Software Engineer Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) 3\4
Boeing is looking for a software engineer/programmer to work within our Distributed Mission Operations Training Research Testbeds to develop an unclassified F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) aircraft simulator, and then support that simulator as it is transitioned to a full Operational Flight Program (OFP) based simulator in the future. The Sr. Software Engineer applicants will be required to integrate the cockpit stick, throttle, multi-function touch screen displays, the Helmet Mounted Cuing Systems and the visual systems. Applicant should be familiar with Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) protocols and techniques. Familiarity with JSF avionics, displays and capabilities highly desired. Experience with aircraft avionics is required, preferably JSF or F-22. Experience with Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Ethernet network communication programming required. Strong software skills in C, C++ and Java are required. Significant experience in integrating hardware and software systems is required. The applicant must be able to work in both Linux and Windows OS and development environments. Applicant will also be involved in other projects including developing Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) connections with Link-16 networks and Common Domain Solutions (CDS) systems. Experience with Link-16 J-Series messages and security requirements is highly desirable. The Sr. Software Engineer applicant must either have a current Department of Defense (DoD) security clearance or have the ability to obtain a Secret clearance prior to official start date. A current DoD Secret or Top Secret Clearance is a plus.
