At Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better place. We’re committed to fostering an environment for every teammate that’s welcoming, respectful and inclusive, with great opportunity for professional growth. Find your future with us.The Boeing Company is currently seeking an Experienced Software Engineer to join our B-52J Navigation and Displays team located in Kent, Washington in support of the B-52J CERP program within Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS). The role focuses on flight software development and avionics modernization for a long-serving, iconic military aircraft; and it is ideal for someone passionate about embedded avionics and control systems who is ready to go beyond coding to defining the work, leading others to execute, and owning the outcome.
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 leadership 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.
