About The Position

The Boeing Company is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to lead the Systems Engineering team supporting software and firmware development within the Boeing Defense, Space & Security Satellite Systems Engineering organization. The team develops software tools and services for satellite and ground systems serving U.S. Government and commercial customers, including next-generation ground systems. The role supports work in a rapid-development environment using modern technology, architecture, and tools, with a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach.

The position calls for systems engineering experience across the lifecycle of FPGA, firmware, and software systems, including requirements creation and tracking; development of documentation covering architecture, algorithms, and interfaces; and management and development of test and verification plans. The successful candidate will bring leadership, software ecosystem experience, strong judgment and decision-making, critical thinking, and troubleshooting skills.

The position is expected to be 100% onsite in Seal Beach or Huntington Beach, California. A hybrid schedule may be available depending on the candidate’s background and experience and business needs. Relocation may be offered based on eligibility. The role requires the ability to obtain a U.S. security clearance, with interim and final Top Secret clearance requirements, and a U.S. Person is required for export-control compliance. Boeing will not sponsor employment visas. The position is not contingent upon program award and is not safety sensitive.
