The Boeing Company is currently seeking an Experienced Software Engineer to join the Air Dominance Phantom Works team located in Berkeley, MO. This position will focus on supporting the Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) business organization.
As an initial assignment these engineers will support the ongoing MQ-28 program. The MQ-28 is a new uncrewed aircraft that will serve as a force multiplier. It’s designed to work as a smart team with existing military aircraft to complement and extend airborne missions. Software is what makes this a reality.
Our software engineers support development and integration of new specialized mission system software into the Boeing MQ-28. Our team is industry leading in the use of modern software development techniques including DevSecOps and containerized services on a tactical platform. We are learning and leading every day to import standard methodologies and apply technical excellence for software that truly matters. We work across multiple Boeing engineering teams as well as customer and vendor engineering counterparts to ensure that our software will support program demonstration achievements.
