Position Overview

Boeing Test and Evaluation team is currently looking for one Associate Software Engineer to join their team in Bengaluru, KA. Test & Evaluation engineers at Boeing make sure that products at the world’s largest aerospace company continue to meet the highest standards. From quality and reliability, to safety and performance, their expertise is vital to the concept, design and certifications of a wide variety of commercial and military systems. We are seeking a Software Engineer to modernize legacy data‑acquisition and network software libraries and tools—refactoring C/C++ code for portability and maintainability, producing cross‑platform artifacts and packages (.so/.dll, .rpm/.deb), porting libraries between Red Hat/CentOS and Ubuntu (and to/from Windows), implementing robust build systems (CMake/autotools/msys), containerizing builds/tests with Docker, performing network programming and SNMP integrations, troubleshooting protocol and interoperability issues with Wireshark, and creating Python bindings to expose native functionality to higher‑level applications.

Position Responsibilities:

In this role, you'll be a lead developer working closely with scrum teams, product managers, and business partners across product boundaries. You'll design and build scalable, highly performant, and resilient solutions that support the needs of our Flight and Lab test community users around the world.

Key Responsibilities

• Modernize legacy C/C++ codebases: refactor, modularize, improve portability, and raise code quality and maintainability.

• Design, implement, and validate cross-platform builds and artifacts: produce *.so and *.dll binaries and maintain build pipelines for Linux and Windows.

• Create and maintain packaging for target distributions: build and publish .rpm and .deb packages, installers, and artifacts.

• Port libraries and applications across Linux distributions (e.g., from Red Hat/CentOS to Ubuntu/Debian) and between Linux and Windows, resolving differences in dependencies, system libraries, init/systemd behavior, and filesystem layout.

• Lead build-system migrations and maintenance using CMake, autotools, and Windows toolchains (MSVC, msys/MinGW).

• Implement and troubleshoot network programming features and SNMP-based functionality.

• Perform network debugging and traffic analysis using tools such as Wireshark to diagnose protocol, latency, and interoperability issues.

• Develop and maintain containerized build and test environments using Docker and related tooling; author Dockerfiles and CI/CD integration.

• Create Python bindings/wrappers and maintain packaging for Python users.

• Integrate native builds into CI pipelines, implement automated tests (unit/integration), and verify cross-platform regression coverage.

• Mentor and collaborate with engineers to adopt modern C++ standards, static analysis, sanitizers, and testing best practices.

• Produce clear technical documentation: build instructions, package manifests, porting notes, and developer guides.
  

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience):

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree is required as a basic qualification preferably in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.

• 5+ years of professional experience focused on C/C++ development, maintenance, and modernization.

• Proven experience building and producing cross-platform native artifacts(.so, .dll) and packaging (.rpm, .deb).

• Hands-on expertise with build systems: CMake, autotools, and Windows build toolchains (MSVC, msys/MinGW).

• Demonstrated experience porting Linux libraries to Windows and vice versa, and porting libraries between Red Hat/CentOS and Ubuntu/Debian distributions.

• Solid knowledge of Linux filesystems, permissions, and runtime behavior.

• Strong background in network programming (sockets, TCP/UDP) and experience with SNMP (agents/clients, MIBs).

• Practical experience with Docker, containerizing builds/tests, and integrating with CI systems.

• Experience performing network debugging and packet analysis using Wireshark.

• Experience creating Python wrappers for C/C++ libraries (tools such as pybind11, SWIG, cffi) and packaging for Python consumption.

• Strong debugging skills with tools like gdb, valgrind, AddressSanitizer/UBSan, and platform-specific debuggers.

• Excellent communication skills and capability to produce clear technical documentation. 
  

Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):

• Familiarity with RPM/DEB packaging internals and tools (rpmbuild, dpkg, fpm).

• Experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions).

• Knowledge of modern C++ standards (C++11/14/17/20) and modern best practices.

• Experience with static analysis tools (clang-tidy, cppcheck) and code coverage tooling.

• Familiarity with cross-compilation toolchains and multi-arch builds.

• Experience with virtualization and Windows-specific subsystems (WSL).

• Background building and maintaining stable public or internal SDKs/APIs.
  

Typical Education & Experience:

• Education/experience typically acquired through advanced education (e.g. Bachelor) and typically 4 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience (e.g. Master+4 years' related work experience.
