Embedded Software Engineer (Associate, Experienced, or Senior)
About The Position
The Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) Space Mission Systems (SMS) software capability is seeking multiple Embedded Software Engineers (Associate, Experienced, or Senior) in El Segundo, California. We are seeking real-time software engineers for our next generation of space-based computers. The selected candidate will be responsible for designing, developing, and testing low level software/firmware that allows the operating system (OS) and application to interact with hardware devices connected to an ARM-based system-on-chip (SOC). The candidate will work with the electronics products and software application team to ensure engineering excellence and achieve program objectives.
