We seek candidates with advanced skills in systems engineering who want to mentor and engage in hands-on development, including the analysis of system and subsystem requirements, interface design documents, support for ground systems architecture and design, system integration, system test, system verification, and demonstration to ensure the ground system meets customer requirements. The applicant will also be trained in Boeing and Ground processes and procedures. We are looking for candidates with interests and skills in ground system engineering, software integration and test, and formal qualification. Candidates should possess excellent communication skills for requirements and architecture reviews, a thorough understanding of version control and system quality attributes (testability, portability, maintainability), and enjoy a self-driven, collaborative development approach. They should also interact well with System Engineers/Analysts/Software developers and other members of the Integrated Product Team, and have experience presenting at program major reviews and leading the technical content of system technical documents. As part of the MILSATCOM Mission Planning Development Team, you will collaborate with supplier/contractor software, system engineering, and test teams on requirement generation and verification, and support the customer’s delivered system. The team will work closely with the customer on requirement generation, develop the ground mission planning system, and then develop, execute, and document test plans, procedures, and reports for the ground system and systems ranging from single components to larger functional systems. The MILSATCOM Program Team offers a collaborative, causal, yet professional mentoring environment with long-term potential for career growth into technical and management positions.
