## Description

The Boeing Company has an exciting opportunity for a Software Engineer (Developer) to join the Experimental Systems Group Telemetry & Command Database team in Seal Beach, CA.

This role is ideal for a software engineer who enjoys working close to hardware and mission operations, cares about data correctness and performance, and wants to grow into a domain expert in spacecraft/flight test telemetry and command systems.

The team develops and sustains the data backbone that connects spacecraft, flight-test systems, ground systems, laboratories, and mission operations. The successful candidate will help define how telemetry and command data is modeled, validated, accessed, distributed, and maintained across multiple environments.

**Position Responsibilities:**

- Develops services, APIs, scripts, and pipelines to ingest, transform, validate, version, publish, and distribute telemetry and command definitions

- Supports the consistent propagation of approved data definitions across development, integration, laboratory, test, and operational environments

- Implements automated data-quality checks for completeness, naming conflicts, invalid units, range violations, referential integrity, incompatible changes, and other schema or metadata issues

- Designs and maintains relational database structures, queries, views, constraints, indexes, migrations, and data-access patterns

- Develops and optimizes software that reads, writes, transforms, and presents database information through batch and real-time workflows, APIs, and integration services

- Supports database performance, reliability, and scalability through query optimization, indexing, transaction management, caching, and effective schema design

- Develops unit, integration, regression, and data-validation tests for database-backed applications and services

- Troubleshoots database and data-pipeline issues, including failed jobs, migration errors, data inconsistencies, performance problems, and discrepancies between environments

- Contributes to CI/CD pipelines, automated builds, deployments, database migrations, configuration management, code reviews, and technical documentation

- Collaborates with systems engineers, flight software developers, test engineers, database specialists, and mission operations personnel

- Participates in Agile planning, technical reviews, process improvement, and the evaluation of technologies that improve data quality, observability, maintainability, and operational performance

**Benefits:**

- Competitive base pay and variable compensation opportunities

- Health insurance, flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts, retirement savings plans, life and disability insurance programs

- Boeing 401(k) plan with dollar-for-dollar matching up to 10% of eligible pay
