Embedded Software Engineer — Senior

Boeing is seeking a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to lead the design, development, and test of low-level software and firmware for ARM-based system-on-chip space computers in the Space Mission Systems organization.

Applications will be accepted until July 8, 2026.

Responsibilities

• Lead design, development and test of low-level software to initialize devices for board bring up.
• Assign tasks, provide guidance and verify work to junior software engineers.
• Gather user requirements and decompose to software level for software architecture and design.
• Design, implement, and validate BSP components for Linux/RTOS on ARM Cortex-A/R/M cores.
• Write and optimize device drivers for memory controllers, on-chip peripherals, DMA controllers, interrupt controllers, and security engines.
• Collaborate with hardware engineers to define register maps, timing requirements, and recommended initialization sequences.
• Architect and implement software abstractions for memory-mapped accelerators, interconnect fabric (AXI, NoC), and coherent cache architectures.
• Write and maintain detailed documentation including SoC boot flow, software initialization sequences, register-level programming guides, and integration checklists.
• Drive software execution to deliver products on-cost and on-schedule to program.
• Design and write custom tools to support configuration automation and improve development.

Requirements

• 5+ years of related work experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Ability to obtain a DoD Secret US Security Clearance, for which the US Government requires US Citizenship.
• 2+ years of experience in ARM assembly for performance-critical code.
• 2+ years of experience with C/C++ coding with strong proficiency.
• 2+ years of experience working with real-time operating systems (RTOS).
• 2+ years of hands-on experience designing, verifying, and integrating SoC components including processors, memory controllers, peripherals, and interconnect fabrics (AXI, NoC).
• 2+ years of experience developing BSPs and device drivers for Linux (u-boot, kernel) and/or real-time operating systems on ARM-based custom platforms.

Bonus Points

• Experience developing embedded software on ARM Cortex-A, -R, and/or -M cores.
• Experience designing cache coherence protocols, memory hierarchies, and bus arbitration mechanisms.
• Experience with automating software builds, unit tests, and integration tests using a DevOps tool chain.
• Proficiency with AXI bus protocol and NoC architecture.
• Ability to create software-driven test plans for SoC validation.

Additional Information

This position requires the ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance for which the U.S. Government requires U.S. Citizenship. An interim U.S. Secret Clearance Pre-Start and final U.S. Secret Clearance Post-Start is required. Employer will not sponsor applicants for employment visa status.
