The Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) Space Mission Systems (SMS) software capability is seeking multiple Embedded Software Engineers (Associate, Experienced, or Senior) in El Segundo, California.

We are seeking real-time software engineers for our next generation of space-based computers. The selected candidate will be responsible for designing, developing, and testing low level software/firmware that allows the operating system (OS) and application to interact with hardware devices connected to an ARM-based system-on-chip (SOC). The candidate will work with the electronics products and software application team to ensure engineering excellence and achieve program objectives.

Position Responsibilities:

 * Design, develop, integrate, test and debug low level software to initialize devices for board bring up
 * Design, implement, and validate BSP components for Linux/RTOS on RISK processor
 * 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: SoC boot flow, software initialization sequences, register-level programming guides, and integration checklists
 * Review, analyze, and translate customer requirements for software products for embedded devices and systems
 * Drive software execution to deliver products on-cost and on-schedule to program
 * Produce design and test documentation and artifacts
 * Design and write custom tools to support configuration automation and improve development
