The Boeing Company

This is Boeing: each of us is an innovator on a mission to connect protect explore and inspire. From seabed to outer space youll learn and grow contributing to work that shapes the world. Find your future with us.

The Boeing Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) program area is working on several new development efforts for the Patriot Advanced Capability (PAC3 RF seeker and is looking for an experienced Radar Seeker System Engineer to support these efforts at the Boeing Jetplex facility in Huntsville Alabama.

Boeing Defense Space & Security (BDS) PAC3 program is an airdefense missile system designed to intercept tactical ballistic missiles cruise missiles and advanced aircraft where Boeing is the original engineering manufacturer of the seeker. Boeings radar seekers provide target data to the PAC3 missile which enables it to acquire intercept and destroy threats using hittokill technology. The PAC3 Seeker team is a cross functional highly skilled motivated group embracing the beliefs that focused safety and lean manufacturing and business practices will secure our future all while driving our product to be the seeker of choice for the PAC3 program and future generations of weapon systems.
