New Boeing Engineering Center Has Just Been Inaugurated. Company Investments Promise to Generate New Jobs and Advance Brazilian Aerospace Technology.
Boeing held the inauguration of its new Engineering and Technology Center in Brazil, in São José dos Campos (SP), a city that has been home to the company since 2014. The Boeing engineering center in Brazil is one of 15 aerospace manufacturer centers around the world that develop cutting-edge technology to boost aerospace innovation.
Boeing Announces a Series of Strategic Investments in the Country
Approximately 500 Boeing engineers based in Brazil work in various areas, supporting different types of current and future aircraft. During the event at the Engineering and Technology Center in Brazil with key collaborators and partners this Tuesday, the company announced several strategic investments in the country.
The company signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the government of the state of São Paulo focusing on aerospace technological development. Among Boeing’s main objectives are the development of training in aerospace engineering, including education focused on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

The next few hours will be marked by increasing tension regarding the stance to be adopted by the Central Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee (Copom/BC) concerning the benchmark interest rate (Selic) at the end of this Wednesday’s (17th) meeting. Although the market is ‘divided’ on the committee’s decision, the stronger trend in recent weeks is that the rate will remain unchanged at the current level of 14.50% per year. Meanwhile, a minority faction still ‘bets’ on a 0.25 percentage point (p.p) decrease.
The company also plans to invest to promote a joint industrialization and innovation agenda, enhancing and strengthening the flow of talent throughout the aerospace ecosystem, with a specific focus on increasing diversity.
Along with State University of Campinas (Unicamp), Boeing announced funding for a sustainability project that extends the partnership to boost the third phase of the SAFMaps database, which enables the feasibility of the most promising inputs for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production in specific areas of the country.
Boeing Also Announces Internship Program in the Country
During the inauguration of the Boeing Engineering Center, the company also announced its first internship program in the country, focusing on final-year engineering students. Interns will apply knowledge through projects in a global and multicultural environment, guided by experienced professionals.
The initiative aligns with the company’s global strategy to contribute to engineering excellence in the countries where it operates. According to Boeing’s Vice President of Engineering, Strategy, and Operations, Lynne Hopper, Boeing’s long-standing partnership with Brazil dates back over 90 years, and during this time, the company has collaborated with the aerospace industry and the Brazilian community to leverage the incredible technical skills and problem-solving capabilities of Brazilian engineers.
Their experience strengthens Boeing’s commitment to engineering excellence and positions it to face the next generation of challenges in its industry. According to Jorge Lima, Secretary of Economic Development of the State of São Paulo, the state has all the conditions to consolidate aerospace technological advancement, an essential sector that drives the São Paulo economy. In this way, the company seeks to generate more jobs and income for its state, one of the main objectives of the partnership with the private initiative, a guideline from Governor Tarcísio de Freitas.
Boeing Investments in Brazil Over the Years
In addition to the Boeing engineering center, the company highlights that it has made investments to strengthen the country’s aerospace ecosystem on various fronts, including obtaining more than 30 patents through the Boeing Research Center since its establishment in the country in 2012.
The company has also invested US$ 5 million in partnerships with institutions focused on teaching Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), impacting 5 million students and training thousands of teachers.
In the area of sustainability, Boeing has been collaborating for over 10 years with universities, public institutions, and non-governmental organizations to enable the decarbonization of the aerospace sector. This work particularly focuses on sustainable aviation fuels, recognizing the country’s pioneering role and expertise in biofuels.
