Form of workJob Description: Boeings Advanced Design and Prototype Solutions (ADaPS) organization in Huntsville, AL is looking for an Associate Software Developer to contribute to advanced development of the Client-3 (Patriot Advanced Capability 3) missile defense system, test equipment. The Client-3 is designed to intercept tactical, short- and medium-range ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and air-breathing threats. It intercepts ballistic missiles in their terminal phase of flight.
The software engineer will join a team developing and testing complex test equipment for the Client-3 development and production programs. This role will have emphasis on understanding and enhancing testing of the next generation missile defense. The work entails requirement development, software development, and test development and execution.
ADaPS (an organization of over 130 software engineers) supports programs across the entire portfolio of Boeing products including Space Launch Systems (SLS) Upper Stage, Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD - missile defense), Commercial Space Crew Transportation System (CST-100), and Advanced Missile Defense efforts including Patriot Advanced Capability. ADaPS specializes in implementing rapid prototyping and development programs using small, adaptable agile teams.
Position Responsibilities:
Contribute to development and deployment of automated test equipment for lab and factory automation, including data processing and control algorithm development
Work in small agile teams composed of diverse engineering skills.
