General program information and/or position overview:
##
Leidos’ Undersea Systems Division is seeking a Software Engineer in San Diego, CA to join a fast-paced R&D engineering group. This role is a unique opportunity to drive innovation in underwater vehicle systems, maritime sensors, subsea telemetry, and ISR solutions that support critical defense and national security missions at Naval Information Warfare Center, Pacific (NIWC PAC).
Leidos’ USD is a recognized leader in C4ISR technologies, delivering innovative, mission-critical solutions across sensor networks, unmanned systems, and tactical platforms. We’re known for achieving “industry firsts” in the most challenging maritime domains.
Join us and be part of a world-class team delivering unmatched solutions for today's most pressing maritime missions.
This position will require the candidate to maintain a Secret Clearance to start.
This position will require the candidate to work a 9/80B schedule (80 hours of work into nine days over a two-week period, allowing for every other Friday off) onsite at NIWC to align with the NIWC government team.
Primary Responsibilities:
This individual will work with a small team of engineers and technicians to develop, test, and deliver uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs) based on system requirements. Specific development includes software related to operations of UUVs as well as sensor integration.
Required Experience / Skills:
- Develop and refine user interface and control of various sensors integrated onboard UUVs.
- Develop and optimize UUV behaviors to accomplish assigned tasks while maximizing opportunities for sensor data collection.
- Self-motivated engineer with demonstrated hands-on hardware/software bring-up and benchtop troubleshooting experience.
- Strong systems programming capabilities in Linux, Python, and C or C++.
- Practical understanding of TCP networking and socket-level data transport.
- Develop platform-independent data processing tools.
- Produce SW performance reports based on test & evaluation requirements.
- Create engineering & training documentation for technological deliveries.
Testing involves working onboard small boats and ships on the ocean, launching and recovering systems at sea, and post-test analysis of data. Reporting includes providing results from post-test data analysis into official reports or briefing material. Most development and testing will be conducted in San Diego; however, engineers may occasionally travel in support of testing, training and/or operations in other locations both in the U.S. and abroad and may spend multiple days at-sea onboard ships.
