Position Description
This position will assist and participate in large-scale aircraft manufacturing and fabrication prototypes necessary to enable future airplane production systems. The individual in this position will be expected to architect and demonstrate real time dynamic aircraft manufacturing and aircraft part fabrication processes and infrastructure, as well as process control and material handling solutions to Boeing's most challenging and valuable production system issues. The integrated nature of these development and prototyping efforts requires thorough experience of Industrial Monitoring and Control Systems, Human-Machine Interfaces, large-scale production and fabrication automation architectures, mechanisms and algorithms, Statistical Process Control and a demonstrated capacity to quickly develop operational understanding of additional areas as needed. The pace of these efforts will require the individual in this position to personally develop automated and robotic aircraft manufacturing and fabrication technical solutions while simultaneously providing strong technical leadership to others engaged in the effort. Particular areas of interest include distributed control systems, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, human-machine interfaces, multi-machine automation and control, automated dynamic delivery of work instructions and materials, real-time decision making with multi-sensory network inputs, and real-time visioning and inspection systems.
Competencies
General
[ + ] Collaboration
Generally works effectively and cooperatively with work group members, direct supervisor, and occasionally members of others work groups; establishes and maintains good working relationships by helping people feel valued, appreciated, and included in discussions. Places higher priority on team and/or organization goals than on own goals. Normally offers to help work group members, direct supervisor, and occasionally members of others work groups when they need assistance.
[ + ] Communication
Generally clarifies purpose and importance; stresses major points; follows a logical sequence. Usually keeps the audience engaged through use of techniques such as analogies, illustrations, humor, an appealing style, body language, and voice inflection. Frames the message in line with audience experience, background, and expectations; uses terms, examples, and analogies that are meaningful to the audience. Generally seeks input from audience; checks understanding; presents message in different ways to enhance understanding. Uses syntax, pace, volume, diction, and mechanics appropriate to the media being used. Accurately interprets messages from others and responds appropriately.
[ + ] Continuous Learning
Usually seeks and uses feedback from own work group members, direct supervisor, and occasionally members of others work groups and other sources of information to identify appropriate areas for learning. Generally identifies and participates in appropriate learning activities (e.g., courses, reading, self-study, coaching, experiential learning) that help fulfill learning needs. Participates in learning activities in a way that makes the most of the learning experience (e.g., takes notes, asks questions, critically analyzes information, keeps on-the-job application in mind, does required tasks). Puts new knowledge, understanding, or skill to practical use on the job; furthers learning through trial and error. Occasionally places self in unfamiliar or uncomfortable situations in order to ask questions and learn.
[ + ] Innovation
Generally identifies assumptions in the way problems or situations of moderate scope and complexity are defined or presented. Sees alternative ways to view or define problems; is not constrained by the thoughts or approaches of work group members or inter-organizational employees. Generally draws upon multiple and diverse sources (individuals, disciplines, bodies of knowledge) for ideas and inspiration. Combines ideas in unique ways or makes connections between disparate ideas; explores different lines of thought. Views situations from multiple perspectives; brainstorms multiple approaches/solutions. Examines some potential solutions and evaluates each before accepting any; targets important areas for innovation and develops solutions that address meaningful issues in own and other work areas.
Technical
[ + ] Auto Plan, Rsn, Guide and Nav
General knowledge of methodologies, algorithms and architectures governing the control of autonomous agents from low-level guidance and navigation to high-level mission planning and replanning.
[ + ] Intel Agents and Architectures
General ability to design and develop software architectures and programs that are capable of acting as an autonomous or semi-autonomous entity to carry out a specified function or achieve a specified goal. General knowledge of the structure, capabilities and limitations of different types of agents (e.g. reflexive, model-based, goal-based, learning).
[ + ] Intel Human - Cptr Interaction
General ability to research methodologies and process for designing interfaces, implementing interfaces, developing descriptive and predictive models and theories of interaction and developing new interfaces and interaction techniques.
[ + ] Robotics
General ability to research distributed control, sensory data, image processing and fusion, advanced control schemes, high fidelity world perception modeling of systems and man-machine interfaces. General ability to research robot kinematics and dynamics, robot vision and navigation, design control structures for robot systems and manufacturing systems, artificial intelligence systems such as expert systems, neural networks and fuzzy logic for robotics applications, computer architectures and applications for automated and man/machine systems.
Basic Qualifications For Consideration
Do you have experience in at least one of the following areas: robotics, automation, mechatronics, motion control systems or intelligent systems?
Typical Education/Experience
Technical bachelor's degree and typically 2 or more years' related work experience or a Master's degree or an equivalent combination of education and experience. A technical degree is defined as any four year degree, or greater, in a mathematic, scientific or information technology field of study.
