About The Position

Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Sensor Modeling Software Engineer to join the Special Projects Dallas (SPD) P-8A Poseidon Maritime Patrol Aircraft Advanced Airborne Sensor (AAS) team in Richardson, TX. At Boeing, our software engineers use their expertise to dream up next generation’s software capabilities for some amazing aerospace platforms. The Boeing SPD AAS team provides the mission systems software that runs on the P-8A to provide the warfighter the ability to perform mission and tactic planning, interface with the sensor, display sensor data to the operator, and replay missions. The team also provides the capability to train fleet operators on the AAS mission by adding high-fidelity simulations to the baseline P-8 Training system. In this role, you will execute the full software development lifecycle, including requirements analysis, design, development, system integration, and maintenance support for the P-8A AAS Training Systems contracts. The candidate must be comfortable working independently in a challenging, fast-paced environment. This position requires extensive collaboration with other teams and the customers, requiring strong communication and interpersonal skills. The candidate will support the training devices in Richardson as well as retrofitting the training devices at customer sites.
