Remote- Systems Engineering -

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.

We are seeking a Computer Systems Engineer with 5-9 years of professional experience to support the development and integration of space payload emulators in El Segundo, CA. In support of Boeing Defense Systems next-generation space programs, this role focuses on hands-on hardware/software development for embedded systems (Xilinx SoC/FPGA) and front-end UI/UX control interfaces.

This position is tailored for an engineer who thrives in a hands-on lab environment, working side-by-side with multidisciplinary teams (hardware, firmware, software, and test engineers) to bring up hardware, integrate software/logic, and build intuitive emulator interfaces.

Embedded Software & FPGA Platform Integration

Develop, configure, and maintain embedded software and firmware on Xilinx SoC platforms (Zynq UltraScale+, Versal).

Develop and validate Board Support Packages (BSP), PetaLinux/embedded Linux distributions, device drivers, and low-level communication interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, SPI, I2C, UART).

Lead hands-on board bring-up, hardware/software integration, and system-level debugging in a lab environment using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers.

Front-End GUI & Operator Interface Development

Design and implement responsive, reliable front-end graphical user interfaces (GUIs) using Java or modern JavaScript frameworks (e.g., React, Vue, Angular, or JavaFX/Electron).

Build control dashboards, telemetry displays, and command interfaces for payload emulation testbeds and operational teams.

Integrate UI applications with embedded back-end services, APIs, and hardware endpoints for real-time monitoring and control.

Multidisciplinary Lab Collaboration & Hardware/Software Integration

Partner closely with FPGA logic designers, hardware engineers, and systems testers in a collaborative lab environment to diagnose issues and validate end-to-end emulator functionality.

Drive rapid prototyping, root-cause troubleshooting, and iterative testing on lab benches and test fixtures.

Provide technical leadership during hardware/software co-design and integration milestones.

Software Quality & Workflow Optimization

Utilize Xilinx toolchains (Vivado, Vitis, PetaLinux, SDK) for software build pipelines, profiling, and debugging.

Follow modern software engineering practices, including code reviews, documentation, and version control using Git/GitLab.

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline.

Experience: 5-9 years of professional experience in embedded hardware/software development and integration.

Embedded Xilinx Platforms: Proven experience with PS/PL integration, embedded Linux / RTOS, board bring-up, and device driver development.

Front-End Development: Practical development experience creating user interfaces and GUIs using Java (e.g., JavaFX/Swing) or JavaScript (e.g., React, Node, Vue, Electron) frameworks.

Strong hands-on lab troubleshooting and debugging skills using lab test equipment (logic analyzers, DMMs, oscilloscopes, JTAG debuggers).

Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively and collaborate proactively in multidisciplinary, lab-centric engineering teams.

Experience developing custom FPGA IP, working with High-Level Synthesis (HLS), or interfacing with custom hardware peripherals.

Experience with high-speed serial protocols and network communications (10GbE, PCIe, Aurora, SpaceWire, MIL-STD-1553).

Experience building real-time data streaming and command-and-control (C2) visualization tools for space or aerospace test systems.

Familiarity with CI/CD build pipelines, automated testing, and containerized workflows (Docker) for embedded targets.

Demonstrated technical leadership during complex hardware/software integration campaigns.
