion Integration Engineer to lead LO integration of propulsion systems for advanced stealth aircraft programs. The ideal candidate will possess deep technical expertise in propulsion integration, LO design principles, and systems engineering, and will work across multidisciplinary teams to ensure propulsion system performance while maintaining stringent signature, thermal, and structural requirements.
Position Responsibilities:

• LO propulsion integration activities for advanced platforms across concept, design, test, and qualification phases
• Develop and validate propulsion system LO architectures that meet performance, LO signature, and thermal management requirements
• Conduct trade studies, signature modeling, and sensitivity analyses for inlet, nozzle, and exhaust treatments
• Interface with aerodynamicists, structures, materials, thermal management, and signature engineering teams to ensure cohesive design solutions
• Define requirements, perform risk assessments, and establish verification/validation plans for propulsion integration items
• Support hardware design reviews (PDR/CDR), test planning, and ground/flight test execution to verify LO and propulsion performance
• Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership within the LO discipline
• Produce and review technical documentation, specifications, and interface control documents (ICDs)
