Role Description

The Boeing Company is looking for a Simulation Software Engineer (Associate or Experienced) (Virtual) with a focus on visualizations using Unreal Engine to join the High Fidelity Virtual Cab (HFVC) team. This position will support the development of solutions to a wide range of complex problems that require ingenuity and innovation.

• Contribute to the development and integration of airplane models, simulations, and hardware emulations using high fidelity Unreal game engine visualizations of Boeing aircraft and flight decks.
• Build polished Unreal Engine applications used for high-fidelity, real-time visualization across aircraft simulation and other data-driven projects.
• Deliver features in Blueprints and C++ (plugins, subsystems, components) using our internal framework.
• Integrate UE with real-time backends/simulations: ingest time-stamped data, handle sync/rates, and maintain smooth visuals.
• Build clean UIs with UMG/Slate and bind them to live data.
• Profile and optimize with Unreal Insights; manage frame pacing, memory, loading, and asset streaming.
• Package reliable builds, write concise docs/samples, and collaborate across engineering teams.

Qualifications

• C++: solid APIs, RAII, async/tasks, multithreading fundamentals (preferred).
• Real-time integration with complex simulations/backends (e.g., aircraft/robotics/industrial) (preferred).
• Visualization performance engineering: use Insights/stat groups to find bottlenecks and hold steady frame budgets (preferred).
• CI/CD exposure: Git + a pipeline (GitLab/GitHub/Azure) (preferred).
• Windows + Visual Studio toolchain; strong debugging and logging habits (preferred).
• Clear written/spoken communication; ability to map an interface contract/ICD into UE data models (preferred).
