Senior Software Engineer - Simulation

Company:

The Boeing Company

 The Boeing Company is looking for a Senior Software Engineer - Simulation to join the Virtual Warfare Center Constructive Software Engineering team located in Berkeley, Missouri. This position will focus on supporting the Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) business organization. 

The Virtual Warfare Center (VWC) Software Engineering Environment Architect will lead a team of engineers in the architecture, design, development, maintenance and integration of a simulation toolset used in large scale virtual simulation experiments. The primary toolset is the Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration and Modeling (AFSIM) with Boeing Extensions (ABX). The experiments run using a suite of simulations, components, tools and interface that constitute Operator in the Loop (OITL) real time simulation experiments at the VWC. This position requires knowledge of Distributive Interactive Simulation (DIS) standards.  

This engineer will work with a long-standing customer to meet all contracted software requirements. This position requires the Software Lead to coordinate all software development activities, to include requirements gathering, analysis, planning and development of a technology roadmap as well as software architecture, development and testing. This lead will be responsible for developing innovative approaches to meeting multiple customers' needs and integrating industry partners' simulations into the large-scale virtual test environment. The selected candidate will build and maintain close relationships with multiple software development teams, operations analyst teams, and customer and industry partners in order to ensure timely completion of contractual commitments. The selected individual will mentor and coach early-career employees on software development, integration, testing and project leadership skills. 

Position Responsibilities: 

• Oversees the design, architecture, and development of simulation models, simulation visualizations, virtual environments/platforms and frameworks to enhance test performance, safety, and durability of software and hardware systems throughout the entire product lifecycle. 

• Partners with stakeholders to advise on the review and identification of simulation requirements and dynamics of the systems being simulated. 

• Oversees the design, modeling, simulation, testing, and analysis to assess and optimize overall system performance and capabilities. 

• Reviews data collection and processing for use in simulations. 

• Oversees validation, verification, and refinement of simulation software code, models, simulations, test procedures and test environments, executing test procedures, documenting test results and modeling against real-world data, test data, benchmarks, or other similar models. 

• Reviews the documentation and maintenance of technical code, algorithms, specifications and descriptions of simulation models. 

• Partners with cross functional engineering teams to advise on integration of simulation software with hardware devices and systems. 

• Oversees implementing current and emerging technologies, tools, frameworks, and methods in the software engineering simulation environment. 

• Oversees modernizing, migrating, sustaining, and updating simulation software to adapt legacy systems to new operating systems. 

• Oversees simulation software project management functions. 

• Advises management and influences internal practices on a wide range of topics related to the software engineering simulation environments. 

 

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

 

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/ Experience): 

• Active U.S. Top Secret Security Clearance.
