Qualifications We Prefer: * Familiarity with the application of the certification objectives defined in ARP-4754 and ARP-4761 for Air Transport category airplanes. * Experience with the Seattle ACO and E-UMs from major OEMs is highly desired. * Experience developing avionics systems using Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). * Experience with ARINC standards such as ARINC 429, ARINC 664 and ARINC 661. ## Description Come join the Boeing Platforms department engineering team as a Principal Systems Engineer with focus on ARP-4754 Systems Certification. Our team of engineers design state-of-the-art, industry-leading flight displays for the flight decks of large commercial airplanes, such as the Boeing 787. As a Certification Focal in our department, you will be responsible for the coordination of program-level certification activities, with primary emphasis on systems certification, overseeing the development of program plans to support certification objectives, coordination of DA reviews, readiness reviews, and directly supporting FAA/EASA Certification Compliance Finders (ODA / TCRs / DERs / E-UMs). What You Will Do: * Be the primary interface with external customers and Certification Compliance Finders in support of systems certification activities, such as certification documents and audit certification support. * Coordinate certification activities, including project management for bidding, estimating, tracking and reporting on technical scope, cost and schedule. Proactively identify and manage risk associated with the certification aspects of displays programs. * Be the primary point of contact for the project team for questions against process, plans, standards, and policies. Has advanced knowledge of systems certification. * Perform technical coordination with various teams, including, but not limited to, customers (internal and external), systems engineers, hardware engineers, software engineers, partner suppliers, safety engineers, and program managers. Understands dependencies between domains and related impacts. * Demonstrate good judgement by quickly assessing the cost, benefit and risks of decisions, and apply critical thinking and sound logic to make well-informed decisions. Problems encountered are difficult and often complex and undefined and impact multiple domains. Has broad ownership of tasks, of which may have significant impact on the project. * Present information effectively to external and internal leaders of varying levels and anticipate possible questions. * Mentor other team members and help them develop in areas such as certification, systems engineering, software engineering and process compliance. Champion creating training materials and opportunities for knowledge transfer. * May assist with other systems engineering team activities when certification work is reduced at certain periods during the development life cycle; systems engineering team activities may include requirements capture, system design and modeling, integrating with hardware and software components, system validation and verification. * Up to 25% travel as needed. ## Related Videos - [Model Based Systems Engineering in an Agile Product Development Process](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/68-model-based-systems-engineering-in-an-agile-product-development-process) - [Crew Management System for Airlines: Plan duties for pilots & flight attendants worldwide](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1444-crew-management-system-for-airlines-plan-duties-for-pilots-flight-attendants-worldwide) - [AI Agents & Agentic AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2017-ai-agents-agentic-ai) - [How To Test A Ball of Mud](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/173-how-to-test-a-ball-of-mud) - [Agile work at CARIAD – Creating a customer web application for controlling the vehicle ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/200-agile-work-at-cariad-creating-a-customer-web-application-for-controlling-the-vehicle) - [Physical AI: The Era of Intelligent Machines](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100141-physical-ai-the-era-of-intelligent-machines) ## Related Articles - [How Engineering Hubs Build Visibility at Developer Conferences like WeAreDevelopers World Congress](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/720-how-engineering-hubs-build-visibility-at-developer-conferences-like-wearedevelopers-world-congress) - [Why Attend a Developer Event in 2026?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/688-why-attend-a-developer-event-in-2026) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [What Makes WeAreDevelopers World Congress Different From Every Other Tech Event?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/701-what-makes-wearedevelopers-world-congress-different-from-every-other-tech-event) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology)
