Software EngineerToday, 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 a Software Engineer to perform design, development, and hardware/software integration in San Diego, CA.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 Software Engineer will develop and maintain APIs written in Python and MATLAB used to control Hardware Test Equipment, design and build a GUI to serve as a user-facing interface for the Leidos SoC products, and develop complex, highly integrated testing system for RF signal processing applications.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.The successful candidate will be responsible for:Contributing to design and development of advanced systems as a part of multi-disciplinary teams.Designing, implementing, and testing object-oriented applications in Python/MATLABDesigning, implementing, and testing software to configure and control RF hardware devicesIntegrating low-level software with a user-facing GUIDeveloping Hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) tests to validate low-level software APIsDesigning and implementing test framework for implementing HITL tests and deploying applications in HITL test environmentsDocumentation of the developed test software and embedded systemsClearly communicating technical details of test software to internal and external engineersSupporting system field testing and collection events, usually about a week in duration once or twice a yearAt Leidos, we offer competitive benefits, including 4 or more weeks Paid Time Off, 11 paid Holidays, 401K with a 6% company match and immediate vesting, Flexible Schedules, Discounted Stock Purchase Plans, Technical Upskilling, Education and Training Support, Parental Paid Leave, and much more. Join us and make a difference in Electronic Warfare Technology!At Leidos we value passion for learning.
If you believe you have what it takes to succeed in this role and are eager to learn, we encourage you to apply.The successful candidate will have the following basic education/experience:Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science, or related discipline4+ years of software development experience, including strong experience in programming in Python, MATLAB, or C++Strong understanding of object-oriented designBasic understanding of hardware-software interaction and basic computer architectureExperience with hardware interfaces (e.g. PCIe, UART, Ethernet)Experience with build tools (e.g. GCC, CMake, or Make)Experience using version control (e.g.
