Job Description Qualifications:

We are Boeing Research & Technology (BR&T): Boeing's global research and development team creating and implementing innovative technologies that make the impossible possible and enabling the future of aerospace. We are engineers and technicians, skilled scientists and bold innovators; Join us and put your passion, determination, and skill to work building the future! #TheFutureIsBuiltHere #ChangeTheWorld

We are seeking a Software Systems Engineer in Huntington Beach, CA to support the systems engineering for Software, Firmware and algorithm development supporting prototype EO/IR sensing systems for airborne and space platforms. Our team is currently hiring for a broad range of experience levels including Senior Level Systems Engineers.

Candidates should have experience with the Agile software development process (sprint planning, scrum meetings, story definition, story points, etc.) as well as all phases of software development, including creation and tracking of requirements, development of software documentation covering architecture, algorithms and interfaces, software configuration management, and development and execution of test and verification plans. 

This position is part of the rapidly growing EO/IR Mission Systems (EMS) team within BR&T. The EMS team has more than quadrupled in size over the past 18 months due to new contract wins and continues to see increased demand from Boeing’s customers. We’re designing, building, and testing cutting edge sensor systems for airborne and space platforms. Our focus is always on the mission – connecting people through safer air travel and protection of the warfighter from its adversaries.

This isn’t your typical Boeing team – we are focused on the entire lifecycle of design: from modeling and simulation of new ideas, through prototype demonstrations, and eventually transitioning to production systems. Our team provides complete engineering solutions to Boeing and its customers, including systems engineering, optics design, mechanical design, algorithms, software development, firmware development, electronics, and advanced system modeling and simulations. If you’re interested in working in a fast-paced environment while taking a design from clean sheet of paper through flight demonstration, ideally with some technology that’s never been flow before, then this is the group for you!

Position Responsibilities:

• Apply an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach to lead activities to plan, design, develop and verify complex lifecycle balanced system of systems and system solutions

• Lead evaluation of customer/operational needs to define system performance requirements, integrate technical parameters, and assure compatibility of all physical, functional and program interfaces

• Identify, define, and maintain internal and external software/firmware interfaces and associated documentation

• Plan and lead software/firmware qualification testing in both simulated environments and on flight hardware for verification and validation of requirements

• Interface with program leadership and the customer on technical design issues and to present on software/firmware system designs

• Lead analyses to optimize total system of systems and/or system architecture

• Lead analyses for affordability, safety, reliability, maintainability, testability, human systems integration, survivability, vulnerability, susceptibility, system security, regulatory, certification, product assurance and other specialties quality factors into a preferred configuration to ensure mission success

• Lead, develop, maintain, and identify improvements for the planning, organization, implementation and monitoring of requirements management processes, FPGA/firmware/software configuration management processes, tools, risk, issues, opportunity management and technology readiness assessment processes

• Lead activities to develop and maintain full documentation of architecture, algorithms, FPGA/firmware, software, and system interfaces

• Plan and lead research projects to develop concepts for future product designs to meet projected requirements

This position is expected to be 100% onsite.  The selected candidate will be required to work onsite at one of the listed location options.
