junior software engineer

While space domain knowledge is beneficial, the priority for these lower-level Software Engineers is strong software development capability, with opportunities to learn the mission and ground systems domain from senior team members. These Software Engineers will contribute across the software development lifecycle including requirements, design, development, integration, testing, and deployment of mission-critical applications supporting space, mission, and command-and-control environments.

Must have: Java or Python or C%2B%2B (if they have all three, would be perfect), REST API development, CI/CD

Project Scope:

• Support Boeing Defense, Space & Security's Rapid Space Capabilities (RSC) portfolio developing next-generation space and ground software systems. These Software Engineers will contribute across the software development lifecycle including requirements, design, development, integration, testing, and deployment of mission-critical applications supporting space, mission, and command-and-control environments. While space domain knowledge is beneficial, the priority for these lower-level Software Engineers is strong software development capability, with opportunities to learn the mission and ground systems domain from senior team members.
