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 an Associate Software Engineer - F-22 Pilot Training Simulation to join the F-22 Pilot Training Vehicle Simulation Software team located in Berkeley, MO. This position will focus on supporting the Boeing Global Services (BGS) Software Engineering organization.
The F-22 Vehicle Simulation Team within BGS Software Engineering is responsible for developing products directly employed in the training of our nation's fighter pilots:

• F-22 Pilot Training Avionics Simulation (PTAS)
• F-22 Advanced Simulation Toolset (FAST) supporting the Boeing Virtual Warfare Center (VWC)
• F-22 Deployable Training Device (DTD)
• F-22 Mixed/Augmented/Virtual Reality Simulation

These simulations support the employment and training of next generation avionics and sensor systems for the F-22 Raptor. This is an exciting opportunity that will allow you to directly impact on the engineering, design, and development of multiple simulators. In this role you will design, implement, integrate, and test real-time human-in-the-loop models of aircraft systems and displays, and related tools and utilities. You will interact with users to clarify requirements and timelines; participate in technical design and peer code reviews; employ coding standards; seek guidance and mentoring from senior engineers; and develop software as part of a coordinated agile development team. All while developing technical expertise in complex aircraft systems and simulations.
F-22 Vehicle Simulation Software Engineers test their changes daily in several different simulation environments including the desktop-based Development Test Environment (DTE) and Full Mission Trainer (FMT) cockpit used in conjunction with the Constant Resolution Visual System (CRVS) driving 360 degrees of immersive, visual environment.
