The Boeing Company is looking for a Software Engineer Virtual Simulation Team Lead to join Phantom Works - Virtual Warfare Center (VWC) team located in Berkeley, MO. This position will focus on supporting the Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) business organization.
As part of the Virtual Warfare Center (VWC) software engineering team, the selected individual will lead a team of engineers in the development, maintenance and execution of a simulation toolset used to host large scale virtual simulation experiments. The primary toolset is the Virtual Interactive Simulation Environment (VISE) which is a suite of simulations, components, tools, and interfaces which are responsible for the Operator in the Loop (OITL) real time simulation experiments at the VWC. The engineer will work closely with the customer, industry partners and military operators to ensure the simulation environment can meet test objectives. This position requires knowledge of Distributive Interactive Simulation (DIS) standards. This engineer will work with a long-standing customer to meet all contracted software requirements.
This position requires a Software Lead to coordinate all software development activities, to include requirements gathering, analysis, planning and development of a technology roadmap as well as software architecture, development, and testing. This lead will be responsible for developing innovative approaches to meeting multiple customers’ needs and integrating industry partners’ simulations into the large-scale virtual test environment.
The selected candidate will build and maintain close relationships with multiple teams, customers, and industry partners in order to ensure timely completion of contractual commitments. The selected individual will mentor and coach early-career employees on software development, integration, testing and project leadership skills.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Active Top Secret U.S. Security Clearance (Pre-Start) – with ability to obtain Top Secret/SCI and Program clearances (Post Start)
• Bachelor, Master or Doctor of Science degree from an accredited course of study, in Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics or other technical degree
• 5+ years’ professional experience with C++
• 5+ years’ experience in integrating complex applications on Linux platforms
• 3+ years’ experience software design, development, debugging, and performing software integration and test
• Experience leading a project or technical team
• Experience in a customer facing position

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Experience with Distributive Interactive Simulation (DIS) standards
• Experience with operator in the loop real time simulation
• Understanding of software security posture in proprietary areas
