The Future of the Engineering Community: Equity, AI, and Real Connection

The Engineer Who Builds Communities, Not Just Systems!

Angelie Vincent has spent more than two decades in aerospace engineering, but her real legacy might be the communities she’s built along the way.

Now an AI Integration Engineer at Boeing, Angelie joins Professional Quotient host Jason Winningham for a wide-ranging conversation on neurodivergent leadership, workplace inclusion, and how careers aren’t always linear — they’re lived. She shares how being diagnosed as autistic later in life reshaped her understanding of communication, why she uses AI to soften email tone and bridge team dynamics, and how her personal experiences became the catalyst for launching disability inclusion groups inside major organizations like Boeing and the Society of Women Engineers.

Highlights from the Episode:

• How neurodivergent experiences can enhance communication, empathy, and innovation in engineering spaces

• Why Vincent believes relationships—not just knowledge—are the cornerstone of professional equity

• How building and leading professional communities (internally at Boeing and externally through SWE) is reshaping the culture of engineering

If you’ve ever wondered how to grow both your professional equity and your impact, Angelie’s story is a blueprint for doing both with clarity and care.

“Helping others is how I’ve learned to heal myself.”

Listen to learn how quiet voices can build powerful change in engineering, leadership, and beyond.

Angelie Vincent is an AI Integration Engineer at Boeing with more than two decades of experience in the aerospace industry. Starting her career on the military side at Boeing Wichita before transitioning to Spirit AeroSystems, Vincent has since returned to Boeing to support the commercial division. Her path includes a late autism diagnosis that has given her deeper insight into communication, inclusion, and the value of mentorship. She is a champion of disability inclusion, having founded the SWE Disability Inclusion Group and previously led Boeing’s disability-focused business resource group. With a background in metallurgical and materials engineering, Vincent has consistently adapted her career to stay relevant in evolving technical fields, including Python, SQL, and AI applications.
