Boom is seeking an experienced Vehicle Design Integration Engineer. In this role the Vehicle Design Integrator will be responsible for integrating complex systems and subsystems into aircraft. Candidates should have an appreciation of the equipment under development, and be able to maintain focus on integrating equipment at an aircraft level to provide an aircraft system function.

You will create the processes that enable technical discipline teams to mature designs through the aircraft development milestones. You will guide technical discipline teams through the release process, resolving design issues and ensuring adherence to Boom design standards.  By providing exceptional support to those teams, the aircraft systems and components will integrate effectively to meet applicable requirements. Your work will support the entire aircraft, enabling colleagues to produce their best designs. 

• Establish design guidelines and standards, based on industry best practices, to be used by the entire internal and external Engineering organization.
• Ensure consistent design practices by implementing design guidelines and educating users throughout the design development and release process.
• Define major integrated architectures and processes that are used to design the aircraft (e.g. Product Structure, Interface Control system, and Space Allocation systems).
• Work with the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) group to implement Engineering requirements to the 3DEXPERIENCE environment. Serve as a key manager of the aircraft digital twin. 
• Document workflows, release processes and business practices related to the management of design data.
• Evaluate aircraft-level architecture for multi-system integration in the early phases of development.
• Analyze aircraft systems (electrical, mechanical, and fluid), their interfaces and logic diagrams.
• Apply advanced technical principles, theories and concepts based on broad expertise or unique specialized knowledge.
• Make technical decisions and recommendations that are recognized as authoritative and have an important impact on extensive engineering activities. Show the relative quality of design attributes like: performance, cost, maintainability, producibility, etc.
• Participate in change review boards to evaluate change impact to interfacing systems and design attributes like: performance, cost, maintainability, producibility, etc.
• Guide development of working functional system models through 3-dimensional integration checks and best design practices. Check designs against processes and requirements.
• Act independently to determine improved methods and/or procedures to optimize technical product, cost and schedule requirements.
• Conceive and execute investigations of broad areas of design issues for which there is shared-ownership of engineering design space.
• Act as a lead source of support on issues reported by designers related to the release, quality and integration of their designs.
• Provide training, support and/or mentoring to Boom team members on how to draft, mature, and release designs using Boom processes and tools.
