Leidos • Bethesda, MD • 7h ago

Description

Join Our Innovative Team at Leidos!

Ready to break away from the ordinary and dive into an extraordinary career? At Leidos' High Fidelity Simulation Business Area, we're not just building systems-we're revolutionizing the future of naval simulation, training, and analysis for the US Navy. Imagine being part of a team where your work directly redefines naval capabilities. That's the Leidos experience.

Why You'll Love Working Here

Forget the cookie-cutter corporate gig. Here, every day is a new adventure. You'll be at the cutting edge, working with state-of-the-art tech to shape naval training systems like CIAT - Combined Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) and Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Trainer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPJKsFhBp30) . As a Software Engineer, you'll develop real-time software on Linux using C++ and Java, diving deep into all phases of the development process, using the best available tools and modern architectures.

Your Impact

Your work won't just sit on a shelf. It'll be front and center, shaping the trajectory of naval operations. Plus, you'll get the chance to travel to strategic locations like Pearl Harbor, San Diego, and Norfolk, immersing yourself in the real-world impact of your creations.

We're Looking for Innovators Like You

If you're a whiz with cluster computing, signal processing, Kubernetes, numerical simulation, multi-threading, GPUs, data visualization, underwater acoustic modeling, or sonar systems, you're exactly who we need.

What's in It for You?

Impactful Work: Engage in meaningful projects with systems going into production within six months. Your work matters here.

Overtime Compensation: Any hours worked beyond the standard 40-hour workweek are compensated at straight time rates.

Required Education & Experience

Education: B.S./B.A. in Computer Science or equivalent experience.

Citizenship: U.S. Citizenship and eligibility for a U.S. Government granted security clearance. Interim Secret security clearance required for employment.

Desired Experience

Education: Advanced degree, continuing education in computer science, or advanced math/physics background.

Skills: Experience in cluster computing, signal processing, Kubernetes, numerical simulation, multi-threading, GPUs, data visualization, underwater acoustic modeling, and sonar systems.
