The Boeing Company is seeking a Simulation Software Engineer to contribute to the development and integration of airplane models, simulations, and hardware emulations using high-fidelity Unreal Engine visualizations of Boeing aircraft and flight decks. The role aims to build polished Unreal Engine applications for high-fidelity, real-time visualization across aircraft simulation and other data-driven projects.
Requirements
- 2+ years of developing using Unreal Engine plus blueprint scripting
- 2+ years of experience in C++ programming
- 2+ years of experience using GitLab and/or Jira
- 2+ years of experience with scripting languages such as Python
