Boeing’s 737 MAX software outsourced to $12.80-an-hour engineers

In offices across from Seattle’s Boeing Field, recent college graduates employed by the Indian software developer HCL Technologies occupied several rows of desks, said Mark Rabin, a former Boeing software engineer who worked in a flight-test group that supported the MAX. Boeing said the company did not rely on engineers from HCL and Cyient for the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, which has been linked to the Lion Air crash last October and the Ethiopian Airlines disaster in March. Under Dennis Muilenburg, a longtime Boeing engineer who became chief executive in 2015, the company has said it plans to bring more work back in-house for its newest planes.Credit:AP
