Space-age careers at Boeing PLASMA PHYSICS SEATTLE AREA Experimental physicist with Ph.D. in physics for the staff of the Plasma Physics Laboratory, Boeing Scientific Research Labora- tories, to conduct studies in the field of Basic Experimental Micro Wave Plasma Physics, Basic Transport Properties of Plasmas and in Theoretical and Experimental Quantum Plasma Physics. OPERATIONS & WEAPONS SYSTEMS ANALYSIS WICHITA M.S. or Ph.D. in math, physics, electrical or aeronautical engi- neering to obtain data on the anticipated operational environment of the devices under study by Advanced Design Staff. Devise analytical models of procedures describing operation of the de- vices in order to estimate the operational utility of same under study. Studies compare Advanced Design products with other companies and demonstrate anticipated utility to the customer. ELECTRONICS-TELEMETRY SEATTLEAREA This year, engineering and science alumni will find more challenging and rewarding careers than ever at Boeing. Advanced nzissile and space-age programs are expanding, and the proportion of engineers and scientists to Boeing's total employment is growing steadily. Boeing programs include the Dyna-Soar boost-glide vehicle, Minuteman solid-propellant ICBM, BOMARC defense missile system, B-52G missile bomber, KC-135 jet tanker-transport, the Boeing 707 jetliner, and lunar, orbital and interplanetary systems and advanced research projects. A few of the many immediate openings are listed below: ADVANCED CONFIGURATION DESIGN WICHITA AREA M.S. or Ph.D. in A.E. to create configuration of new vehicles pro- posed by potential military or civilian customers. Creative design of vehicles based on general parameters of missions (payload, performance, etc.). In addition to configuration, special features such as handling payload (i.e., cargo, passengers) and comparison with competitors' proposals are investigated. INFRARED SEATTLE AREA Electrical engineer or physicist with advanced degree to set-up and direct an Infrared System Group involved in: (1) Studies and analyses of infrared systems, techniques and phenomena, (2) Definition of models and parametric relationships, and (3) Synthesis of advanced infrared sub-systems (search, track, termi- nal guidance, mapping, surveillance, and scientific instrumenta- tion) for integration into larger systems. ELECTRONICS-RELIABILITY SEATTLE AREA Electrical engineer with B.S. degree minimum (graduate work or equivalent experience desired) to organize and manage reli- ability programs; to establish requirements, evaluate reliability data and initiate corrective action for missile components and tactical test equipment. ELECTRONICS-DIGITAL COMPUTER SEATTLE AREA Engineers with advanced E.E. degree or particularly applicable experience to design and integrate digital computers in advanced military and space programs, involving internal logic design of the computers and the external organization of the associated equipment used in the guidance and control system. ENGINEERING ANALYSIS & PROGRAMMING SEATTLE Mathematicians or engineers with B.S. to Ph.D. degrees to work in engineering computing and analysis areas. Analysis positions involve correlation and conversion matrix studies, trajectory simulation programs, error analysis and simulation studies and many others. Computing positions involve programming a wide variety of complex engineering problems to be solved with high- speed electronic data processing machines--digital and analog. 6 B.S.E.E. with good knowledge of telemetry systems, transducers, and systems providing inputs into telemetry systems, to work on telemetry systems integration. This requires ability to represent the company in meetings with the customers and associate contractors. * ELECTRO-MAGNETICS SEATTLE AREA Ph.D. in electrical engineering or physics to direct and partici- pate in the work of a research group engaged in the theoretical and experimental investigation of the propagation and reflection of electro-magnetic waves in the presence of a plasma. WELDING ENGINEERING SEATTLE AREA Engineers with degree in Met.E., Mech.E., E.E. or equivalent, to maintain weld equipment, design tools, develop techniques and direct proper use of this equipment, and establish processes for all types of welds used in the unit, including weld settings for qualification programs. PERFORMANCE & STABILITY & CONTROL ANALYSIS SEATTLE AREA Aeronautical engineers at B.S. and M.S. level to conduct perform- ance analysis and stability and control analysis. Each field is intimately associated with flight testing and wind tunnel testing. Performance assignments include preparation of sales presenta- tions, operating instructions and preliminary design work in connection with new aircraft; stability and control assignments cover wing and tail design as well as studies concerning detailed control systems. GEOASTROPHYSICS SEATTLE AREA Theoretical physicists or astronomers with Ph.D. in physics or astronomy on the staff of the Geoastrophysics Laboratory, Boeing Scientific Research Laboratories, to carry out theoretical research studies in the field of Geoastrophysics, particularly in connection with the phenomenology and physics of the planetary system. Excellent support is available for research in Solar Physics, Solar Terrestrial relationships and Upper Atmosphere Physics. Advantages you'll enjoy at Boeing include up-to-the-minute facilities, unexcelled research equipment, insurance and retirement programs, and a company-paid graduate study program (M.A. and Ph.D.) designed to help you get ahead faster.
