Job Description:

In-Service Safety Organization is looking for an Airworthiness & Regulatory Specialist (Mid-Level) to join our team in Everett, Washington.

Are you passionate about safety and compliance? Would you like to contribute to the world’s safest transportation system?

As an investigator in the Commercial Airplanes Safety and Compliance Investigations (S&CI) team, you will have the opportunity to work independently while leading teams tasked with performing detailed Root Cause Corrective Action (RCCA) investigations related to regulatory compliance issues. This activity enables program and functional leadership to understand the systemic root causes of compliance issues and implement effective corrective actions that contain the issue and prevent recurrence. This position offers exposure to all aspects of airplane certification across the airplane lifecycle. The importance of this function can’t be over-stated as you will contribute to Boeing product safety by maintaining and restoring compliance with regulatory requirements.

Investigations typically follow the process, which provides a structured approach to investigations. Engagement with company leadership, certification experts, and functional experts from across the company make this position highly invigorating. We have a close-knit group with dedicated mentors and RCCA experts available for consultation.

Position Responsibilities:

· For any identified issue related to FAA issued Letters of Investigation, Informal or Formal Compliance Actions, Voluntary Disclosures, Self-Audit findings, and Part 25 Airworthiness Non-Compliances, the S&CI team leads the functional engineering organizations (Systems, Structures, Payloads, Propulsion) through the structured investigation process.

· We coordinate closely with functional groups, management and executives, and suppliers to ensure all stakeholders are aligned with the investigation’s status and resolution.

· We work with the functional groups within Boeing to investigate the regulatory compliance issue by identifying the problem statement, developing a comprehensive root cause investigation that leads to systemic root causes, developing containment actions, actions to prevent recurrence, and actions to verify non-recurrence.

· We coordinate closely with the Organizational Designation Authorization (ODA) to ensure the investigation write-up meets regulatory expectations.

· We partner with enterprise groups to continuously improve our processes and tools to ensure we are ready for the future and to ensure these processes are consistent with the greater Enterprise.

We value the ability to communicate complex technical issues with a large variety of audiences, to lead a group of diverse engineers and non-engineers, and to apply airplane level thinking to a variety of technical issues. As such, we are a valued resource to the broader Chief Aviation Safety Office (CASO), the programs we support, as well as executive leadership.

We also recognize that diversity is a strong component in product safety and compliance, and we recognize that a variety of different thoughts, contributions, backgrounds and opinions are necessary in order to make the safest product we can.

We enjoy a good work-life balance, although occasional overtime may be required for urgent items.

Come join the BCA S&CI team to help ensure our products remain the safest form of travel available into the future!
