The Boeing Company announced the appointment of Jinnah Hosein as Vice President of Software Engineering, effective immediately. Hosein will report to Greg Hyslop, Boeing chief engineer and senior vice president of Engineering, Test & Technology.
In this newly created role, Hosein will focus on further strengthening Boeing’s focus on software engineering across the enterprise.
“The continued advances in software makes excellence in software engineering an imperative for our business,” said Hyslop. “Jinnah will be charged with defining and leading Boeing’s strategy for software engineering, which includes providing capabilities, technologies, processes and secure and accurate systems to meet the needs of all our customers across the entire product life cycle.”
Hosein will lead a new, centralized organization of engineers who currently support the development and delivery of software embedded in Boeing’s products and services. The team will also integrate other functional teams to ensure engineering excellence throughout the product life cycle.
“Safety, quality and integrity underpin the mission of our software engineering team, and building on this solid foundation, Jinnah will be a transformational leader for Boeing,” said Dave Calhoun, Boeing president and CEO. “Jinnah’s broad experience and fresh perspective will elevate our performance and accelerate the important work we’ve already begun in this area.”
Prior to this role, Hosein served as vice president of Software Engineering for Aurora, a self-driving vehicle company, in Palo Alto, California.
