Job Description
At Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better place. We’re committed to fostering an environment for every teammate that’s welcoming, respectful and inclusive, with great opportunity for professional growth. Find your future with us.
The Boeing Company is seeking an Associate Software Engineer to join the B-52J Navigation and Displays team in Kent, Washington, supporting the B-52J CERP program within Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS).
The role focuses on flight software development and avionics modernization for a long-serving, iconic military aircraft; and it is ideal for someone passionate about embedded systems who is ready to go beyond basic coding while working alongside experienced engineers in a dynamic environment.
The ideal candidate will be an independent contributor who supports lifecycle activities — design, development, integration, verification, process/tool deployment, supplier and project coordination, research, and troubleshooting — under general direction from technical leads, product owner, and functional manager. This is a hands-on and high-impact role where you will own features, understand system architecture, tackle complex assignments, mentor junior engineers, and influence team processes; therefore, previous experience in avionics and related domains is required.
If you are excited about building dependable embedded systems and contributing your flight software knowledge to a historic aircraft modernization, we’d love to hear from you — please apply today to join the B-52J Navigation and Displays team and help shape the future of this mission-critical program.
