Weekend Software Engineer Jobs in Collinsville, IL

This posting is for a contract assignment and is not a full-time employment offer with Boeing. Candidates selected for roles will be employed as contract workers through a Boeing approved 3rd party for the duration of the specified project.

Boeing Global Services is seeking an Experienced Software Engineer to support the Training Systems – Battlespace Simulation Management (BSM) Visual Systems Software Team in Hazelwood, MO. This position contributes to the development and sustainment of next-generation training technologies for military pilot training, including advanced visualization systems like Align and Cal (AnC) and Frame Sync Controller (FSC) applications used by high fidelity training systems. The engineer will participate in full-lifecycle software development including requirements analysis, system and software design, implementation, testing, and integration. The position emphasizes real-time 3D rendering, graphics system integration, and software optimization for pilot training environments.

This role is hands-on and collaborative, operating within a dynamic Agile team to deliver high-quality software products aligned with customer needs and Boeing standards.

BSM is responsible for the design, development, manufacture, and maintenance of training devices for a wide variety of commercial and military aircraft - everything from F-15 fighter jets to Apache attack helicopters, and even NASA's Starliner spacecraft. Software engineers on our team are responsible for all phases of the software lifecycle, including architecture, design, implementation and test. They are also directly involved in planning their own work, as part of the agile methodology, with a focus on technical excellence.

The BSM team is a large software development team comprised of several smaller agile teams, some with specialized skills. Our backlog includes everything from new feature development using cutting-edge technology to maintenance of legacy software baselines. The successful candidate will need to be comfortable working in an often fast-paced environment within a two-week "sprint" schedule.
