Job DescriptionAt Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better place. From the seabed to outer space, you can contribute to work that matters with a company where diversity, equity and inclusion are shared values. We're committed to fostering an environment for every teammate that's welcoming, respectful and inclusive, with great opportunity for professional growth. Find your future with us.Boeing Research and Technology (BR&T), the innovation engine of the Boeing Company, looking for an Autonomy Software Lead to develop technology to meet growing demands in the development of autonomous vehicles across Boeing businesses. Boeing's autonomous platforms range from fighter aircraft to weapons to satellite systems to underwater/surface vehicles (e.g., the Boeing Wave Glider has the world record for the longest journey of an unmanned autonomous vehicle, from San Francisco, CA to Queensland, Australia) to commercial aircraft ('flying cars'). The role has a strong software focus - the successful candidate will lead development of innovative autonomous capabilities in areas such as Detect and Avoid, Contingency Management, Multi-Vehicle Collaboration (Swarms), etc., for current and future Boeing platforms. The development of these capabilities include multi-disciplinary skills- algorithms development (including AI/ML), systems development and integration, knowledge of cloud computing/simulation at scale. This position will be based in Hazelwood, Missouri.Position Summary:This position will involve executing applied research projects in automated decision making, machine perception, multi-vehicle collaborative control and autonomy architectures that will enable innovative capabilities (e.g. Detect and Avoid, Contingency Management, Multi-vehicle collaborative mission management) for current and future Boeing products. Work will include leading technology development efforts to prove the feasibility of new capabilities and can include integration and maturation up through flight testing in available indoor and outdoor UAV testbeds. Software efforts will also include work with simulations, control stations, networking/communications systems and cloud computing to support the testing of the new capabilities.This position involves working in a dynamic team environment on small (1-2) to medium (3-6) person projects where excellent interpersonal and communication skills are needed. Due to the research nature of the work, project objectives and requirements are likely to evolve over the course of the project. A small amount of domestic travel to support integration, demonstration and customer engagement will be required.Position Responsibilities:
