The Boeing Company is currently seeking an Associate Software Engineer–Vehicle Management Systems to support our Experimental Systems Group (ESG) Flight Software (FSW) team located in Seal Beach, California
. This position will focus on supporting the Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) Software Engineering organization.

This role is ideal for software engineers who enjoy working close to flight hardware and mission operations, care deeply about safety, reliability, and performance, and want to grow into a domain expert in Vehicle Management Systems (VMS) for advanced aerospace and autonomy platforms.

You will design, implement, and validate software components that support guidance, navigation, and control functions; integrate sensor and actuator interfaces; collaborate with autonomy specialists to engineer algorithms for autonomous controls; and contribute to the real-time execution environment for vehicle control.

The idea candidate will collaborate with systems and flight software engineers to translate requirements and interface control documents (ICDs) into robust architectures and well-defined control logic, with clear timing, units, limits, and fault-handling behaviors. You will build and maintain simulation- and hardware-in-the-loop test assets to verify algorithms and interfaces under nominal and off-nominal conditions; write unit/integration tests and verification procedures; contribute to test/integration workflows, code reviews, and documentation;

and support configuration management and release activities for mission-critical software.

• Partners with cross-functional engineering teams and contributes to identify, review, and inform requirements and specifications for vehicle management.
• Contributes to the development of vehicle management software and partners with stakeholders to support integration of externally generated functions into vehicle management systems.
• Supports development of test plans and test cases for vehicle management software validation.
• Contributes to verification, validation, and integration processes for vehicle management software in compliance with internal and industry standards and regulations.
• Supports providing input on software implementations during system-level design and architecture.
• Participates in the investigation and resolution of vehicle management software-related issues reported by users or that occurred during system operation.
• Supports the development and maintenance of software documentation, including design documents, user manuals, and technical specifications.
• Supports implementation of current and emerging technologies, tools, frameworks, and methods in vehicle management software development.
