About The Position

The Boeing Company is seeking Embedded Software Engineers (Associate, Experienced or Senior) to join the Software Engineering team, focused on developing embedded real-time software for their avionics hardware solutions. Boeing is at the forefront of aerospace innovation, shaping the future of flight and space exploration. They are looking for passionate individuals in areas such as Low-Level Development (creating kernel and user mode drivers for Linux and real-time operating systems, board bring-up, bootloaders, and on-target debugging), High-Integrity Software Development (deriving and allocating requirements with traceability, designing solutions, and developing/reviewing code to meet safety and quality standards), and Integration and Test Automation (integrating software components, identifying vulnerabilities, ensuring resilience, and developing/executing test plans). Successful candidates will be able to tackle challenging problems independently, communicate effectively, and take responsibility for the complete software lifecycle. All candidates are expected to have a working knowledge of modern software engineering tools and practices, such as Distributed Version Control Systems (DVCS), Continuous Integration (CI), Continuous Deployment (CD), and a bias towards automation. Boeing is committed to fostering a culture of safety, quality, and integrity, valuing multi-faceted perspectives.
