## Description

The Boeing Company has an exciting opportunity for a Software Engineer to join the Space Intelligence and Weapons Systems (SI&WS) Daybreak team in Kent, WA.

In this role, you will dive into both legacy and modern codebases to craft reproducible, testable, and containerized processing pipelines that power mission-critical analysis running at scale on AWS.

Responsibilities:

- Design, implement, and maintain end-to-end signal-processing software: ingest raw sensor data, run focusing, motion compensation, calibration, and produce analysis/feature outputs

- Invent and implement new processing capabilities from algorithm prototype to production-ready code, collaborating with scientists and stakeholders to define requirements and acceptance criteria

- Analyze, read, and refactor legacy C, C++, and Fortran code; create Python wrappers or re-implement modules natively in Python where it improves readability, testability, or performance

- Build reproducible, containerized processing artifacts (Docker) and package deployments (Helm charts or equivalent) for development, staging, and production

- Author and maintain comprehensive automated tests: unit, regression, integration, and end-to-end system tests, including numerical validation against golden datasets and defined tolerances

- Lead system-level integration and cross-team end-to-end testing with internal and external partners: define test plans, coordinate test events, exercise interfaces (ingest, metadata, telemetry, archive), capture anomalies, and drive remediation to closure

- Define, curate, and maintain representative test datasets, golden outputs, and validation harnesses to support continuous integration and acceptance testing

- Integrate CI/CD pipelines to automate builds, testing (including E2E integration tests) and deployments; gate releases with numerical and interface checks

- Profile and optimize performance of processing chains; quantify tradeoffs between accuracy and runtime and implement targeted optimizations

- Implement observability and telemetry for batch and service workflows: metrics, logging, and traces that support automatic detection of regressions and rapid incident triage

- Troubleshoot numerical, runtime, and interface failures; perform root cause analysis and implement preventive measures and regression tests

- Produce clear developer and operator documentation, reproducible examples, runbooks, and onboarding materials for product teams and external partners

- Mentor teammates on legacy-code practices, numerical validation, and robust testing patterns; contribute to team culture of quality, reproducibility, and collaboration

- Ensure security and compliance controls are integrated into the delivery pipeline and runtime environments

Basic Qualifications:

- An active U.S. Top Secret Security Clearance

- Bachelor’s Degree or higher

- 1+ years software development experience

- Professional experience with C, C++, C#, Python, Java, or Ada

Preferred Qualifications:

- Experience with serverless or container orchestration

- Familiarity with observability and monitoring tools

- Prior exposure to regulated, safety-critical, or aerospace environments

- Understanding of delivery and reliability metrics (DORA or equivalent) and a desire to instrument and improve them

- Experience troubleshooting and incident response mindset for production systems

- Clear communication skills and willingness to support teams and present to stakeholders and customers

- 1+ years’ hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS or equivalent)

- 1+ years’ practical experience with containerization

- Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code concepts and at least introductory experience with tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK

- Basic experience with CI/CD systems

Benefits:

- Competitive base pay and variable compensation opportunities

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

- Paid and unpaid time away from work

Salary Range:

- Associate level (Level 2): USD $106,250 – $143,750

- Experienced level (Level 3): USD $135,150 – $182,850
