Job Description
At Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better
place. From the seabed to outer space, you can contribute to work
that matters with a company where diversity, equity and inclusion
are shared values. 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.
The Flight Management System (FMS) is a fundamental component of a
modern transport airplanes. An FMS is a specialized computer system
that automates a wide variety of in-flight tasks, reducing the
workload on the flight crew to the point that modern transport
aircraft no longer need to carry flight engineers or navigators.
The FMS provides and/or automates Flight Planning, Datalink,
Guidance, Navigation, Performance and Thrust Management
functions.
As an FMS specialist, you will work under the guidance of
experienced engineers to understand and operate the FMS, review and
develop FMS functional and performance requirements, test, verify &
validate the FMS, document, review and resolve system issues/bugs,
conduct re-tests, understand and identify potential safety issues,
non-conformances, and directly support and participate in
development, test and certification activities.
You can expect to interface with engineers from all FMS functions,
engineers in multiple disciplines such as hardware, software,
interfacing airplane systems such as airplane displays, flight
control computers, auto throttle, communications management
(HF/VHF/SATCOM), navigation systems (GPS, inertial, radio), Engine
Controls, Stall Management, Weather Radar, Ground Proximity Warning
System and even the in-flight entertainment system!
You will work directly with a global, multicultural team of
engineers as well as pilots, airline customers, suppliers,
regulators, internal stakeholders such as lab operations, flight
operations, logistics, financial operations, features strategy,
various business units and leadership for all Boeing commercial and
military airplane programs.
You will conduct testing at Boeing airplane systems laboratories
which house airplane simulators as well as at Boeing Field to
support flight tests. Domestic and international travel may be
required to support activities such as airplane customer visits,
airshows and flight tests. You may even be asked to support exotic
activities such as flight tests to the Polar Regions and to remote
locations anywhere in the world.
On the FMS team, we believe the best way to learn about the FMS is
to interact with and operate it. The Flight Management System is
the primary interface of the crew with cockpit systems in order to
perform its mission. Therefore, to develop and test the system
means to perform pilot operations, think like a pilot, test in our
virtual simulators, on our system test benches, airplane simulators
and participate in flight tests where you can see and "feel" the
FMS fly the airplane. To that effect, we strongly emphasize that
persons starting on our team begin their journey in this area. We
are confident in our ability to provide career experiences that
will keep you excited and make you want to be an FMS
specialist!
