Job Description

Today, Electronic Warfare is a growing enterprise - protecting the warfighter and our national security against ever-adapting threats. Our EW division currently has an exciting opportunity for an Algorithm Software Engineer to perform design, development, and hardware/software integration in San Diego, CA for the Electronic Warfare Division. Leidos is a DOD leader in electronic design and chiplet manufacture. Our division primarily focuses on research & development and advanced prototyping, transforming state-of-the-art processing algorithms into real-time software systems. Projects involve small multi-disciplinary teams of engineers working together in spiral or agile development environments to meet aggressive customer schedules aimed at near-term field demonstrations. Leidos utilizes its proprietary design methodology for hardware software co-design to manufacture custom SoC and IP for high performance applications. In this role, the Algorithm Software Engineer will develop and deploy cutting edge signal processing applications to improve the capabilities of the warfighter in modern electronic warfare environments. This role requires understanding signal processing algorithms and deploying them to massively parallelized pipelines executed to meet extreme real-time requirements on Leidos SoCs. The Algorithm Software Engineer is responsible for interfacing with a diverse set of engineers from signal processing, embedded, and RF teams. Join a team of experts in implementing high-performance signal processing on custom system-on-chip (SoC) hardware and building the tools that enable analysis, rapid prototyping, and deployment of cutting-edge algorithms.
