Experiences at Boeing

Honestly, the best way is to know someone, although a resume with the word "Microsoft" on it doesn't hurt! Find out what tech Boeing is using and develop your skills in that. I've been semi-retired for the past 10 years so I'm not sure if the corporate climate there is the same as when I left. I am pleased as all get out to see that the fellow to whom I explained and demoed "The Web," way back when, is now President of Boeing Commerical Airplanes....

Supported top level execs with all IT requirments in their office, homes, and at presentations around the world.

My last two years at Boeing involved traveling to suppliers and working with them to implement "lean manufacturing" with the goal of improving their performance.

This experience took me to many diverse industries ranging from raw materials through machining, assembly and coating.

Enthusiasm and determination.

This was my third rotation within Boeing. Here, I performed various analyses on crack growth, I ran new analyses with changing loads, and I also searched and corrected errors in the original analyses.

In this role, which was my second rotation out of three at Boeing, I was the focal for a major system on a Japan update for their AWACS airplane. In addition, I worked with our supplier on FAB-T to define the overall swept volume for their antenna.
