The Boeing Company is looking for Mid Level Software Engineers - Simulation to join the F-22 Pilot Training Vehicle Simulation Software team located in Berkeley, Missouri. This position will focus on supporting the Boeing Global Services (BGS) Software Engineering organization.
The F-22 Vehicle Simulation Team within BGS Software Engineering is responsible for developing products directly employed in the training of our nation’s fighter pilots:
• F-22 Pilot Training Avionics Simulation (PTAS)
• F-22 Advanced Simulation Toolset (FAST) supporting the Boeing Virtual Warfare Center (VWC)
These simulations support the employment and training of next generation avionics and sensor systems for the F-22 Raptor.
This is an exciting opportunity that will allow you to support the long-term roadmap of the Vehicle Simulation team as a Senior Software Engineer. In this role you will interact with users to clarify requirements and timelines; help software development teams meet management/stakeholders prioritization of feature enhancements; participate in technical design and peer code reviews; enforce coding standards; provide mentoring to junior engineers; and function as a primary software developer.
F-22 Vehicle Simulation Software Engineers test their changes daily in several different simulation environments including the desktop-based Development Test Environment (DTE) and Full Mission Trainer (FMT) cockpit used in conjunction with the Constant Resolution Visual System (CRVS) driving 360 degrees of immersive, visual environment.
Position Responsibilities:
- Leads the design, architecture, and development of simulation models, virtual environments/platforms and frameworks to enhance test performance, and durability of software systems throughout the entire product lifecycle.
- Partners with stakeholders to lead the review and identification of simulation requirements and dynamics of the systems being simulated.
- Performs data collection and processing for use in simulations.
- Leads validation, verification, and refinement of simulation software code, models, simulations, test procedures and test environments, and modeling against real-world data, test data, benchmarks, or other similar models.
- Leads the documentation and maintenance of technical code, algorithms, specifications and descriptions of simulation models.
- Partners with cross functional engineering teams to integrate simulation software with hardware devices and systems.
- Leads implementing current and emerging technologies, tools, frameworks, and methods in the software engineering simulation environment.
- Leads modernizing, migrating, sustaining, and updating simulation software to adapt legacy systems to new operating systems.
- Leads simulation software project management functions.
We work in a casual but professional environment with multi-disciplined teams of engineers that take pride in developing, integrating, testing and delivering innovative solutions. There is long-term potential for career growth into technical leadership or management positions and we value the curiosity, tenacity and imagination our engineers bring to our teams each day.
To be considered for this position you will be required to complete a technical assessment as part of the selection process. Failure to complete the assessment will remove you from consideration.
