Software Engineer, Embedded Software Engineer

The Opportunity:

As a software engineer, you know that good software is difficult to find, and good safety‑critical software is very rare. Weapon sustainment and acquisition requires a level of safety‑criticality that is beyond most software engineers. But you have what it takes to support the Air Force in analyzing the most complex software safety issues across the myriad of weapon systems for which the Air Force is responsible.

We are looking for a software engineer like you to understand the design of weapon systems and use that understanding to ensure that those weapon systems remain safe and secure in an exciting, dynamic environment. As a software engineer at Booz Allen, you will apply knowledge of real‑time embedded software development and configurable logic development to the maintenance of weapons safety design policy.

You will apply safety design policy to current and new weapon systems, including the most advanced weapon systems in development. You will take the understanding of those weapon systems and verify that they meet safety design policy requirements, and that weapon system documentation meets safety design standards. You will help lead teams in supporting the Air Force client. Work with us as we keep the nation’s weapons safe and secure.

Join us. The world can’t wait.
