About The Position

The Boeing Company is seeking a Mid-Level Robotics Software Developer for its Information Digital Technology and Security organization in Berkeley or Hazelwood, Missouri. The role is part of a small team developing Windows desktop applications that integrate with industrial robots and machines to control work cells and connect them to enterprise systems. The developer will build IT capabilities to commission, program, simulate, and operate robotics and automation equipment across the enterprise, with a focus on usability, uptime, and production capabilities.

The position involves collaborating with engineering and production stakeholders to define use cases and deliver software that meets production rate, quality, and productivity requirements. Work includes designing, programming, testing, implementing, documenting, and maintaining applications for industrial robotics and automation; developing and verifying software interfaces; gathering user requirements; and analyzing application architecture, compatibility, and security needs. The developer also tests software at module and system levels, investigates reported anomalies, identifies root causes and deficiencies, maintains and upgrades applications, resolves programming and architecture problems, and trains end users. Testing may take place at vendor facilities, on Boeing factory floors, or in office environments.

The role requires the ability to travel 10% and work flexible hours, including on-call support as needed, potentially on weekends and holidays. Boeing lists a summary pay range of $107,950–$146,050. This position is not safety sensitive, does not require a security clearance, and is not contingent upon a program award. Applicants must meet U.S. export-control requirements and be a U.S. Person as defined by 22 C.F.R. §120.62. The employer will not sponsor employment visas.
