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 looking for a Mid-Level Simulation Software Engineer (Associate or Experienced) (Virtual) with a focus on visualizations using Unreal Engine to join the High Fidelity Virtual Cab (HFVC) team in Long Beach, California. Contribute to the development and integration of airplane models, simulations and hardware emulations using high fidelity Unreal game engine visualizations of Boeing aircrafts and flight decks. Build polished deliverables used for high-fidelity, real-time visualization-across aircraft simulation and other data-driven projects. You'll integrate APIs using C to connect with complex live backends/simulations, keeping performance predictable and stable.
The ideal candidate is a systems-minded software engineer who views Unreal Engine as a powerful middleware platform rather than just a game engine. You should have a deep understanding of the engine's underlying C architecture and a passion for solving complex synchronization and data-bottleneck challenges inherent in high-fidelity flight simulation.
The candidate for this role is a leader, self-starter, enjoys working collaboratively with others, has a commitment to customer satisfaction and process improvement, and is successful working in a multi-program environment. This position will support the development of solutions to a wide range of complex problems that require ingenuity and innovation. The candidate should be adaptable to new development environments and eager to work with and learn new technologies.
