Experienced Software Engineer – Vehicle Management Systems

Company: The Boeing Company

Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) has an exciting opportunity for an Experienced Software Engineer - Vehicle Management Systems to join our Experimental Systems Group (ESG) Flight Software (FSW) team in Seal Beach, California
. This position focuses on supporting the BDS Software Engineering organization. The role involves collaborating with systems, flight software, and integration/test teams to translate requirements and interface control documents (ICDs) into robust architectures and executable verification strategies. The engineer will build simulation- and hardware-in-the-loop environments, author test plans and procedures, develop automated pipelines, write unit/integration/system tests, contribute to CI/CD pipelines, code reviews, and documentation, and deliver concise, actionable test reports for stakeholders.

• Collaborate cross-functionally to define, review, and refine vehicle management software requirements, specifications, and system-level design inputs.
• Develop and integrate vehicle management software, including supporting the integration of externally developed functions into vehicle management systems.
• Plan and execute verification and validation (V&V) activities by creating test strategies, objectives, plans, cases, and scenarios aligned to requirements and compliance needs.
• Configure and manage test environments (hardware/software/network) that replicate production conditions and support reliable validation.
• Perform manual and automated testing, including building and maintaining automated test frameworks/scripts, executing test procedures, and reporting defects, risks, and potential vulnerabilities.
• Support issue investigation and resolution for software defects discovered in testing or during operational use, providing results and feedback to improve design and functionality.
• Maintain engineering and test documentation (design artifacts, technical specifications, user documentation, test records, metrics, and data) in alignment with privacy/security standards.
• Contribute to process and technology improvements by applying current and emerging tools, frameworks, and methods in software development and test.
• Coordinate test and verification efforts across multifunctional teams, including project management support for test execution and delivery.
