Company:

The Boeing Company

The Boeing Company is currently seeking a Software Engineer–Hardware Emulation (Associate, Experienced or Senior) (Virtual) to support our Emulation team located in Berkeley, Missouri. This position will focus on supporting the Fabric organization.

The Boeing Emulation Team is currently seeking an Associate Hardware Emulation Engineer. This team is responsible for developing software models that emulate the behavior and functionality of hardware components and systems, providing an all-software test and integration environment for various Boeing projects across Commercial Airplanes, Defense and Space platforms, training devices, and autonomous platforms.

In this role, you will leverage your experience and technical skills to lead the architecture and design of emulation solutions that meet the rigorous demands of our diverse projects. A successful candidate will collaborate with the Software Enterprise to embrace software best practices, standards, and initiatives, positioning the flight simulation team for efficient, effective, and high-quality execution. You will work closely with the Fabric Boeing team, contributing to innovative solutions that enhance our emulation capabilities and streamline the integration of software and hardware.

Additionally, you will tackle reverse engineering challenges to discover solutions for hosting software in emulated environments. Your contributions will be vital in ensuring that our emulation tools not only meet current project requirements but also adapt to future technological advancements. Hands-on experience with virtualization technologies such as KVM and QEMU will be essential, as will familiarity with software development practices in GitLab. Understanding ARM, PowerPC, or x86 microprocessor architectures, along with common avionics data buses and interfaces, will further enhance your ability to deliver effective emulation solutions. Familiarity with Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and hardware description languages (HDL) will also be beneficial in this role.

Our teams are currently hiring for a broad range of experience levels including Associate, Experienced and Senior Software Engineers.

This position has been identified as a virtual opportunity and will not require the selected candidate to relocate.
