Description

Summary: This role involves developing and deploying cutting-edge signal processing applications to improve warfighter capabilities in modern electronic warfare environments. Highlights: 1. Design, development, and hardware/software integration in Electronic Warfare 2. Develop and deploy cutting-edge signal processing applications 3. Work with custom system-on-chip (SoC) hardware Apply Now Description Today, Electronic Warfare is a growing enterprise - protecting the warfighter and our nional security against ever-adapting thres. Our EW division currently has an exciting opportunity for an Algorithm Software Engineer to perform design, development, and hardware/software integrion 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 ste-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 near-term field demonstrions. Leidos utilizes its proprietary design methodology for hardware software co-design to manufacture custom SoC and IP for high performance applicions. In this role, the Algorithm Software Engineer will develop and deploy cutting edge signal processing applicions 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 th enable analysis, rapid prototyping, and deployment of cutting-edge algorithms. The successful candide will be responsible for:  Contributing to design and development of advanced systems as a part of multi-disciplinary teams.  These teams are made up of other software team members and subject mter experts from the areas of systems engineering, hardware, firmware, RF front end design, and signal processing.  Designing, implementing, and testing C applicions in a real-time environment Understanding and analyzing signal processing algorithms developed in MATLAB Porting signal processing algorithms from MATLAB, Python, or C++ to C in a multi-core environment on Leidos SoCs Optimizing C code for DSP applicions (i.e. leveraging SIMD, VLIW, or hardware accelerors) and parallel processing to achieve real-time requirements Developing Hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) tests to valide signal processing algorithms Clearly communicing technical details of software to internal and external engineers  Supporting system field testing and collection events, usually about a week in durion once or twice a year  At Leidos we value passion for learning.  If you believe you have wh it takes to succeed in this role and are eager to learn, we encourage you to apply.   The successful candide will have the following basic educion/experience:  Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science  8+ years of software development experience, including strong experience in C/C++ software development for embedded systems Understanding of linear algebra and probability Strong understanding of basic signal processing (e.g. Fourier transforms, filtering, complex arithmetic) Understanding of hardware-software interaction and basic computer architecture  Experience in MATLAB and signal processing algorithms Experience with build tools such as GCC, CMake, or Make Experience using version control (e.g. git, Subversion, etc.) and continuous integrion software tools (e.g. Jenkins)  Experience with software testing tools and methodology  Experience in creing and maintaining technical documention for developed software Ability to communice and share ideas, concepts, and designs with a team of engineers Comfortable working in Linux development environments Demonstred ability and motivion to continually learn new technical skills and concepts Must have active Secret level security clearance with the ability to obtain a TS/SCI.
