Software Engineer - Developer

This posting is for a contract assignment and is not a full-time employment offer with Boeing. Candidates selected for roles will be employed as contract workers through a Boeing approved 3rd party for the duration of the specified project.

The ideal candidate will be an independent contributor who supports lifecycle activities — design, development, integration, verification, process/tool deployment, supplier and project coordination, research, and troubleshooting — under minimum direction from technical leads, product owner, and functional manager. This is a high-impact and high-influence role where you will own project goals and their relationship to the big-picture and business context; identify and suggest improvements to potential issues in architecture, design, and code;

drive technical direction and influence processes while handling ambiguity under tight constraints; and mentor other engineers on team direction and technical skills.

If you are excited about building dependable embedded systems and contributing your flight software knowledge and Ada programming skills to a historic aircraft modernization, we’d love to hear from you — please apply today to join the B‑52J Navigation and Displays team and help shape the future of this mission‑critical program.
